Cartoonist is going to APE

Sorry, once again, for a week without writing, but we have been getting ready for APE (Alternative Press Expo) in San Francisco, this weekend, and so, I have not even been cooking, but making quick stir fries, or eating popcorn, or, as we did last night, eating Indian food. We will make cookies to give […]

Making veggies for breakfast

So, what do you eat for breakfast when you are trying to go off eggs? For me, I have been having eggs for the longest time for breakfast, in all different forms, but eggs just the same. So, it was a bit of a jolt to consider something else.  For a while, I used to […]

But I wanna make donuts

All last week, Cartoonist kept bugging me to make donuts. I was still working with the ratatouille, and wanted to make that, or the naan, or the muffins,and saw no reason to make donuts. It wasn’t something that we eat that often, so it wouldn’t be something were trying to replace. But Cartoonist wasn’t thinking […]

When to put stuff in the compost

No, I am not actually going to give you a lecture about not putting bones and meat into the compost, rather I am talking about when your food is such a failure that you really are not going to eat it, nor is Cartoonist going to eat it, or your friends. That was the conclusion […]

Raspberry muffins, didn’t work

Making Indian Ratatouille

I don’t always manage to cook all the veggies I get in my basket from my CSA before the next week comes about. This week, I was bound and determined to do so. I looked at what I had, and found a recipe that would work, and spend the day, every time I went into […]

Sometimes you have to buy lunch

Cartoonist went to school today with money, instead of food.  Yesterday, she did take her lunch, but didn’t have the lunch bag that I knitted her, and her little boxes spilled all over the floor of the car. I’m going to have to take it to the carwash to get the rice pudding picked up. […]

Ants in the kitchen

Sorry, I have been sick, so haven’t been cooking, or writing about it. At least, without cooking, the ants have decreased a bit. I promise to resume tomorrow. I am hoping to have the energy to write and cook by then. The ants that remain, seem to be going for mundane stuff, such as left […]

Too much deviation, another apple cake

On of the first things Cartoonist and I wanted to do was to bake something from the Savor cook book, which we had picked up on the cruise. We looked and looked, remembering how things tasted, and decided ont he Low-Fat Apple cake. We didn’t have the ingredients for the Coulis sauce, nor for the […]
