When we moved into our apartment, we decided not to get cable. The decision was easy because for some reason a few channels came through our hookup– HBO, Food Network, TBS– and I bought a connecting cable for my laptop to the television. When we came back from vacation earlier this month, we discovered that both all the movie channels we were receiving had been cut off. Fine. But, then I went to hook my computer up to the television to watch the latest episode of Louie off of iTunes (where I purchase the shows I really cannot miss like Mad Men) and discovered that the latest software update forbade me from watching my library of movies on the big screen. WTF???

Ugh, the idea of breakfast in bed is unappealing the me. Crumbs plus my snuggly, warm blankets? No thank you! Dessert in bed is good- chocolates, ice cream, bring it on! But breakfast isn't complete without some good toast and I do not want to lay my head down on toast shards later that night.

I worked at a restaurant and the chef put an amazing, buttery, preserved lemon sauce on the fish of the day. It was so good. We also took to dipping the bread in it as well. Good stuff.

I want to grill some zucchini! And chicken breasts, of course.

Those croissants look amazing! Where's the recipe for those?

I think a Valentine's Day dinner I made a couple of years ago takes the cake for most complicated. Making candied orange peels, macaroons and ganache for dessert... trimming and blanching and baking veggies and making a compound butter. Very daunting for me- especially because I was rather new to cooking at the time.

I haven't tried this stuff yet, but I am obviously craving it... I had a dream two nights ago where I was tasting some at a grocery store.
