Sorry for the late post, but:
I figured I’d spare you an entire post about peaches again. I know, I’m too good to you. No need to thank me. Lucky for you, my peach supply has run dry (Mom! Help!) and so I’ll have to be more creative tomorrow. And by creative, I mean eat a [...]

…except it took me about 45 minutes to make. I’m slow. I also get flustered easily and tend to lose potholders and then find them ten minutes later on the bed or in the oven.
But the point here is chickpea cutlets with baked french fries:
I didn’t eat the bun, which was really a whole wheat [...]

No surprise here:
I had seven, because I had three earlier and that makes ten, which sounded like a nice, round number to me.

I was a little nervous because the recipe called for more salt than I’ve ever used in my life, and also because I cut [...]

This was good.
So you marinate about eight ounces of shrimp like so. I used my food processor to make the marinade because I’m fancy like that and also I like making more dishes for Chris to wash.

1 bell pepper
3 scallions

Best. Show. Ever. Jim and Pam make my heart flutter.
Anyway. Tonight’s dinner was so good, I was compelled to proclaim to Chris that I was “becoming quite the gourmet.”
Unfortunately, I really shouldn’t take the credit. Don’t get me wrong - I still will - but I actually followed this recipe from Eating Well almost exactly, [...]

I am completely exhausted from uploading these. I don’t even think I need to go to the gym tomorrow.
So I had a meeting with someone at two today and I needed to eat first, obviously, so I went to Whole Foods and got sushi and seaweed salad. Blackberry pictures, sorry, but here you [...]

I’m a little behind, sorry. I don’t celebrate Easter but I had a bunch of stuff to get done today, most of which involved walking. My toes are sore. And would you believe this?

So I ended up halving this recipe to make the swordfish, and it turned out pretty well:
Would you even believe me if I told you that I only set off the smoke detector four times making those grill marks? I know what you’re thinking - “What grill marks?” - but you have to look [...]

Barring any extenuating circumstances (such as the flu), if it’s Thursday, we’re drinking. Tonight we were also cleaning, and battled the apartment in a record-breaking 40 minutes, which means even more time for wine.
I was feeling ambitious and made crab cakes for dinner. Actually, I used to make these all the time, but Trader Joe’s [...]

Earlier today some chocolate covered raisins found their way into my hand:
I ate them.
And now, I’m drinking a glass of wine in protest of Monday.
