This week we've been reveling in finally getting around to all the things that had fallen by the wayside in the last month or so. B2 led the charge on some direly needed spring cleaning, from finally unpacking our bags from LA right down to dusting everything in sight and ...
Course
chicken & apple salad with honey mustard vinaigrette
We're back! How was the rest of your February? I won't bore you with most of the details of mine, which was mostly a mish-mash of work and other not-super-fun things, but B2 and I did top off our month with a couple of bright and beautiful days (or, more accurately, just a smidge over 24 hours) in sunny LA this past weekend, which I think is much ...
breakfasts in bed
cracker-style thin crust pizza
So we are currently super into thin crust pizza! I don't know why the magic of thin crust took so long to dawn on us, but a couple of months ago B2 and I tried a new pizza place in our neighborhood and rediscovered all the perks of it we hadn't appreciated until now. It's crackly, flaky, crisp ...
cheesy garlic pull-apart bread
We've had adventures this week! Last Friday, I braved the pre-blizzard craziness at the supermarket to buy the only things I thought we needed for a snow day -- (a) pork and (b) bok choy for (c) lion's head meatballs. And maybe also some seltzer. While the ...
roasted cauliflower & chickpeas on toast
chamomile lemon poppy seed loaf cake
If you couldn't tell from this blog, B2 and I are about the unfanciest people in the world. Most of the time, being a lawyer is just as unfancy (and for me generally consists of (a) sitting at a desk, (b) clicking things on a screen, and (c) wondering what on earth I'm doing). But every once in a blue moon, our firms decide to celebrate something ...
oyakodon
Hi friends! Happy 2016! How are you faring and/or eating this week? I've been ping-ponging between something like I must consume the healthiest superfood in the world, my stomach is drowning in butter and please don't make me go cold turkey, my stomach needs more butter. After a little of each (hi there, Sunday night's ...
fig jam & goat cheese thumbprint cookies
We're in Hawaii! I had a filing the night before that kept me in the office about a million hours later than I expected, we packed half the things we meant to pack and none of our laundry, but we made it on the plane (I think I set a new record for the most hours I've or anyone has ever slept on a single flight) and now I'm sitting at B2's family's ...
miso-glazed scallops
It's my dad's birthday today! My brother and I are patting each other on the back because we enrolled him in a Beer of the Month club for his birthday this year and saved ourselves him from getting something like socks or his fourth Roger Federer cap. His two great loves are beer and tennis (well, and Chinese food), so part of me is wondering how ...
