Date Nite

Forget where we went for dinner: look where we went for dessert! Don’t the KKreme just rock? All the people who work there have this marvelous island accent (are they all from the Bahamas?) and getting one of the hot, fresh-from-the-sugar-fountain delights can totally change your perspective on life. And their coffee is utterly superior [...]

Mid-Morning Suburbia

I had my wasabi peas and Dr. Sparkle in a wineglass (the Dr. Sparkle was in the wineglass, not the peas), and the Husband and I were sitting happily working on our computers in the kitchen together, communicating by email. I left to go sew a button on my shirt, and while rummaging through my [...]

puffed cheese toasts from the monastery

I have this marvelous, crumbling and yellowed cookbook called From a Monastery Kitchen: a practical cookbook of vegetarian recipes for the four seasons complete from soups to desserts with breads. A great title, don’t you agree? The cookbook is compiled of Brother Victor Avila’s recipes, and is just crammed with little bits of wisdom, quotes, [...]

while I was roasting the corn

The Maker used the corn husks to draw a house and a… guy. The “smoke” coming out of the chimney is corn silk. The Maker also rolled up a corn husk and used it as a straw to drink his soy milk with. I’m not sure I was this clever when I was seven.

The Pancake Scheduling System

Last Saturday morning I rocked the house with my (only slightly singed or gooey, take your pick) made-from-scratch (um, I mixed the milk and raspberries into the Bisquick) pancakes. The boys are not particularly snooty about their pancakes, thus I was hailed by all as the undisputed (and uncontested — no one ELSE wants to [...]

Well, it isn’t a dinner PLAN

I love the day after a birthday. Today I came home with great anticipation, and lo, a slice had survived. I’m realistic: I live in a house with four men. I figure I had approximately a one in fifty shot at a second serving of last night’s birthday cake. Well, I played the birthday cake [...]
