OK, I admit I’d eat almost anything if wrapped in a sheet of nori, but I do tend to steer clear of California rolls. I’m offended by the fake crab-like substance, and really, why is it called a California roll anyway (I think it is actually because there is avocado in it)? But strangely enough, […]
For me, it had to have been the fried egg that accompanied my banana chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast this morning. There’s just something about an over-easy egg that comforts me. Is the fact that I am eating a healthy protein? Is it the bright contrast of the whites and the school-bus-yellow yolks? I think […]
I never have blueberry pancakes. It’s not that I don’t like them, I do. It’s just that when I get up in the morning I’m usually rushing around so I just grab a cup of tea. I know, I know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yada, yada, yada. But taking the […]
I returned to work after a week’s vacation yesterday … and returned home at 11:20 p.m. Neither the cafeteria’s pedestrian offerings (yawn!) nor the too-rich restaurant food on SeamlessWeb appealed when suppertime rolled around tonight. So I had a snack and resolved to cook when I came home. After a week of eating lots of […]
As part of my goal to both widen the array of what I eat and have material to provide to this site, I tested out a random dish for dinner. It was actually my boyfriend, Luke, who gave me the challenge that led to this specific dish. We were in the grocery store and he […]
I love orange juice. I really, really love it. Generally speaking, it is the only beverage that I keep in my house that is not water or alcohol. That includes milk, by the way, which I despise, but that’s fodder for another post altogether. Like many OJ drinkers, I am a brand loyalist. I’ve never […]
In thinking of a contribution to a series of posts for Valentine’s Day for CliqueClack food, I wanted to stay away from the usual ‘chocolate and flowers’ type of post. But since Valentine’s Day is all about giving something sweet and romantic to a loved one, I thought I should stay in the candy territory. […]
Weekend breakfasts are special. It’s a gift to have that extra time to make something out-of-the-ordinary, something exquisitely yummy that you can’t indulge in during the busy week’s schedule. Owen’s favorite is pancakes, particularly banana pancakes with chocolate chip smiley faces. Yeah, he’s four and damn cute. Me? I get a little tired of pancakes […]
I have a weird relationship with pistachios. Not weird in the sense that we’ve been dating for years and pistachios are pressuring me to get married, but weird in the sense that I can’t stop eating them once I start. Now, this is probably true with a lot of people when it comes to nuts […]
I love eggs. Sadly, I can’t cook an over-easy egg to save my life! So unless someone makes the eggs for me, I don’t eat them as I can’t make them. Some people tell me I can’t cook my eggs the way I want to because I don’t have the right pan and spatula. Others […]
