Can every year be one where the Super Bowl, Lunar New Year, and Mardi Gras fall three days in a row? I have had (1) pizza, (2) wings, (3) a majority share in about four different party-sized bags of chips, (4) dumplings, (5) noodles, and (6) pancakes ...

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 ...

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 ...
peppermint mochi
Oh man, it's been not-enough-hours-in-the-day days around here lately. Most of the time it is safe to ignore me when I say that because I spend about half my waking hours huffing to B2 about the "million things I have to do" and then the other half of those hours on the couch doing zero of those things until it is too late to do them, but for ...
sticky date cinnamon rolls
Hi friends! How was your Thanksgiving? We spent ours with my parents and my brother last week, in a couple of slow, wonderful days at home. It was pretty exciting -- we sat around and told the same stories for the eighty-seventh time each, I woke up way earlier than you'd ever usually find me so that I could have sleepy coffees with my dad, my sole ...
