Friday Flotsam
FFFFFFFFFFFslkdfjslkfjsldjfiday. I have something to tell you. And I’m not sure how you’ll take it, truthfully. I mean, it’s hefty. Scary. Big. It’s something I’ve kept hidden deep in the chambers of my soul cavity for nearly 20 years. Only a handful of close friends knew of this darkness within me. Them, and the handfuls […]
Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Pasta
Winner winner chicken di- you know what, no. When did that whole weird thing start anyway? Who INVENTED that strand of strange words? And why wasn’t it me? I guess my time in life will come someday. In the meantime (“on the other side of town” – name that show), I made you the creamiest, […]

Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRUDERDAYDOODAH. I brushed my teeth with sunscreen. NOT ON PURPOSE, ya yahoo! Complete accident. Both are white. Both are also in a white tube. Both also have the exact same labeling.

But there’s this Thai restaurant in town that fries their tofu, and it is absolute bliss to eat. Crispyyyyyy and spongyyyyyy and spicyyyyyyy. UGH. I had to try it. So this recipe is sort […]
Shrimp Scampi with Tomatoes and Crusty Bread
Also known as, my five-year old daughter’s advanced tongue’s favorite food. SHRIMP. Isn’t that so bizarre?! She loves it. Craves it. Asks for it. And I’m always like, “SHRIMP? REALLY? Don’t you want peanut butter and jelly or cheese and crackers or like, candy? Here, open your mouth and let me pour this sugar straight […]
Chicken Salsa Soup
Soup! On the second day of spring. IT IS STILL CHILLY, GUYS. I’m not yelling at you. Sometimes I speak like Owen Meany. Remember that book? A Prayer for Owen Meany? He’s this tiny dude that screams constantly in all caps? That’s me. So yeah, soup! CHICKEN SALSA SOUP. And I feel like you’re here […]
Thai Coconut Noodles
EVERYBODY’S GONE SLURPIIIIIN’, SLURPIN’ USA. Ummm, this is your new life. Your new got-nothing-to-make-for-dinner-so-noodles-it-is life. But Thai! Thai COCONUT AND PEANUT BUTTER. (no it’s not frozen peanut butter, I’ll save you the time and make the joke myself.) These are sloppy, soaked, silky, slurpalicious and seriously seductive. Let’s take a squint. Okay, it seems like […]
