It’s well known amongst my friends and family and, well, roommates, that I, in general, abhor bananas. I walk into a room, ask “Who the hell at the banana?!”, and the poor potassium-loving soul meekly steps up. “I did.. but it was 12 hours ago! And I threw the peel in the trash outside!” That’s [...]

So nice they named it twice.
It can be said that I typically like pretentious, exotic, and generally complicated food. And then there’s this recipe. How many ingredients? Three. THREE, PEOPLE!

This pesto is the best…o… Ugh!
I just couldn’t help myself. But seriously, this pesto is amazing. It’s a non-traditional pesto, and so I’m not totally sure what “pesto” means, if there can be so many variations. Either way, a friend of mine bought a tub of lemon artichoke pesto a couple years ago–I’m sure it cost about eight bucks–and after [...]

Stock Options.
There’s something about a big pot of homemade chicken stock simmering away on the stove that’s just so darn.. awesome. And comforting, too, of course. I thrill myself by being thrifty–carving away on that chicken, saving the bits of meat for, oh, I don’t know, soup or enchiladas tomorrow, throwing in old carrots and onions, [...]

Cuz you don’t “knead” to knead! Ba dum chhh.. And ham and butter!
Let’s face it. Generic American grocery stores simply can’t do French bread. The utterance of this simple realization led the friend on the phone to tell me to “love it or leave it”. Hey now, I’m not shifting allegiance, just stating a fairly self-obvious fact! OK, yeah, you can make it. I can make it. [...]

And now, some cognates.
All together, now, grab that cigarette* and glass of wine, smear on a thick French accent and say it with me: Sah-lahd pah-ree-zee-ehn! Mmm, fancy blog. Back to things that make sense, I was craving a “salade parisienne” earlier today, which proved to be quite the obstacle to focusing on bidding for public interest jobs [...]

Welcome back, Blogger!
Sometimes people say that law school is hard. And takes up a lot of your time. They’re right. Dear devoted readers and fans, I’m back. I know, I know; what I did was wrong. I should never have abandoned you in such a manner, ditching you for intimate nights alone with my copy of the [...]

Homemade peaches and cream milk: Sugar and spice and everything nice.
That’s what I’m made of. Seriously, could I be a better girl? Would it be humanly possible? OK, so all I did was try and recreate some of the boything’s favorite milk, Promised Land Peaches and Cream. Why not just save yourself all that time and grueling, grueling effort and just buy some, you ask? [...]

The Queen’s Poisoned Apple.. in muffin form!
Somehow, the first day of 1L Orientation coordinated with a box of a dozen fancy muffins arriving from the boyfriend’s “evil stepmonster”, as she so wishes to be called (What is it with mothers wanting to be called anything but.. mothers? Sorry, Mom.. I mean, uh.. dining partner..), and I was reminded of the little [...]

Step by step, bit by bit, stone by stone, brick by brick.. your way to salsa!
So, my second post ever was about my favorite salsa. It’s ridiculously simple, and today I’m going to prove it. I made another batch with pictures of each of the steps. So. Ridiculously. Simple. First, you’re gonna need about this much cilantro, the bit on the left. You can add more if you really like [...]
