I received a call this morning from a telemarketer. Interestingly, we’re on the do-not-call registry, but evidently these folks have found a way around the law. Would this have irritated anyone else or am I crazy? And in case you’re wondering why I didn’t hang up immediately it’s because I couldn’t believe this guy said what he did. [...]

I was popping a tray of cheesy toast (that’s simply bread toasted under the broiler, topped with cheese and then broiled again until the cheese is bubbly and brown in bits) under the broiler and was thinking how everyone has weird food loves that you wouldn’t serve to anyone but yourself and any family who shares [...] I am in the middle of a protracted battle for space with the gargantuan zucchini that keep miraculously popping up in my garden. After last night’s garden veggie (read: zucchini) and quinoa stew, I was feeling out of ideas. Then I thought, “Why do I need to come up with ideas? I can fall back on [...] My sister Jessamine’s kids have severe food allergies. The last time I had a peek at the list of no-no foods it included soy, corn, dairy, gluten, wheat, chemical preservatives and chemical dyes, among other things.

And so, in the spirit of playing ‘the ant’ to any food preservation grasshoppers out there…
It’s garlic season! Yippee! Golden Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread with a natural companion; butter!
I have previously mentioned my bias against toaster ovens. This week my baking ignitor in my oven went right during the most gorgeous stretch of fall-like summer weather. My husband, the Evil Genius, inexplicably has a love of toaster ovens and has been [...] Alright. This is going to be a pure, unadulterated nerd moment.

The Evil Genius and I were joking about which positions in the Napoleonic Era Royal British Navy the various officers in ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ and the original ‘Star Trek’ would’ve occupied. Obviously [...] After my manic run to the grocery store in town to pick up fly strips yesterday and hanging five of them up in strategic and not-so-strategic places, the thus-far triumphant tally looks like this:
Rebecca: 37 Flies: 5 (including one really irritating specimen that keeps buzzing my head.)
Holy cow. *Ohmygoodness. I had that many flies? [...] I have now officially declared war on the burgeoning fly population in my home. I had all I could take when a flock of fruit flies and whatever-you-call-normal-house-flies (can fruit flies flock?) decided to repeatedly dive-bomb my slice of cheesecake that I snuck out of the freezer. Oh NO you DON’T mess with this lady’s cheesecake!
I ran [...] |
