Colcannon
I made colcannon just now. Mashed potatoes and kale.
I didn't have any onion or shallots, and I burned the garlic I wanted to add, so I added a garlic-wine (mostly salt) spice mix I stole from The Melting Pot a while back.
I love mashed potatoes. And I love leafy green veggies. This is awesome.
And so easy. I don't understand why people buy mashed ( Read more... ) -

On Thursday I had two interviews for jobs that I don't actually want at all. It was excellent interview experience though (one of them especially had quite thoughtful questions). But ultimately, I feel like I wasted the whole day driving around DC and VA. And then watched missed episodes of America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, and House ( Read more... ) -

David is coming with me. -

Working on a Farm and Picking Veggies
This morning Holly (the other nutrition teacher and recent RD) and I volunteered at a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm in Upper Marlboro. It was a 40 minute drive, but well worth it. The work was hard, but again, totally worth it ( Read more... )
