OMG. First, this is a journey for me. Much like Mary Oliver, pie crusts and my ever-growing brass mirror collection. A journey. (don’t look at me like that, Mindy.) Which means, I’ve not mastered it. But I had to document where I landed this week because still, STILL, it was unbelievably flooring. My ricotta (which […]
Ricotta! Cheese! Cheese. It’s just great. I know you get (understandably) nervous when I bake. I get it. I do, too. But this turned out! It’s flourless, dense in a way, creamy in another, light in another, succulent in another, sinful in another. But don’t look at my cinnamon sprinkling abilities. It uh, got out […]
Free-form! We like free-form lasagna. Don’t argue with me. This is one of those springy-summery meals that’s super comforting, but doesn’t feel like you ate a wet cinder block. It’s also vegetarian, but you can absolutely throw in some shredded rotis if your hearts cries. LEZ BREAK HER DOWN. By the way, are these helpful? […]
Crepes! As in – the real deal. From scratch. From crepe scratch. Plus an obscene amount of melted mozzarella because these are the ridiculous decisions of my life. So, the other day I was watching Jacques Pépin on the PBS, and he was whipping up these beautiful, light, golden brown crepes lightning fast, while his […]
Breakfast! And also, I lost my camera cord. You know the cord that attaches the camera to the computer so you can dump photos? Lost it. And it’s MAKING ME CRAZY. I use it almost every single day. It’s always in one spot! And now it’s completely gone. Vanished. Disappeared. This has twins written all […]
I just discovered my new favorite lunch of all time. Or breakfast if you put a fried egg on top! Orrrr dinner if you add some thinly sliced steak on top! Orrrrrrrr dessert if you put a scoop of chocolate fudge ice cream on top! Oh I’m just kidding, you guyyyyzzzzz. There would be at […]
If you ask me, there’s a rumble of mighty confusion among the lands. And by lands, I mean my noggin. You know what, I’m just going to ask you. I asked the Google, but it only led me down a path of befuddlement and flask shopping. What’s the stinkin’ difference between manicotti and cannelloni? They’re […]
So you know how we went to Arkansas last weekend for the holiday and I got that enormous tree log splinter stuck in my thigh? Well I have good news. We got the splinter out. And then we made cheese. And the cool thing was, the very tools and chemicals we used to get the […]
So wait, I thought the chicken was the eggplant. BA-DOMP. I’m here all night, folks. So, eggplant is that vegetable that I totally on purpose forget about. I see it every summer in farmers’ markets, in various shapes, sizes and stunning shades of purple, and I run away like the boogie man is chasing me […]
I love it when food has attitude. Like this. This lasagna is practically standing in a big open field with braids and flowers in its hair and a huge sign, “Whatever, I’m free-form. Wanna make something of it? And by the way, I just burned my bra.” It’s lasagna without much willy nilly. There’s […]
