Last night, Josh and a couple friends of ours ventured out into the streets of Canton to experiment with something new and fantastic to us: Indian street food. In Canton? Yeah, I know, right? Now, Indian food is not new to us…I looooove Indian food. And I’m blessed that there’s a few good Indian places [...]

Nobody gets left behind: leftovers
What I do with leftovers: From the milk-roasted chicken on Sunday, I had two bone-in chicken breasts left over. What to do with them? Hm. Think. Think Think Think. Well, I also had some Spanish chorizo I picked up at Eastern Market on Saturday as well. Chorizo is a spicy, smoked pork sausage that comes [...]
brownies. that’s about all i need to say.
I had difficulty committing to Brownies. Not the delicious, gooey, chocolatey dessert. But the group–you know, kind of like kindergarten for Girl Scouts. I joined Brownies three times in elementary school. And I quit Brownies early three times. It wasn’t that I didn’t like the group. A lot of my friends were in it, and [...]
Got Milk?
It was a pretty fantastic weekend all around on my end. Headed out to Detroit’s Eastern Market again on Saturday, which you know I love, and spent the afternoon making leek onion rings and bbq beef sandwiches. And today, Josh and I spent an hour learning how to make pasta carbonara and a pappardelle dish [...]
Leek Onion Rings
Looking for something to do with the leeks from your farm share? Already tried the uber-delicious French leek gratin? Looking for something casual to eat alongside that BBQ beef sandwich? How about onion rings? Well I guess that’s leek rings. I tried them tonight (alongside a bbq beef sandwich), adapting a recipe from Alton Brown. [...]

Tirami-sumofdat chocolate tiramisu
So awhile ago I got another email from the POM Wonderful people asking if I’d like to try out their new line of POMx iced coffees. Um, of course I would. Not because I drink coffee. Because I don’t. Which is odd because I’m pretty sure my office is about this (–) close to digging [...]
Farm Share Goodies, October 6: Our Man Jack is King of the Pumpkin Patch
I have a pumpkin. I have named him Jack. Jack the Pumpkin King. This has everything to do with my obsession with the Nightmare Before Christmas and absolutely nothing to do with anything normal. Jack and I met this afternoon. I had just hefted the box containing our second-to-last (how sad!) farm share goodies onto [...]
There’s a Wocket in My Pizza Pocket
You know, I tried really hard to think of a witty lead in for this blog post, but I’ve got nothing. I blame it on Monday. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow. [Edit: Thankfully, Sophia saved me with a hilarious new title that you can read above.] But anyway, tonight we made calzones. Partly out [...]
