I have been meaning to make bubble tea for forever and a day. Okay, right, that is obviously an exaggeration, but seriously it has been years. I even have the boba tapioca pearls in my pantry. Still it hasn’t happened. Today was not the day either. However, being recently sick and propped up in my… Continue reading Coconut Tapioca

Old Standby
Everyone has that old standby recipe, right? There is that one ingredient that whispers at you, cat calls perhaps, as you walk by it in the grocery store. My ingredient is kale. When there is a bunch of kale, it will not go bad. I will dress it simply and devour it. Fortunately, Alex too,… Continue reading Old Standby
I shouldn’t have found this
The problem with biography is that biographers either love or hate their subjects. I like to read biographical love letters, yes, just short of hagiography. In the President Project, this is dangerous for me. You see, these men just come off as sexy and they ruin my dreams and inhabit my poetry. So,when I saw… Continue reading I shouldn’t have found this
Berry Blue Marshmallows
The other day, when I was sick and in bed, I was perusing the April 2010 Food Network Magazine. There, I saw an awesome picture of these pretty pastel marshmallows. And as pictures like these are supposed to, they ignited a desire for marshmallows. So, I went online to find the site where these came… Continue reading Berry Blue Marshmallows
The Slippery Year
I am a sucker for those books that take you on a journey of someone’s year. Eat, Pray, Love; Plenty; Animal Vegetable Miracle; The Happiness Project. Are You There Vodka, It’s Me, Chelsea; Kiss and Tango; Cooking for Mr. Latte; I Loved, I Lost, I made Spaghetti. I just finished The Slippery Year. There are so… Continue reading The Slippery Year
Eggs in Purgatory
I had never heard of “eggs in purgatory” until very recently. I saw it once, thought it interesting, then saw it everywhere. This morning was the perfect morning for a breakfast such of this. I was sick enough to be sort of slow and uncomfortable, but not sick enough to justify calling in sick when… Continue reading Eggs in Purgatory
Nutella love
I love Nutella. It is an obsessive improper love. I struggle to manage it. I am shy about the peanut butter aisle because if I make eye contact with the Nutella it is going to come home with me. My mouth waters at the thought. I can’t be alone with a virgin jar of Nutella… Continue reading Nutella love
Goal 24: Done
It’s the cocktail goal. There’s something about always being the girl to order a Jack and Coke at the bar when she goes dancing by herself that is a little uncomfortable. It’s just not ladylike. (Stop laughing!) So, I decided to learn more about what I like and what I don’t like in terms of… Continue reading Goal 24: Done
Dirty little secret
I have a confession. Even, I, maker of mayo-less coleslaw, cooker of quinoa, saute-er of spinach; succumbs to the power of a certain processed cheese product. I blame my childhood. Not that we had this often, but sometimes we did and it was delicious. And maybe If I tell you that it reminds me of… Continue reading Dirty little secret
Caldo Verde
I was playing around with on Bloglines when I came across a soup I had saved as new. At 30 Bucks a Week, there was a recipe for what they called Quasi Caldo Verde. Upon looking at it, I thought, “I have the ingredients to make something like that.” So, I did. I was way… Continue reading Caldo Verde
