gyoza night

Posted in general on October 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »

It’s a tale as old as time itself: Girl finds vegetable gyoza in the freezer section. Girl gets her hopes up. Girl scans ingredients only to stumble upon “pork fat” or some other such bullroar. Girl says to herself and anyone within whiny muttering distance, “I’ll never have gyoza.” But oh, my friends, we have [...]

my own laziness disgusts me

Posted in quick fix, tagged , on October 26, 2008 | 3 Comments »

I don’t believe in eating bad-for-me things that don’t taste worth it. If a snacky treat is subpar, why put the fat and calories in my body? If it makes me talk about how awesome it is while I’m still chewing, however, I don’t care how much oil or sugar or caffeine is in it. [...]

Not about food at all today (although I may have something later), I bring you the Keep-A-Breast auction. Artists have their way with plaster casts of both men and women, then they sell ‘em for charity so maybe not so many of us have to die of breast cancer. Here’s a win-win-win situation if there [...]

(Dramatic late-night photography…I know, it looks like I snuck up on them in some sea cave.) I love biscuits. Always have; probably always will. In CB4, where they’re all sitting around eating “big-ass biscuits,” with the big-ass pat o’ butter, I was absolutely frozen with biscuit envy. Flaky biscuits, hockey-puck biscuits, super-processed Crescent rolls (yup, they’re [...]

I haven’t had an autumn in four years. I forgot about it. Red trees, a hot mug o’ spiced cider—the stuff that goes along with the pumpkin bins outside of grocery stores. And I’m already appreciating it for what I will miss come winter. I might need to invest in light therapy. I can already [...]

what a week

Posted in eatin' out/in, general, tagged , , on October 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Well, my parents are safe and sound back in Chicago after a weeklong visit. (I assume this because I read no news of a horrible plane crash—not that I got a “We just landed safely” call <ahem>.) Tom and I couldn’t take any time off work so they managed to keep themselves busy, given the city and [...]

time

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged , on October 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »

It was a very stressful week at work, the election’s coming up, and my parents just got in from Chicago yesterday, so I’ve been stretched a bit thin (as tends to happen to—ugh—grown-ups). But yesterday morning, I took some time out to stop and smell the muffins. I know I’ve written about Sweatpea—and even their marionberry muffin—before, [...]
