waffley cakes

On August 18, 2010 By

We are a pancake house- primarily because we’re lazy. Waffle irons are hard to clean and I always seem to end up either tearing them or burning them. Yet, the allure of the waffle still remains. Those little indentations to catch syrup and a crisp edge… yum.

Imagine my extreme happiness upon seeing this pan, […]

scramble it up!

On July 5, 2010 By

I go through food phases. Don’t we all?

My main food phases all revolve around tofu. Ha! I bet you thought I’d say chocolate. Nope, good ol’ white and pasty tofu. I swear, I just can’t get enough.

Primarily, I tend to fall in and out of love with tofu ricotta. Well, never […]

soup in juneuary

On June 2, 2010 By

A few weeks ago, we Portlanders were prematurely visited by summer. It was warm and sunny and glorious. Now our days are dark, we are experiencing biblical rain and we have lapsed back into muddy winter weather.

I have tasted the fruits of summer and I am not a happy camper.

Alas, given that […]

Happy New Year!

Did you celebrate the New Year in any special way? Dinner, family, friends? Jim and I were feeling a little under the weather (sadly a New Year’s tradition with one of us, usually) so we laid low and watch reruns of Seinfeld on my laptop. So exciting. 🙂

As cliched as it […]

nutty, seedy goodness

On November 8, 2009 By

now bite your tongue and say “apple”

On October 30, 2009 By

Remember doing that as a kid? The stupid things we did to try and get people to curse… so goofy. And it doesn’t even sound right.

I promise this post will be more productive than sad attempts at swearing and the effects better than that of biting your tongue. Ouch.

Apple Pie Butter, […]

pumpkin in my pancakes, told a tale on you

On October 28, 2009 By

I’m kind of classic when it comes to eating fruit butters- slathered on a chunk of bread or warm toast is all I need to feel bliss. But that was a very large amount of pumpkin butter to make, regardless of how much I love Dave’s Killer Bread.

Enter my favorite meal of the day: […]

bachelor living with Edgar

On October 7, 2009 By

Okay, so in the last post I mentioned that I’m not much of a girly-girl. And now here is more evidence to the contrary.

Jim was out of town last weekend and it made me think of a scene from an episode Sex and the City (yes, I’m a huge SATC fan) where Carrie […]
