This is my gratitude list for today.
I am incredibly thankful for the following:
for butter. The nutty flavor it lends to anything that cooks in it.
for pasta and all its versatility, especially the concept of ravioli.
for caramelized onions. Especially when done in butter and perhaps a little bit of wine to add sweetness…..yummmmmm
for mushrooms. [...]

Someone just e-mailed me inviting Martin and me out for ice cream this evening. We want to hang out with them, but the timing is bad. It will be well after dinner and almost right up against bed-time and I found my self thinking “no way do I need those heavy calories that [...]

okay. Kids love weird things, right? and moms want easy and good for them (cleverly disguised, naturally)
so if your kids like deviled eggs, try this:
Ooook-Out Eyeball Eggs
take canned quails eggs (pre boiled, peeled and packed in water. These can be found at your local international food mart for just about 5 cents per egg)
drain [...]

I just went to a fabulous lunch with my co-workers.
A couple of months ago we won a $100 gift card to a local restaurant and we’ve been trying to find a good time when we could all go to lunch ever since. We meet every Monday morning and the subject always comes up. [...]

I didn’t used to like chocolate. At all.
yup.
You heard me right. I didn’t like chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk, chocolate bunnies at Easter or little chocolate pumpkins at Halloween. I’d trade them for caramels, or those bit-o-honey things, or an orange, or even Brazil nuts. Can you imagine seeing your kids on Christmas [...]

pull apart two heads of [...]

Most people hate polyester for aesthetic reasons. It’s scratchy, it doesn’t fit right, it doesn’t drape properly, it’s too hot. etc….
I hate polyester because it reminds me of a fall I once took.
I was working at Chick-fil-A. A fantastic company that really does make good food and treats their employees pretty well……with one exception.
Right up [...]

okay. I don’t know why, but I occasionally get a real hankering for salmon. I don’t like fishy fish though, so I’m pretty specific about it.
1. it HAS to come from Whole Foods. first off, they have the best salmon ever. Secondly, they will skin it for me which helps [...]

I have a whole bunch of conflicting and conflicted emotions running around in my head this afternoon, so I’m just going to stick with the subject of mushrooms ’cause if I didn’t I’d be rambling on all day.
This weekend I cooked a HUGE pot of beef stroganoff. I love mushrooms, so if I had to [...]
