I have a problem hoarding dried goods. If rice or beans or flour is on sale? I’ll come home with a fifty pound bag. I have bags upon bags upon buckets of dried goods. I might be set in case of economic collapse or the […]
It’s false spring. It’s 50 degrees. There are sunny skies. I left my jacket in the car three days ago never went back out to get it. But it’s supposed to drop 40 degrees and snow 3-6 inches by Thursday. Which I’m delighted about because […]
As much as I like Tofu Stir Fry, I’ve never been entirely sure whether or not I need a wok. I technically do own one. I sort of inherited it. Although it’s Teflon, so I’ve never used it. I’m not entirely opposed to Teflon. My […]
I’ve been craving curry for a little while, now. Winter is finally starting to rear its head. And there’s nothing I want more when it’s snowing than a nice, warm, curry simmering on the stove for eight hours. You can simmer for about 2 hours, […]
