episode 2: pierogi!

On May 31, 2009 By

Wel­come to Episode 2 of the nom! nom! nom! blog cook­ing show! In this episode Jim and I pay homage to our home­lands and make our favorite starch-filled treat– pierogi! Here’s a lit­tle gram­mat­i­cal side note: the word pierogi is the plural, the sin­gu­lar is actu­ally pierog.

Potato-filled pierogi is about as clas­sic as […]

That’s quite the claim, I know. But I swear I can back it up.

We are putting the fin­ish­ing touches on episode 2. I hope to have it up by tomor­row night, so stay tuned for that. It will be actual doc­u­men­ta­tion that I do cre­ate food that is not baked. No body dou­bles, I swear. […]

dinner in a flash

On May 18, 2009 By

Okay, so I promise no posts with straw­ber­ries for awhile.

We are gath­ered here today to cel­e­brate the quick meal. The effort­less menu you can lean on after a long day at work. The din­ner you can throw together in a flash, espe­cially if you’ve planned and have some choice ingre­di­ents ready to go. […]

a new frontier…

On May 10, 2009 By

Jim and I have been work­ing on a new project to expand nom! nom! nom! into some­thing more. Jim is very skilled with film and media and for a cou­ple of years we have been […]

I always thought I was a pie-hater.

Seri­ously.

Despite my rag­ing sweet tooth, I would have rather gone dessert­less than have eaten pie. On the chance that I did have to eat, so as not to offend, I would eat the fill­ing and maybe the top crust, if there was one. I just couldn’t get […]

There is food being cooked! I haven’t had much to post lately because, frankly, we’ve been eat­ing ter­ri­bly bor­ing food. But I’ve been try­ing to mix it up a lit­tle bit, plus bring back some classics.

Ooh, sur­prise, sur­prise, quinoa! I never could have guessed! Well, I never said it would be thrilling. I […]

Mmmm… break­fast. Have I men­tioned how much I love break­fast yet?

Thanks to the waf­fle cart in North Port­land, Flavour Spot, I fell in love with maple but­ter and veg­gie sausage waf­fle sand­wiches a few years ago. But I’m too lazy to make waf­fles, so we sling pan­cakes on the grid­dle and call […]
