Oh hi! This is a day late. Aaron got home Monday night and we stayed up until MIDNIGHT (like complete idiots) watching Avett Brothers videos and listening to new-to-me hip hop that he learned about on his dude’s trip. So this is a day late. But so worth it. Because everything is green and light […]

Peanut Noodles with Vegetables
Twas the night before Thanksgiving when all through the mouths Salivation began pooling, eager to fill up the south. The turkey was brining in the fridge with care. In hopes that all family members, weirdos included, soon would be there. The stomach was nestled all snug in its space. Getting rest for what was about […]
Coconut Curry Chicken Soup
Siiiiiiiiiiimple simple simple simple. Super simple. It’s almost embarrassing. By the way, did you have a nice weekend? I feel like I never ask how you are. Is that rude of me? Because I want to know. I seriously do! Can I just tell you that I started reading Gone Girl Friday night and I’m […]
Grilled Asian Steak Salad
You know how David Spade says the word “salon” in the old SNL skit, with the accent on the first syllable? Like, SAlon? That’s the way I like to say salad. SAlad. But you have to say it like SAlod and change the way the second syllable sounds, sort of hollowing it out a little, […]

Soba Noodles with Scallops and Vegetables
Slurp. Crunch. Chew. Pow. Zing. Faint. Repeat. That’s pretty much what we’re dealing with here, folks. A quadrafecta of bite by bite mouthal blowout.

Chicken Massaman Curry
So I’m tweeting with Phillip Phillips’ girlfriend. Is this a new low for me? I prefer to think of it as a new awesome. I tried tweeting with Phillip himself, but when I noticed a line of cop cars in front of my house and snipers in my birch trees, I climbed down from my […]
Chicken Stir-Fry With Bean Sprouts and Snow Peas
What? What white stuff all over the roads and yards and sidewalks? What fluffy substance dancing in the air slowly making its way to the ground? What white-knuckled drive to work 8 hours from now? I have NO idea what you’re talking about. Seriously, is there a petition we can sign? Chicken Stir-Fry With Bean […]
A Wok Down Memory Lane
I remember growing up during my teenage years in Hobbs, New Mexico, on a very flat street in the middle of the desert. My dad spent many a night tossing different meats and veggies around the stir-fry wok. He loved and I mean loved to stir-fry for the family. Mom got a break and it […]
