I made them dinner as they worked hard to hang blinds and photos.Fettuccine and Scallops with Zucchini, Summer Squash, Cherry Tomatoes in a White [...]
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 [...]
I did not sleep last night. This is a picture of my innocent sleepy eyed Truffle. She played all evening and was finally drawing tired. I was sitting on the couch below this ledge watching television and catching up on blogs. My sweet, little, trusty companion wanted to be near me. She likes to sleep [...]

Among other things purchased by my parents, my small stash included: fava beans, cherries, Pecan Cinnamon [...]
I hate to pull a fast one on all of you, however; I did not eat the Orange-Ginger Siggi’s I posted about last night. Long story short, I finished the fruit salad and as I was about to hit post and open my Siggi’s, a PhD student from Uzbekistan sat down at my table and [...]
