salad rolls

Posted in recipes, tagged on September 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Summer rolls, freshy rolls, salad rolls…li’l pockets of awesome is what they are. Before tonight I’d never tried to make them myself, only ordered them off appetizer menus in place of a meal. I’ll have to do it more often. Lots of steps, but theyre all easy ones. What’s in ‘em? layer 1: mint and [...]

more parsley than you can shake a really big sprig of parsley at

Posted in eatin' out/in on September 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Michele ate her first Lebanese meal today. From a place with a name that’s really fun to say: Ya Hala. It’s a bit of a drive (like, five minutes), over at 80th & Stark, but it’s on our way home from Target and probably doable by bike. I didn’t feel like cooking, since we’re having a [...]

tabbouleh

Well, that’s how Whole Foods spells it. And a lot of other people too. I’ve seen it as tabouli too, and I prefer it. So from here on out, that’s how I’m spelling it. Tabouli. Yeah. I can’t believe I’ve never tried this mess of a mess before. I picked up some for lunch and [...]

banana bread with hempseed and chocolate chips

Posted in recipes on September 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

You gotta give it up to the banana for being able to make you smile by rotting. (I was going to say “only” fruit, but I guess if you’re in prison or something, trying to make toilet wine…) When I see a darkening, softening, not-really-good-for-eating-anymore-ing banana, I can’t help but get excited about banana bread.

beware

If you see this can of coffee, think twice before picking it up, unless you sleep on a mattress filled with money. Tom usually combines three types of coffee (different roasts) with cocoa nibs and cassia chips for a lovely, full-bodied brew. This weekend, his normal medium-roast wasn’t at Trader Joe’s. I pointed this one [...]

be nice to me–i’m magic

You might not know it, but you’re going to have to trust me, I’m in no way a lying sack of crap. I have nothing to gain by stretching my perceived reality to impress you. I only mention this because I’m about to say something that might shake the very foundation of your being. I [...]

relax, everything is great

Posted in general on September 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »

  Oh, I know you guys are way too smart to fall for that. You’re a bright, conscious, aware-of-the-world-around-you bunch. And you’d have to have a really long cord to reach under that rock you’re living under if you’re not aware of the upcoming election. I am not telling you whom you should vote for—you [...]

So I made it back to the farmers market today and picked up a bunch of chocolate panini. They’re from Pearl Bakery, which I’m sort of in love with based on this hunk of cocoa bread and a super-informative website. They get marks for recycling, composting, and ingredient sourcing from sustainable, fair-trade, and organic-when-possible suppliers. The [...]

it does a tummy good

Posted in general on September 9, 2008 | 1 Comment »

You might remember a bit ago when I mentioned a care package I’d sent to my mother in an attempt to keep her from puking up all her food. Well, she’s tried out some of the stuff—and a recipe too—and it appears common sense rules; the non-animal proteins are much easier on her system. She made some tempeh [...]

guess where i’m having lunch next wednesday

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged on September 3, 2008 | 5 Comments »

My new coworkers have just made Wednesdays a little sweeter—they told me about the farmers market less than two blocks from my office! I picked up a big ol’ bag of plums for $3 and a chocolate panini for…um…some other amount of money that didn’t make me go “Damn!” I’ll find out which bakery it is next [...]
