Pretentious Salad: November 2008
http://pretentioussalad.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. On Thanksgiving, my first pecan pie in quite some time was a mixed success. It tasted great, and looked fantastic until it was cut. It didn't set up in the very center very well, but it ate just fine. I'd put the recipe on here, but most of you have your own. I will mention that I whipped the cream with white sugar, a touch of vanilla, and JACK DANIELS. I will make this a regular practice. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. I absolutely LOVE my draperies! Now I'm trying to figure ou...

Pretentious Salad: May 2009
http://pretentioussalad.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 22, 2009. Here is my first attempt at using my MiniMe. This Simplicity pattern is a slip-on, and my dress form made that quite a challenge since I gave her "cap sleeves." (see below). This was really fun, though. I made it twice, since the first attempt was for gorilla shoulders. I reworked it and finished it this morning. Monday, May 18, 2009. Sorry Been travelling around. Just cooking repeats for awhile. The recipe calls for naan which I couldn't remember to pick up in the pretentious groce...

Pretentious Salad: January 2010
http://pretentioussalad.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 4, 2010. Can I Stick My Cold Feet in Soup? I don't know why I need warm liquids to stay warm when it is wintertime. I just do. And sometimes tea isn't enough. We are always looking for yummy soups, regardless of the weather. Martha provided one for us. (Martha Stewart, that is, from her January 2010 issue.) Unusual combination, but yummy results. I'll post a picture after I've finished my bowl. 2 T olive oil. 3 celery stalks. cut on the bias in 1/2 inch pieces. 2 pinches red pepper flakes.

Pretentious Salad: September 2008
http://pretentioussalad.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2008. Yesterday we had burgers for Indoor Date Night since KK was not working. So, of course with a free night, we often think of wine. My fall schedule seriously curbs my wine intake, but any night I'm not working, my thoughts lean towards what wine I'll have with what food. Labels: Bogle Old Vine Zin. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. We had it with some baked Arctic Char, and a Pinot Grigio. I think it would be even yummier with a Sauvignon Blanc. This recipe is sort of li...1 c p...

CLICK HERE FOR THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. A day in the life of a family with 3 girls. Saturday, June 13, 2009. A Psalm of Wandering. I'm such a stupid sheep. About all sorts of things. Whether I'll find grazing land. A fold at night. In which I can feel safe. I only find troubles. I turn aside from You. To plan my rebel way. I follow other shepherds. Even other stupid sheep. Then when I end up. On some dark mountain. I start to bleat. Find me save me. Psalms of Life-Joseph Bayley. This is our m...

Pretentious Salad: October 2008
http://pretentioussalad.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 13, 2008. And the Oscar goes to. Francis Ford Coppola, hands down. We have enjoyed his budget red wine, Rosso. For a few years now. Cruising through Goody Goody a few weeks ago, KK was scouting out some new zinfandels. Just a random selection (mostly for the bizarre labeling), I picked up this Director's Cut Zinfandel by Coppola for about $18. The label is a zoetrope (early animation/film style of image series), an homage to his filmmaking. Mesa was delightful. Really delicious. I...We lo...

Pretentious Salad: July 2009
http://pretentioussalad.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2009. France, pt. quatre: Cordes-sur-Ciel. Just a few minutes past Albi is a small town called Cordes-sur-Ciel, a darling town on the top of a hill. It looks impressive from a distance, and, as we found out, even better when you pass it up and look back upon it. This town came complete with 8ft wide, two lane roads at about 15% grade incline. France, pt. trois: Albi. Monday, July 20, 2009. France, pt. deux. But they were well worth it, as I will post pictorally below. Some of my favorit...

Pretentious Salad: June 2009
http://pretentioussalad.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Hummus with Baby Carrots. Tomato and Shell Peas with Balsamic Vinaigrette. Mini Farfalle, Artichokes and Lemon. Arugula, Grapefruit and Avocado Salad. It is 100 degrees here today, and most of this dinner uses no heat. Yeah! And also no animal products, so vegetarian is our theme this week. Wait, I might use some cheese on the pasta, but cheese is. For physical and mental well-being. Thursday, June 4, 2009. I have heard of Amy Sedaris's. Cupcake recipe before and thought I'd give ...
