Two days after we moved to LA, we promptly left again on what would previously have been practically impossible (or at least, incredibly not enjoyable) from our former home, the quickest weekend trip back to B2's home in Hawaii. We went for a wedding and for Halmunee-to-be's ...
easy
easy, crispy oven fries + some news
One of the things I like most about this little space is how easy it's always been to come here and tell you (or, at the very least, future me) about all the things that have been happening in the world of the two red bowls, even if most weeks it's literally nothing but the same old, same old, plus a recipe for cake. So it was really and truly ...
spicy salmon onigiri
I'm pretty sure you don't really need a recipe to know how to make these little snacks, which are as simple as they are delicious and are nothing more than rice and lightly dressed salmon wrapped up snug in seaweed. But I'm also convinced that there can never be enough words said about those really easy but wonderful things that are magically more ...
bubble tea oatmeal, hot and cold
Yep, it's true. I went and made oatmeal out of bubble tea. (Or bubble tea out of oatmeal?) I have no idea how it happened. The idea landed in my lap when I was making, not any other kind of kooky oatmeal, but the simplest one I've had in years -- on a particularly blustery day in this reluctant spring we've been having, I had a hankering for ...
chickpea alfredo with watercress and chives
The thing about alfredo that plagues me is the same thing that might be said about cacio e pepe, or macaroni & cheese, or carbonara -- they're dishes that I adore with all my soul, all cheesy, carb-y deliciousness, but that I eat woefully infrequently, because I somehow always talk myself into something with a little more greenery or a ...
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 ...
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 ...
