We’ve changed!

Monday, September 28th, 2009

And by we I mean me and my dog blue, the good old blogstuff formerly known as College Kibble is now the Essential Omnivore, because I’m OUTTA university in weeks! Absolutely titillation here, of which written text gives insufficient justice. Here’s what I cooked on Wednesday, the Asian Cabbage Salad from Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking [...]

Alana’s Bread

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Alana made bread! And I ate it! Major! It needs enough time to rise twice, which could be off putting if you want bread NOW and have all the ingredients and so on, but according to her the recipe is quite easy and only takes a minute to throw together. Then it’s just the waiting [...]

1/2 tab Junket Rennet + 1 1/2 teaspoon vitamin C powder + 1 gallon whole milk = pretty ok mozzerella - le stretchiness, and better than pretty ok ricotta.

Puddles of Love

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Dear Diary,
How have you been? I have been O.K. I had a really fun weekend! I decided to cook some quinoa. I sauteed onions in butter, then infused the oil with cumin, tumeric, hot pepper flakes, mustard seeds and cinnamon. I added the quinoa grains and let them toast for a bit, then, per a [...]

COOKED: Many Things

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Oike. I’ve cooked so many things that haven’t been photographed. And on top of that, I’ve baked so much more than usual. Carrot muffins? Check. Gingerbread? Check. More cookies? Double check.
Yet, I have no pictures to proudly present to you. I console myself with sauteed tomatoes. Do you agree?

COOKED: Coleslaw Or Cue The Wah Pedal, Unnngh!

Friday, March 28th, 2008

The few times I used gopher grocery were nice. Order the basics online, pick a time to have the food delivered, wait for food, get rung by the awkward gopher grocery guy with groceries in tow, let said guy in, make enough small talk until we reach apartment door, avoid thinking troublesome thoughts about how [...]

COOKED: Potato Salad Or Just Because The Potatoes Have A Little Give To Them

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Doesn’t mean that they’re not delicious. Poor babies. Poor you, what, with that double negative! Anywoo, I left my place for a few weeks, but before leaving I made sure to use up any perishables. Guess potatoes should be added to that list. I came back last week to find them slightly shriveled and soft, [...]

COOKED: Brussel Sprouts Or I Won’t Say It…

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Ha! Bet you didn’t see this coming, nope nope nope. Not from a plain oatmeal eater. Not from the prune lover. Not from the oatmeal raisin cookie endorser. Never, ever would I even think about brussel sprouts. Nor would I think about enjoying them. Well, proved your little pea sized brain wrong, again! Just kidding. [...]

COOKED: Flour Tortillas Or Oh, The Cravings After A 2 And 1/2 Hour Nap

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

That’s right. I took a nap that long. It was amazing. I didn’t even cognize that I was tired, not until I hopped onto my bed to turn on the light next to it. That final Spanish portfolio that’s due tomorrow? Yeah, it’s due tomorrow. I totally had this plan to finish it tonight and [...]
