I had some problems last year; I live in SF, but next to some nice open space. I put all my food in containers (some of which still bear tiny scratch marks), set traps, etc. It helped, but they wer...

Yes! I just made this, with extra asparagus, since fiddleheads are rare and expensive on the West Coast, and it is delicious. It's the first risotto I've ever made, and I'm no longer scared!

Of all things, mine was beef jerky! Growing up, my sister and I always got beef jerky during long car vacations. Two years ago, while on my way to Vegas from SF, I just couldn't help myself. The ne...

I made this last week and my boyfriend pronounced it the best thing I'd ever cooked. I'm going to try it tonight with fennel. I hope it goes as well.

I made this last night (hoping that the extra line was a typo) - and it was FANTASTIC. I'm completely excited about eating the leftovers for lunch today.

What comes after the diced tomatoes on the ingredient list? A can of something! I want to make this tonight!

I have just discovered the wonder that is Napa Cabbage in Ramen broth. I am a happy, happy girl.

I love it! Then again, I'm the girl who made a cheeseball turkey for Thanksgiving: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maceelaine/30815...

I love fake meat products, because of the convenience. I'm an omnivore myself, like so many others, but it's nice to have these things in the freezer, ready to go when I am. Plus, I never have to w...

I'm 100% ready to buy, but the site is having some major problems. It's really slow, and won't load some pages. Is anyone else having this problem?

I LOVE eggnog. Homemade, store bought, all of it. In fact, I consciously made a point of avoiding it so far this season, because I can drink it so fast. Mmmmmmm.

That's very odd - I stopped by Safeway this week and there was a huge display of asparagus for sale. Something struck me as odd as I walked past it - it wasn't until much later that I realized it w...

I'm happy to see so many other people love Pink Ladies as much as I do. (Though a granny will do in a pinch.)

My favorite color is green!

Congratulations, Lisa! She does excellent work, and I'm honored to have one of her originals at home.

I love them all, but Riverbed would fit best in my room.

I don't really have a favorite slow cooked meal, because I've never had the pot! But I think I'd make some stews, for sure.

I've been making a pasta sauce out of gypsy peppers, and it is divine!

My iron disappeared last year when I moved! It wasn't too much of a tragedy, though, as it was old and I don't have a board. So a steamer would be fantastic!

It looks too small to be jicama. And the skin is usually a deeper brown. That said, though, I have NO idea what it is.
