Not much to say today

Hi guys,

I’m a bit out of it today, and so I don’t really think I’ll get a full recipe entry up today. I did manage to cook dinner from a cookbook, though, so that’s exciting. Pumpkin tureen soup! Hooray!

I’ll get back on track tomorrow, promise. With tonight’s recipe we have about six queued recipes, and more to come. Tomorrow we’ll be eating dinner out (though we don’t know what yet), as we’re having a cheap date at a local place for a champagne tasting. The timing is such that we can’t get home for dinner, then go out for the tasting. So, that’s exciting.

Since I am do feel bad about not giving you a recipe tonight, lemme tell you what’s on this week’s menu (through Monday).… Continue reading →

Amazingly, it feels very fancy. Thin wheat crackers, semi-soft cheese (just those Laughing Cow “Babel” rounds), prosciutto, and an orzo, spinach, feta & olive salad. Plus, I had picked up a bottle of sparkling white jasmine tea.

So lovely, and nice for the two of us to share!… Continue reading →

Still moving, but a little look into our non-food lives

I just want to say that for a couple who doesn’t own a car, we have a ridiculous number of tie-downs.

I haven’t owned a car since early roughly April of 2007. Bill has owned a car much more recently, having just sold his to our friend Steve last month. That said, he hasn’t really had _access_ to his car since he moved to Chicago in late 2009. The car decided to stay in New Mexico until it could find a new owner that didn’t live in the frozen north.

You are probably thinking, then, that the tie-downs are just a remnant of Bill’s car-owning life. After all, it has been less than a year since he was a regular driver (and of a station wagon with a luggage rack, at that).… Continue reading →
