Another Day, Another “Curry in a Hurry”
Today was the first day of my renewed and concerted effort to get back into the weekday routine that I love: work early, yoga class (aiming for 3/week), and cooking a healthy yummy dinner. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m addicted to reading blogs about lots of topics, but cooking and food especially. I picked this […]

Web Site of the Week - Beatboxin’ Pooch
A friendly pirate told me about this awesome site. I’m having so much fun playing with this guy. Since it’s not in English, here’s what I’ve figured out so far: press start, let the beat start, then start making him beatbox to your command using the a-s-d-f-g-h, etc. keys. Looks like you can record your […]

GotFruit.com - The Gift That Keeps on Giving

The delivery even comes with a cool fact sheet about each fruit including ripening and storage information. Here’s a little excerpt,
“The Cara Cara originated in Valencia, Venezuela, and […]

Cure Your Cold - Eat this Soup
Thanks to Vegan Yum Yum for this delicious cold-curing Hot and Sour Cabbage Soup. I get a lot of my recipes from awesome food blogs and most of them I read religiously but never post comments or otherwise thank the bloggers. So thank you! I read this a few weeks ago and saved for a […]

California Dreamin’
We just got back from California where we spent Valentine’s Day celebrating the wedding of R’s friend, Don Handfield, to his lovely bride, Tressa DiFiglia. We left Dulles on Wednesday, 2/13/08 and didn’t get to San Diego until about 12am West Coast time because our fight was delayed due to the icy conditions. When we […]

Super Tuesday Dinner - Indian Omelet & Swiss Chard
Holy close-up Batman. My second picture didn’t come out too well - sorry! Tonight I made Indian Vegan Omlettes from Global Vegan and Tiny Morsel’s Rainbow Chard with Cherries and Pinenuts (again). It was my first time making the omelet recipe and I think it came out really well. Next time I will add […]

As my niece would say - “Today is the Best Day EVER!”
So we’re getting to the point where birthdays aren’t supposed to be a big deal…but my friends and family insist on making it the best day ever! It was a normal work day sprinkled with friendly emails, phone calls, and flowers from Mom & Chris. I didn’t make any plans tonight because I thought we […]

What is Your Favorite Bean?
My husband and I were talking about our favorite beans last week. (I forget how this came up). We both decided that our favorite bean is the garbanzo bean. This is the only bean that I could eat every day and enjoy it, on a salad, blended into hummus, and of course falafel. I guess […]

Over the Rainbow Chard
I’m a week behind on posting. I realized that this blog is turning almost exclusively into a food blog…which is not good or bad. I think Steph and I will be sitting down at some point to play around with the blog a little more. Cooking just happens to be one of my favorite […]

Food for a Lazy Weekend & Busy Week
Last weekend was cold and gloomy. I was really tired and worn out probably because I was still recovering from my most recent bout of annoying sickness (rhymes with “mingles”) so I stayed in, rested, read, watched football, and spent some time cooking. I really enjoy cooking especially when I have time to experiment and […]

Beer & Clamato - Yum…Maybe
Here’s an interesting tidbit about a new beer cocktail coming out from Anheuser Busch. I used to be a beer drinker until about 5 years ago when somehow for unknown reasons I became a wine drinker, favoring wine over beer at parties and dinners. I’ve never really been able to drink liquor/cocktails without getting a […]
