I Love Cornbread and Beans

Written by Nora on September 6, 2010 — 6 Comments

I have not lived. Dinner was ridiculously simple and delicious: Slow Cooked Boston Baked Beans; Homemade Skillet Cornbread; Kale Sauteed in Olive Oil, Garlic and Lemon topped with Cherry Tomatoes and Grated Parmesan Cheese; and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Photos first, then words. This knocked my socks off. Er…well flip flops. Sandal season is [...]

Have It Your Way

Written by Nora on September 2, 2010 — 1 Comment

No, I’m not talking about Burger King. I’m talking about my favorite part about cooking and food: you can always make things exactly the way you like them. There is no real rhyme or reason to cooking, just preference. For breakfast this morning I was feeling a little cool, crunchy, chocolaty and sweet. I made [...]

We are surviving the move. Well, at least Truffle has been having a blast. She plays in the jungle of boxes and bags and then promptly falls asleep.She’s the same size as my candle! Yesterday, my parents met me around noon and we got down to business. By 9pm everything was out of my old [...]

Frosting and a Non-Soggy Sandwich

Written by Nora on August 24, 2010 — 5 Comments

While the kitten slept last night, I was wide awake. I felt like a new mom. I was terrified that something was going to happen as soon as I shut my eyes. I also wanted to get a few things out of the way so that when she is awake I can devote all of [...]
