Three C's: June 2008
http://cookingcoffeecontriving.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 01, 2008. It was, verifiably, a complete and total kitchen disaster. Food wise, that is, I didn't burn anything down or something like that. And the sad thing is, I had an opportunity to cut my losses at one point, but I kept pushing on, I kept telling myself, better press on. (willy wonka, anyone? So I browsed recipes for awhile until I decided that I would make homemade pasta. yum! I was rockin' now. I made the filling for the raviolis, cooled it a bit and tasted it. Delicious! I'm not sur...

Three C's: April 2006

Thursday, April 13, 2006. So I had 2 egg yolks and 6 tablespoons of sugar in the bowl and I needed 1.5 egg yolks and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Nice. So I started randomly spooning the ingredients out of the bowl until it looked right to me. What a mess! I had egg yolk goop everywhere: the floor, counter, my arm, why is it that when I screw something up it always involves egg yolks being everywhere? And how did it get everywhere? Links to this post. Wednesday, April 12, 2006. So I'm about to make some very ...

Sunday, June 24, 2007. Last week I went out to dinner to Del Posto. SF was to get a chocolate almond cake thing. NY was getting a sorbet/prosecco. I was getting the chocolate pudding. I was excited and ready to order (and I'd have to say that I was most excited for the chocolate almond cake). The waiter came back and SF ordered first, and to my great dismay, after she ordered he instructed her to pick something else. but, but, the chocolate almond cake! How could they be out? Links to this post. So I mad...

Friday, April 11, 2008. Highlight from Birthday Eating Extravaganza: Dad likes Indian Food! Olderwiser.more tired, and VERY full. that's pretty much what it's like to be 30. oh, 30. so much to eat, and so little space. So it all started like this:. My sister and bro-in-law. I literally jumped up and down screaming for about 10 seconds. and then my b.i.l. offered to go get me milk too.what a day it was turning into! Fast forward several more hours and my parents and aunt also showed up and surprised me.

Monday, March 26, 2007. Fresh, give or take. While I was waiting in line today, my wandering eyes fell upon the parmesano reggiano display. Nothing exciting going on there (no chocolates exploding out of the display or anything) and just as my eyes were going to wander to something more interesting I saw the sign: "freshly grated parmesan.". So I went to the dictionary to see if maybe there was another definition for fresh that would explain this sign. Let's see. Forward or presumptuous" - ha! I am a big...

Saturday, April 28, 2007. So really, my only food experience in the southern lands was the Apple Bee's in the airport (BARF). HOWEVER, while in the taxi on the way to the airport I passed a Waffle House, followed immediately by a Pancake House. Which left me wondering, why no Egg House? Of egg houses, I did a search on google. No egg houses. But the 2 nd. Result was "How to wash egg off a house" - good to know. So, then, why no egg houses? Obviously), regular eggs (any way you want 'em), fancy frittatas.

Friday, March 24, 2006. When I got there ( Bridge Kitchenware. I think my heart skipped a beat. From the outside you could see piles and piles of cookware stacked up. The place was pretty tiny, but it had everything a cook could dream of. All the things from Williams-Sonoma that they stock only for holidays (heart shaped things and leaf shaped things and Christmas papers and things), plus every other pot and pan and utensil in every possible size imaginable, holy cow! I'll definitely be going back again,...

Thursday, March 13, 2008. No Splitting This Split. I have been reinspired to blog again. Many days and months have passed (a year even? So I've been traveling for work and have spent the last two weeks in. I went after work and settled in at the bar with a nice glass of wine. My treat dinner, I thought to myself, it being my last night here and all. I glanced over the menu, but I had studied it dutifully online and knew I wanted to order the burger. With bacon and cheese of course. I did eat the entire b...

Tuesday, September 11, 2007. This sad story begins with a series of "if onlys. And by the way, if you get sick when hearing about gory things, then don't read this). If only I had not been in such a hurry.if only I had used the pre. Chopped lettuce.if only we had ordered take-out.if only I had used proper knife skills as I always do, I wouldn't have had to go to the ER on Sunday night.

Wednesday, December 27, 2006. One more before vacation. Here's my fair warning . this entry is slightly more personal, centering around leg waxing (although there are no gory details per se). I would say it would be slightly more interesting to my female reader(s). Those not wanting to read further may stop here. See you next year! So yesterday was the day, I was so excited (well, as excited as you can be about getting hair ripped out of your body), and then I looked down at my legs. I thought to mys...
