It’s 90 degrees and I decide to make soup š but whatever. I am doing he uber frugal month through Frugalwoods and since our pantry is packed and we need to correct our grocery spending I wanted to use up what we have. Hence cauliflower soup. This recipe is easy and I didn’t do anything … [Read more…]
So it’s been a while. I’ve been writing with a <gasp> pen in my <double gasp> paper journal and largely ignoring the inter webs, or, at least, my blog. I changed the name of my Facebook page and have had sincere intentions to get back here to tell about it and to somehow link this … [Read more…]
I keep reading about not only letting go of material things to make way for experiences, joy, etc., but also about letting go of old habits or thoughts or attitudes. Each time I’d read it I thought that sounded kind of fluffy and, well, weird. Good grief, don’t make me “get in touch with myself.” … [Read more…]
Frittatas are the new black. Seriously the easiest and probably cheapest meal you can make. Really. Don’t know how to cook? Start with a frittata. Bonus is that it also sounds cool that you can make one. Directions: Get a pan. Preferably nonstick that can go in the oven. I use a seasoned cast iron … [Read more…]
Do you go to Five Guys? That mecca of bacon burgers and natural cut fries? I love it although my gut begs to differ. It happens to be one of the few “fast” food restaurants I am willing to go to because everything is gluten free except the buns and when you tell them you … [Read more…]
It’s “Parade Weekend” in Binghamton.

Yesterday we had our traditional corned beef with cabbage, carrots and potatoes. We didn’t add Guinness since … [Read more…]
I am officially entering week 4 of being sick. It’s so wonderful. It started the night before I began my new job with a tickle in my throat and sneezing. It has turned into a weeks long battle with my sinuses. Two antibiotics later I think I am starting to turn around. On Thursday I … [Read more…]
Today is Fat Tuesday. It’s the last night before the season of Lent and the time when debauchery is to be found in the middle of the street in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Even the church recognizes this night and mine “celebrates” with a pancake supper and a ceremonial burning of the ashes to … [Read more…]
Oh my. This is sooooo good! This is how I cook: I have some stuff on hand, I throw it together and cook it. I usually don’t use recipes. This was an on the fly idea tonight because I had pork cutlets but didn’t want to go though the mess of frying them up and … [Read more…]
Yeah, that’s a bit cheeky but hey, why not? I am in love with matcha green tea. I first tried it at Wegmans coffee bar as a hot latte. It’s kind of green tasting but adding a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg made it delicious, like a green version of chai. Then I bought some … [Read more…]
