Treat of the Week

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

By far the best investment the Hawley household made this week: Dried strawberries. Not the freeze-dried kind Kellogg’s loving mixes into their cereals (or astronauts facestuff), but more along the lines of a natural, jam-flavoresque gum drop. Are we diggin it yet? Where did this purchase take place, where may you toddle to? Bill’s Imported Foods on Lyndale baby. Really [...]

COOKED: Sugared Doughnuts Or “If All Else Fails, Manipulate The Data”

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Saw that locution sprawled across the hairy chest of the too-high cut-offs loving drip who managed to petrify my friend with a mere scantily clad jaunt down the McAisle. Oh, throw the stones at me now, for I, yes I, went, and ate at McDonalds last week. I know! How dare I set my hypocritical ass upon one of their [...]

COOKED: Gluten-Free Bread Or Sweet, Sweet Clenchy Fists Is All Angry

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

How many times have I bought a special, gluten free product hoping it’ll taste good? I don’t know, but I obviously don’t get sick of it because I keep doing it. I think, in total, maybe four slices of this bread were digested. The rest was thrown away. Bad, bad Lucia. From what I can [...]

COOKED: Banana Muffins Or Just Because They Look Healthy

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Doesn’t mean that you have to spit them out. No, really! The muff’ recipe came from the old Joy of Cooking, which is… you know… old. Back when buttery, moist and delicious muffins were not the norm. So, sigh. I pushed one into the palm of an unsuspecting victim, assuring him that these weren’t like [...]

COOKED: Applesauce Or The Creepy Girl Is Back, And Why Is She Waving Like That?

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Food! Fooood! Dear Diary, I’m back. Can you tell? Vim and vigor in place, dirty dishes in the sink. Fun on the bun. I don’t even drink coffee and I’ve got the jumps. The good food jumps. So, here I am to tell you about my applesauce. No need to explain how I made it [...]

COOKED: Roasted Squash Seeds Or Little Things Once Covered In Goo Have Never Been So Loved

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

By you, reader(s)! I always enjoy the gooey, the sticky, the gross. Not like this is new for you, I hope. If it is, then just take a minute, breath, and drop everything you’re doing to… learn that. There will be a quiz at the end of this blog (as a whole, not just the [...]

COOKED: Sweet Potato Chips Or It’s Been Such A Long Time! Take Off Your Skin, Let Me Put It In The Trash Darling!

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Gotta love the ever versatile tuber. Why, the options are endless! Me? I choose to either fry it chip or french fry style. Maybe, just maybe I’ll try mashed potatoes later! Oh, and can’t forget that hash! I’m being mildly sarcastic here. Can you tell? I need to work on this whole thinking what I’m [...]

SNACKED: Candied Papaya, Or Hey What An Autumnal Color Must Eat It

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

I must be a sucker for color. I waltzed into the new Lund’s on Central Ave (which is pretty expensive, but awfully fun) and these caught my eye. They’re sold as “Dried Papayas: Low Sugar and NO Sulfur!” but really, these are not low sugar and are instead a delectable candied fruit. The texture of [...]

I eat what I want, and I want what I eat.
