Thank you thank you to everyone for your great suggestions, advice, and motivating thoughts! The task no longer feels impossible and I've got a clear plan now :)
We are a small office (just 11 of us) but have a full kitchen w/ a dishwasher so all of the dishes, utensils, etc. are in there. I've got a ziplock with various tea bags and a jar of cinnamon (to ...
I've got one of these and my mom always used one when I was growing up (perhaps influenced by her father's German roots?). My boyfriend is skeptical but after using them for a few hard and soft-bo...
Yep, that pizza is from Pi here in St. Louis (that's right, the pres. chose deep dish style pizza from the 'Lou and not Chicago hehe). It's really really good, and it's a cool place as well. Appa...
I despise my rental's kitchen floor - mostly because the old, chipped, dull, probably-asbestos tile that NEVER looks clean. I considered this last time I mopped. I think I'll try it this weekend. ...
The women's restrooms on my floor (at an otherwise nice, rehabbed old hardware warehouse in an historic area of downtown STL) are AWFUL. I mean, just embarrassingly bad. Supposedly we are on the ...
My drawers need major help (all two of them!) - and I'm sure I can get rid of a few stragglers in the cupboards. This is one true benefit of a tiny kitchen - very little room for anything extraneous.
I'm pretty excited about how my Cure is going - I made some great progress this weekend. I got through the Freezer and Spices on Saturday (freezer hadn't been truly cleaned out in AGES), then the ...
I finally cooked for the boy, instead of him cooking for me. I'm really a better prep cook/kitchen cleaner than actual cook so it's a rare moment. But that just means I should try more often I su...
It snowed last night...in St. Louis. Ugh! Luckily it's all gone and the sky has turned blue and the temp is rising. Needless to say, we still had a winter-y breakfast of french toast w/ blueberry...
A ballpark hotdog w/ yellow mustard at the old Busch Stadium on a cold May Cards v. Cubs game day. Heaven.
After that, it went downhill fast - hamburgers, 1/2 a brat, bacon - all in t...
@JD523 I AM near TJs and will pick some up next time I'm there, it sounds like a perfect addition! Thanks :)
Dinner tonight - fried rice w/ chicken and homemade spring rolls. Yum!
Really looking forward to a weekend of curing (and probably some b.ball watching) but I totally wish it was nicer outside!! I have far more motivation when the windows are all open and the breeze i...
Two pretty tame, though I felt essential, kitchen firsts for me already this weekend (and it's not even noon!) - steel cut oatmeal (eaten with some cinnamon, turbinado sugar, and a few froz. bluebe...

I only buy unsalted butter, for both baking and toast, cooking, etc. I don't miss whatever amount of salt they add to regular butter one bit.

Grass-fed beef burgers w/ smoked cheddar and bacon for dinner tonight along w/ an asparagus tabblouleh salad from 101 cookbooks. Mmmm!!

In a drawer. Just have a few, would like one of those in-drawer trays if possible. It's on the list of things to do for the cure.
Tonight we're eating them in a risotto made w/ homemade stock. I'll also go for a few breaded and fried, though, too!
