Heavenly Green Pasta
I wasn’t planning on posting today. Mostly because I figured I’d be having something boring and typical for dinner… until I saw this on Pinch My Salt. Farfalle with PISTACHIO CREAM SAUCE.
GET OUT OF FRIGGING TOWN! Pistachios… and cream?! Who is this and how does (s)he know my inner most desires? This was too good to be so easy. Great for a dinner-for-one but impressive...

Bananananananananana!
I like bananas.
I do. But darn it, they just don’t last long enough. For someone like me, who enjoys them just barely ripe (still somewhat hard, green, and tangy, preferably), they have a shelf life of about 1-2 days. After that, once they get sickly sweet and brown… we just do not get along. It reminds me of having to eat the brown spots on my bananas as a kid. I know… can you...

Boyfriend Woo'ing 101
Today’s entry is for the ladies or gentlemen who have partners with refined palates (read: kinda/sorta/maybe a little picky. But don’t tell them that….they don’t like knowing they’re picky). The one who cringes at the thought of a Brussels sprout, a dash of hot sauce, or a pinch of curry powder. And who rolls their eyes at the thought of souffle of this, or sous-vide...

On Being Invited to a Dinner Party...
A great post from a great blog! Save yourself the red-face when attending a formal dinner party. Read on, friends.
modernhussy:
“The good guest is almost invisible, enjoying him or herself, communing with fellow guests, and, most of all, enjoying the generous hospitality of the hosts” I have been thinking more and more about dinner parties. I like to entertain, but cooking is how I show my...

Pickled Pink!
Happy Tuesday! I thought I’d share a quickie recipe for pickled radishes I came across on The Kitchn (If you’re not already an avid reader of The Kitchn, take one look and I promise you’ll be an instant fan!). It took me 5 minutes to put together and after sitting for 3 days (though you could probably eat them happily after one) they’ll be all pretty, pink and ready to plop...

Fancy a Dip?
Against all our better judgement, we returned home from Erinsville yesterday after a perfect long weekend of swimming, sunning, eating, and drinking. It’s odd how a relaxing weekend can be exausting to come back from. The simplest tasks are beyond me today. And yet somehow we still managed to get 6 loads of laundry done. Yes, 6. You read correct. But making dinner last night? Ha. I think...
