Like winter bruschetta! Like the WINTER PIE. But toast. I’m trying to capitalize on winter right now, can you tell? This is what I imagine for your Valentine’s Day. Besides this playlist. And these gifts. This bruschetta! It’s a snack, but make it fashion. Roasted tomatoes and onions slathered in umami, over tangy but sweet […]
Oh, that rhymed! This is the thing: this topping? UNREAL. I’m calling it bruschetta because it’s on toasted baguette and it sounds super cute, but do you want to know how I ate it after a bite of the toast? Besides spooning it with a shovel into my unhinged jaw? Salad! I sprinkled it over […]
OKAY, let’s talk about something real quick before you yell at me all off-with-her-head style. Also, look at that. ^^ I mean my gosh. Okay but first. AH KNOW that the word “bruschetta” actually refers to the garlicky grilled bread in which the chopped tomatoes rest upon. And there’s no actual bread in this risotto. […]
Mmmmm Earth eating! (that sounded better in my head) First of all, it was McStormy-doo while I was shooting this recipe, so I opted for my phone to make things easier. So, if things seem slightly blurry, it’s definitely your eyes. Not my phone. It’s you. All you. Glad we got that out of the […]
More tomaters! Only this time we’re slooooow roastin’. As opposed to slow cookin’. Remember? From like, two days ago? Never mind. These golden beauts, I must admit, do not come from my very pregnant garden. They’re farmer’s market finds because I cannot liiiiiiive without golden tomatoes. Which makes me wonder why I don’t just grow […]
I almost want to put these in time-out I love them so much. Time-out IN MY MOUTH. I accidentally typed moth at first. Time-out in my moth. I don’t . . . even want to know what that . . . could be. So this is what’s going on. It’s like Mexitalian sort of. In […]
Sometimes I just don’t have words. OH DON’T GIVE ME THAT LOOK. But really, sometimes there’s just nothing to say. I could try to tell how you much this polenta bruschetta rocks bawls. But you can look at that silky spinach pesto and little baby cherry tomato slices and seared plump shrimp and you know. […]
Before we go any further here, I need to come clean about something. I don’t know exactly how it happened, or what was going on inside the cerebral mass inside my head skull, but it did happen. And I can’t go back and fix it. I’ll never be able to go back and correct the […]
We had a big storm last night. We had sheets and sheets of insane rain, monstrous claps of thunder and everything. We had lightning, too. Oh guess what! One of the lightning bolts struck my neighbor’s tree, splitting it right down the center. It totally looks like something you’d see in a National Geographic magazine […]
Remember the scene in “Julie and Julia” when Julie is ferociously chopping tomatoes in her teeny Queen’s kitchen, while frying the most beautiful slices of rustic bread, and the camera cuts quickly from the bread, to the tomatoes, to the perfectly torn basil, to her arranging the bruschetta, to them inhaling the works of edible […]
