Brent Makes Breakfast

Although I may do most of the cooking, I would say Brent is actually more resourceful in the kitchen than I am. I think he developed this skill while cooking for himself and trying to spend as little money on groceries as possible. Plus when you eat everything, you probably don’t worry about failed experiments [...]

Green Eggs & Toast

Sorry, no ham. As I was rather fitfully drifting off into dreamland last night, a moment of genius struck — I should put a glob of pesto into my scrambled eggs tomorrow morning! Hoping I would remember my brilliance come morning, I fell asleep.
Although Brent, who has become a bit of a food snob, turned [...]

Feels Like Monday

I have no idea why, but it feels like the week has already started. I guess because Brent went into work, plus it’s super dreary outside. I’ve decided to try to be super productive today. I’m in the middle of doing laundry and making some veggie stock, and I’m hoping to get a lot more [...]

I’m Alive

I don’t have a ton of exciting things to say, mostly because I’ve taken up residency in the library. I tend to obsess about things I guess. I’ll just be happy once my exam is out of the way. I’ve cooked, but not a ton. Brent has been helping a lot too – such a [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We’re not super huge into celebrating Valentine’s Day. Well, that’s probably a lie. I’m into celebrating everything, but Brent — not so much. Our anniversary is in 2 weeks , so we celebrate that a little more. However, our Valentine’s Day tradition (except for 2007 because we got 17 inches of snow and everything [...]

Breakfast for Dinner

I’m in such a good mood! I finished my first test — and it went well! My grandmother (who had been hospitalized the past 2 weeks with a host of problems) was just released this afternoon and is back at home. Dog-walking was fun. There is a yellow lab puppy that just got [...]

Gourmet Huevos Rancheros – Living up to the Hype

I told you all I was so excited about tonight’s dinner, and you’re probably imagining all sorts of delicious, wonderfully exciting meals, so I hope you’re not disappointed when I tell you we had eggs. They were however, exciting and “gourmet” eggs.
I had seen this recipe for Gourmet Huevos Rancheros a while ago [...]

Back to School

Well tonight was quite a mix of emotions. Class was great. I love my instructor and she does an awesome job of making microbiology seems both relevant and interesting, which is no easy feat in my mind (especially for 4 straight hours!). I actually laughed a lot, which is a great sign. Tonight in lab, [...]

Breakfast for Brent

This morning, I was up and out of bed earlier than normal, getting ready for a job interview, and I actually decided to be a very nice and make breakfast for Brent, who was busy over-sleeping. Because he eats 2 eggs and 2 slices of toast every morning for breakfast, I didn’t want to startle [...]

Under the Weather

I’m feeling a little under the weather. Just generally icky. So the past few nights, I’ve made easy comfort food. Last night, we had a frittata and some roasted potatoes. I love roasted potatoes. So delicious. I really love potatoes in pretty much every form, but especially roasted, when they get slightly crispy, but soft [...]
