Back with the living.
To all those still rattling around livejournal, I am happy to report that I still live, and hope that the same can be said for all of you as well ( Read more... ) -
The heartache of job hunts
I have a coworker - a sweet, sweet guy who is truly good at what he does and who I respect more than anything - who has a nasty habit of saying the exact worst thing to me. He swings by my tiny little work station in the room with the freezer for processing new collections, and my blood pressure instantly rises. I know he's just trying to make ( Read more... ) -
Only the second V-D Day I've ever enjoyed.
Going over to C's tonight to make tacos for Valentine's Day! Tacos because...because why not, damnit? I've been craving tacos. And we're drinking champagne too, because we have some on hand and why the hell not, again? The hard part is going to be the shells: I do not like soft-shell tacos, but (in an attempt to get back into making healthier food ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Cooking has fallen by the wayside the last couple of weeks, now that I've started another part-time job. I hope it helps. I'm a little freaked our over finances (again), feeling bad about relying so much on Chris (again), sad over rejected job applications (again ( Read more... ) -
Worthy of the Buth
I'm baaaaaaack!Today was another epic cooking day for me, in which I plowed through not one, but three (THREE!!!) recipes using leftovers. Today I was working with rice paper, spiral cut ham (with the bone), frozen spinach, and applesauce. Since I made the other two recipes for later in the week, I'll wait to share those until I can give a verdict ( Read more... ) -
Of colds and apples
Today I am home sick with a cold. This meant a lot of lounging around, listening to podcasts, and gagging down disgusting zinc “melt-aways.” I’ve never stopped being angry that, even as an adult, I still have to take gross medicine.
( So I consoled myself with baking, naturally! ) -
Bonus recipe: JAMBALAYA!
I almost forgot that I'd made another leftovers-based recipe over the weekend! Chris and I tend to cook at least once a week. It's usually a joint effort; he's an excellent cook in his own right, and there I things I just can't do that I need him for. In general, though, I just take over the kitchen like the tornado that I am. It's not some 1950s ( Read more... ) -
Tortilla soup on the fly

Leftover salad quiche
What madness is this? Am I really updating two days in a row? Shocking, I say. My experiment to record my cooking exploits appears to be working ( Read more... ) -
At the close of 2012
Welp, here we are. Another year gone, in which I only managed to make a grand total of five posts including this one! I'm afraid there just hasn't been much to say in the last few months: I'm still trucking along, still working at my one-true-love the Burke museum, still in a relationship with my best friend, still stressing out over careers and ( Read more... )
