AND I’m back….
Can we not talk about my inconsistency, my lack of inspiration, the one hundred and three books I read and the gazillion cartoons I watched since I last blogged?
Please?
Let us instead talk about the four countries I visited, the people I met, the food I ate, and the photos I [...]

Here I am again with an incredibly healthy recipe for the veggie challenged.
(For all you cynics out there – heavy cream is now being considered a vegetable. As is bacon. Ask anyone!)
But jokes aside, as someone who’s still trying to get the hang of cooking on a regular basis (as opposed to cooking fun party [...]

It’s been over a week since the last post.
I apologize.
I was unwell for a while, you see. But I’m on my way to feeling better!
The thing about convalescence though, is that I end up feeling as hungry as a tiger.
So, I made some Massaman Curry.
Why?
1. Because I am a firm believer that hungry [...]

This is my first salad posting! Doesn’t say much about my eating habits does it?
For the record, I love veggies (no, really. You can ask my mother if you want .
My husband, on the other hand, is a whole different story.
The boy’s favorite vegetable is bacon, so the less said, the better I think.
Anyway, [...]

Snow storm this week.

Apparently, the seals in Antarctica aren’t the only ones that can get snowed in.

Why didn’t anyone tell me????
Anyway, this is how it looked when it started snowing.

Alright, I can’t wait any longer, I have to tell you guys all the good news. Since I am the most organized person in the world (I have only lost my cell phone about twice. Last year.) and because I love lists, here we go:
1. I’m married (ok, I know this isn’t exactly news, but [...]

I have to share this recipe with you guys. My favorite meatballs with the best tomato sauce ever.
Ever.
Really.
We begin with bacon. I love saying that. All good things begin with bacon, don’t you think?
The recipe I’m giving you serves two, so feel free to adjust portions. I looked at about a million meatball recipes. There [...]

Whats your favorite dip? This one’s mine!
I discovered the deliciousness of eggplant quite late in life. For those of you that hate eggplant, all it takes is one great eggplant dish, and you’ll be a convert!
And let me tell you, this is way better than just great. This is eat-every-last-bit-and-steal-some-off-your-husband’s-plate great. No, really.I [...]

Alright, alright! As always, I need to apologize first for having been away all this while (Always assuming you’ve missed me, of course). But I have good excuses!

When I first saw this recipe in an old issue of the Food & Wine magazine it got me really excited. I remember mentally hitting myself on the head for not having ever tried making this before. All my life, I’ve been throwing away potato peel! Never again though… This recipe calls for little besides [...]
