Oh Asian noodle soups, what would I do without you??! Others may denigrate you as salt bombs, low in nutrition, and inconvenient to eat... But I cannot count the times you have been there for me when I was sick, hungover, or just crawling to the end of a hard-ass week. Asian noodle soups 4eva!!!
One of the things I need to do today is throw out all the fresh veggies in the house. Goodbye romaine, sorry homemade salsa, I will miss you cucumber salad, adios cilantro. But I don't know what made me so sick the other day and I can't risk it.
It's funny but the first two times I was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition I reacted by doing healthier stuff. If there's a next time I plan to eat triple creme cheeses, drink bourbon, and loll around like a Hutt!!
Sheet pan shrimp boil
My husband decided to put some chorizo and some carolina reaper in the chicken chile verde!
My husband made this little platter so we could celebrate Shark Week in style! Yes that is a Washington State Ferries boat with two cups from when the MLB All star game was here, each with a vodka soda... And then the sharks are filled with a red pomegranate liqueur! I love it when he does stuff like this, he makes me laugh!
Santa Maria salsa!!
I enjoy being friends with people who can't cook, because you can make them ridiculously happy just by inviting them to family dinner and just feeding them whatever you have lying around.
Italian pot roast with carrots, rutabaga, mushrooms, and green beans over polenta
TV announcer just claimed Vancouver BC has the best pizza slice??!! Ive never particularly heard of Vancouver as a pizza capital...
Not to be mad, but I made this Indian food and my husband had to go jam with his band before eating it??!!
My husband used the exact same recipe for chicken chile verde that I always use, but his came out different! Spicier and with the meat shredded more finely. This bowl is served over a lot of frozen veggies and some refried beans.
My husband's guacamole is the simplest, but hardest to make, recipe of them all. 🥑, white 🧅, garlic powder, cilantro, and 🍋🟩.
Two people are having an argument about veganism on a thread Im on, and man that is one chat I am noping out of. I got enough problems just trying to keep myself fed without quasi-theological arguments about if it's more ethical to count SOULS or BODIES to decide what foods are the lowest harm.
Nothing like the first G&T of the summer!!!
Second time we enjoyed hot pot in the snow this winter! Well actually tonight there IS snow outside but we are eating in front of the TV while watching Paralympic sled hockey.
Gumbo z'herbes, my lunches for the week!
Planted my seedlings yesterday, it is still pretty cold here -- 40s at night! -- but they were getting a little root-bound.

Thinking of buying one of those induction hot plates because my husband REALLY loves hot pot and it would let us enjoy it without as much trouble and thus with greater frequency.
What is the best way to cook Lil Smokies for a party? Bacon wrapped, braised in grape jelly, or rolled in croissant dough?
