Rapaciousness in Blue
I really love my new dishes! When I was living in Logan Circle and had a roommate, I bought a really nice double set of Mikasa settings for 4. He didn’t contribute anything to the kitchen and between our cooking...

My Baking Dish Overfloweth
I think I’ve found my new easy-bake potluck dish. I’ve never used Orzo in anything, a while back I saw Ina Garten prepare a shrimp and orzo dish so I bought it planning for that. More recently I found a...

Dead Kitties on his sofa! (they’re just sleeping kids, really)
Tocho and Zuni are just too cute for words. The more pics I get and take of my friends’ pets, the more I want some of my own. It’s been a good day so far, had a little bit of...
A few Sunday table scraps
Yesterday was a bit of a good food day, breakfast, farmers market, and last night’s dinner of salmon roulettes with spinach stuffing, and lime thai-style rice in coconut milk. While I was having breakfast, I saw that my local watering...
these are the times…
Virgo: You may have to cut back on your big vacation plans for a while, but don’t get discouraged. You can still take your trip; it may just need to wait. Paradoxically, the more effort you put into making it...
