Wow, how did it get to be Friday already?

Since posting about food is the easiest, and since I'm convinced you all want to hear about the dinner I just made, I present:

Fasting Tuna Patties!

I would post on whatwecook , but I really don't know what I did exactly. Maybe I should anyway?

(Explanation of the the fasting thing: usually during Orthodox fasts, we ( Read more... )

On a mundane note.... I have been kind of out of the cooking swing for a few days, it feels like. I made clam-red pepper-mushroom pasta over the weekend though, and today I made soup. It is very good soup. Mushroom broth, plus water with some veggie bouillon, and greens, black eyed peas, zucchini/yellow squash, and orzo. Plus onions and carrots. ( Read more... )

Can someone tell me in what circumstances it makes a difference whether I used dutch-processed or regular processed cocoa powder? I can also never remember which is which, but that I can look up. If I'm going to buy one for general use, do I want one or the other specifically?

I like it when my hair smells like incense.

Sigh. I am not good at telling when chickens are done roasting without a thermometer. I can't find my meat thermometer. I have a candy thermometer, but I am skeptical about its usefulness. I am pretty sure it will be done here. At some point. And maybe I won't kill it dead.

Greetings, everyone. I think I shall update this evening. But what to say? I am not sure. Life. What is going on? Not a whole lot, really. I need to start researching grad school stuff more. Even if I'm probably not going to do it.

I didn't do much over the weekend. I went to church on Saturday night and then went to some friends' house and played ( Read more... )

Покупать книги, а не прочитать.
Читать, а душеполезный смысл не осознать.

Думаю, что у многих из нас есть такие искушения. Знаю, что у меня есть. :)

И вот даже если мне просто хочется знания приобрести, от рассеянности... от ленности... может тоже от занятости, не успеваю. В настоящее время, как написала по-английски, я недавно придумала учиться в ( Read more... )

I was having friends over for dinner tonight. Except they couldn't come because their child was sick. And I didn't know this until dinner was ready. So I made lots of food. (Don't worry, you guys, if you're reading, I'm not upset! But I do want to see you. And you can just see what you missed from this post). And it was all really good. My roommate ( Read more... )

On Friday night I made the pumpkin cheesecake from http://www.joyofbaking.com. Wow.  Yum!! I was going to bring it to our church bazaar, which was this weekend, but it didn't turn out pretty enough to be sold for $2 a slice. I thought I'd bring it to work, but between my roommate and I, ( Read more... )

Has anyone on my friendslist seen/used this website? http://www.joyofbaking.com/ I spent way too long reading it--it looks like it might have good recipes. The descriptions certainly sound good. I've got a bunch of thing I want to try now ( Read more... )
