Empty Plate (15/366)

(15/366) I meant to take a picture of my dinner for you because it was so delicious. But then it was so delicious that I ate my serving and then another serving before I could take a picture. I seriously considered eating another serving but then I would have eaten the entire thing and I’m [...]

Who Wants Some Rice?

Well too bad, you can’t have any. It’s hard to believe I’ve lived in Maryland for five years. Five years ago, things were very different. Five years ago: 1. I lived in an apartment in Baltimore. On the 13th floor. Yes, my apartment had a 13th floor. And I lived on it. And no, I [...]

Whole Fish Adventure

in Eating Adventures

The other day Andrew asked what I wanted for dinner. I gave him the usual, “Uhh…I don’t have any preferences…ice cream!” answer. So he suggested fish. Which is a lovely option. Andrew has also never let me down when cooking a fish dinner. So, imagine my surprise, when I walked into the kitchen and saw [...]

Bring Me a Steak!

by Simmie on March 4, 2011

in Eating Adventures

We did it. After nearly two months of vegetarianism, we broke our meat fast on Wednesday. I had always envisioned us biting into a huge hamburger or cutting into a nice juicy steak. But beef was not on our minds. Instead we had Chinese. As are most things like this, it was kind of anti-climatic. [...]

I’ll Give You A Hint

by Simmie on March 1, 2011

in Eating Adventures

So, I must admit when I asked yesterday what this was, I didn’t actually know. But given the many (yes, six is considered many to me) guesses, I had to find out. I was hoping someone would definitively know and be able to tell me, but after an unreasonably long internet search I was unable [...]

Tofurky

We’ve entered the realm of fake meat eating. Turns out tofurky sausages taste kind of like meat flavored bread. All in all, not too bad. Also, kale, beet, and pumpkin seed salad – awesome!

One week down…how many to go?

by Simmie on January 17, 2011

in Eating Adventures,Recipe

I’ve made it through my first week as a vegetarian. And I only ate cereal for dinner like twice last week. On Wednesday Andrew made me this awesome spinach quiche. According to him, it took a bit longer to firm up than the directions said, but he also substituted an egg for a 1/4 cup [...]

Going Vegetarian

by Simmie on January 12, 2011

in Eating Adventures

To start the new year off on…a foot, Andrew and I are going to vegetarian for the next two months. No real reason why, mostly just as a challenge. I still love me a good steak or some chicken and waffles, but for now I’m going veggie. Turns out I don’t have very much experience [...]

I’ve been on an almond roasting binge lately. It’s so easy and the results are spectacular. This past weekend Betsy and I hosted our Second Annual Hanukkah Party (yes, I know Hanukkah ended already, but it was a mutually convenient time) and while the party featured doughnuts, sweet potato latkes, regular potato latkes, and zucchini [...]

Pie

in Eating Adventures

Perhaps in preparation for the  Thanksgiving holiday, a couple of weeks ago we had a Pie Invitational. Yeah, I realize Thanksgiving was a while ago, but my calendar is still on October, so please cut me a little slack. I’m getting around to it all. It was a glorious and delicious affair in which all [...]
