MAAAAAARCH! (I get excited about things.) At last, I’m seeing longer strands of 60s in the extended forecast. Windows have been open twice in the last seven days.

Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRRRRRerherderpermerder! So this is the kind of stuff I think about. You’re like, here we go. Have you ever noticed how any business offices you call – no matter if it’s the doctor’s office, home improvement store, toenail repair shop – EVERYONE’S MENU HAS CHANGED? “Please listen carefully, as our menu has changed.” Why did […]
Ranch Shrimp and Spinach Pizzas
Time to unleash our inner closet sorority girl! Is “inner closet” repetitively redundant? Eh, who’s to say. RANCH pizzas. I’m not even sorry about how much I love ranch dressing.

Lemon Fennel Orecchiette
You’re like, GRODY FENNEL? Come on, dost thou not trust moi? (said like Diane Chambers.) Roasting fennel is one of those secret loop holes of life. It’s sweet. But it’s savory. It’s tender.

Asian Pork Bowls with Noodles and Veggies
I love when a recipe brings me to my knees and face. Much like a pizza or a taco. Just kidding, I’m talking about this one. UM, it is incredible. It’s one of those meals that has so many layers of texture, which is exactly what my soul craves. CRUNCH, crisps, marinated pork, tender noodles, […]

Fralemtime’s Fray! (just kidding don’t delete me from your life.) OKAY. (you’re like, oh no.) I want to ask you something serious, and I need to you mentally and emotionally prepare yourself for it.

Just warning you now, it’s pasta aaaaaall week! (I felt that collective soul nod.) It would be sacrilegious otherwise, being V-day at the end of this week. Or, Balemtime’s Bay as I call it because I’m a complete turd. But you don’t rightly care because I’m finally posting my slow-roasted tomato sauce pasta thingy! It’s […]
