Yes! I come from a big Italian family. As many as fit in the kitchen cook. The rest backseat drive from the adjacent room. My husband, however, cannot boil water and talk. Thought it was just him.....
Every now and then I do this. I'm a vegetarian, and I have several meals that clock in at a buck or less per serving. Unless I'm using organic ingredients, unfortunately. Then it's the 2 buck and u...
I have a quinoa salad--cool quinoa tossed with a tangy Dijon tarragon vinaigrette, big chunks of perfectly ripe avocado, and served over crunchy romaine. That's the basic. I tend to add whatever el...
I will definitely give this a try.
My usual method is to quick "pickle" them for sandwiches: Thinly slice the onion, pour boiling water over and let stand about 10 seconds, drain, then...
No, it's just you.
Though miso-maple bacon root beer...ugh. Of course, I hate bacon and root beer and maple is not a big, big fave, so...
I had miso peanuts once in Japan ...
I have an aunt who is the queen of the stress-insomnia induced dead of night baking bonanza. My cousin told me recently that he was well into high school before he realized that not everyone's mom ...
I hate my granite countertops, but the lemonade is a) defrosting and b) rolling out crusts. Fab for both. If only it wasn't hard enough to shatter acrylic, ugly, and a fussy material to care for.
Love love love love love love eggplant. And have totally had inedible, rubbery bitter eggplant--sometimes cooked it myself! Eggplant is one of the veggies you need to learn how to handle, and then ...
Just go to Epicurious if you must have a recipe! Though I can think of nothing less relaxing in the morning...This is one case where the bakery/frozen section is truly my friend.
This doesn't strike me as strange anymore, but 20 years ago I was quite taken aback to be presented with azuki bean ice cream (it was Japanese). I like azuki beans fine in savory dishes, but I stil...
I'm a vegetarian, and I hate hate HATE to be fussed over by the host. I eat before the party so I'm not famished, and I just quietly evade the meat. The exception is a really formal sit-down--it wo...
This sounds unsalvagable to me. Roasting something mixed with tahini sounds like a good way to add "flaming pile of eggplant," "smoke alarm," and "sheepish explanation to the FDNY" to this story. Y...
I mainly use the Internet to quickly compare recipes. Yesterday I made succotash for the first time, but I found I didn't have one ingredient called for in my cookbook. I was wondering what else mi...
Meat. I'm a vegetarian because of the smell and texture of meat. I could care less about little animals. They should all be made into boots. (And nothing smells worse than tanning hides, but that's...
Breakfast, weekend lunches, and dinner, almost every day. It's my second job. We can't quite afford our rent these days (it more than doubled a year ago), and when it came to what gives, eating out...
And if you're vegetarian, just skip the bonito. Japanese people usually refer to the bonito-free version as kombu dashi, while calling the bonito version just dashi.

This never would have occured to me. Thanks! I will try this!
