I use egg cups to measure an approximate "shot" for my G&Ts. Not a uni-tasker at all ;)

And this makes me want a soft-boiled tomorrow as well! Bring on the toast soldiers.

Making carrot/ginger/miso soup because I'm craving that flavor and it's finally wintery outside. Hoping to bake bread and a new batch of granola. Lots of veggies that need to be roasted and I refuse to start next week without some sort of plan for lunches during the workday. This week was a disaster that involved more Subway sandwiches than I care to admit. Happy weekend!

Happy Birthday, NYKATE! :)

I've got a pot of butternut squash soup on the stove right now (11:30ish Friday night) because I couldn't go another day without cooking - it's been weeks and now that the semester has begun I need to replenish my fridge so I can still eat well running between the office and class.

On the agenda for tomorrow and Sunday, then: veggie chili (Anna's from Door Sixteen, I love it so incredibly much), whole wheat muffins from here, a batch of sourdough, overnight oatmeal for next week and hopefully a real dinner at home w/ the boy. Have a great weekend all!

Made this tonight for some friends who came for dinner. Super easy weeknight dish, and even easier was making the broccoli soup part last night, letting it "meld" in the fridge overnight, and then reheating/stirring in the cheddar tonight. Super tasty.

What a thoughtful post on a topic of food/wine pairings I'd never considered! Love it. Bookmarking this one for sure.

@lazy_lurker: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/dessert/recipe-earl-grey-tea-cookies-013268 :) So good.

I grilled, by myself, for the 1st time ever tonight. It was an emotionally momentous occasion for a few reasons for this single gal. Needless to say, I'm pretty proud. And used several tips for grilled pork tenderloin from the Kitchn. Thanks guys :)

Joe will be missed without doubt. Thank you for the nice tribute, Mary. I enjoyed your "1st encounter" story :)

I wish we could get L/D Selections in MO, but at least places like Chambers Street ship!

My personal faves are anything from Jean-Paul Brun - Terres Dorees Morgon, especially, and Marc Ollivier's Domaine de la Pepiere.

Ooh this sounds good! And easy. And oh that picture of the egg. Yum.

My father's daughter - I wear a bib apron in the kitchen always, even while doing dishes (better than splashing greasy water on myself). He's a restaurateur and is never seen without a crisp clean white bib apron on over his khakis and polo. Totally old school and awesome.

End of weekend cooking binge this afternoon/evening: roasted tomato soup w/ garlic and thyme. Applesauce w/ cinnamon and ginger (from the bruised leftovers of last weekend's pick-your-own trip). Sweet corn risotto, with stock made from the cobs. Most of the fruit/veg was local and cheap so I'm feeling really good about it. What a lovely time of year. And what a peaceful feeling to spend a few hours in the kitchen on my own reflecting on today while also doing something that nourishes the body and the soul.
