My latest cooking from scratch endeavor!

Quoted: Making pasta from scratch is a little like being a mad scientist — there’s a lot of room for experimentation, you get to play with cool equipment, and you’re guaranteed to make a mess (which, of course, is half the fun).

I love how all variations of SimCity-type games are still so popular! FarmVille is a pretty cool app, I must say...

Quoted: FarmVille has quickly become the most popular application in the history of Facebook. More than 62 million people have signed up to play the game since it made its debut in June.

My latest blog post...

Quoted: In part five of this series , we make our way over the bridge and into Ballard ... a neighborhood so hip, so historical, and so out there on its own (that's a good thing), it's easy for newcomers to forget it's part of Seattle.

My latest blog post...

Quoted: I know — you’re never supposed to say never, and there’s a chance I’ll eat my words. But this cooking from scratch experiment taught me about certain foods that I’ll probably always buy readymade, and other foods that I’ll *probably* never buy again. Strong words, eh?

My latest food blog post...

Quoted: During my 30 days of cooking from scratch, people kept telling me they could never do what I was doing. So I feel like I need to confess that this wasn’t exactly a piece of cake for me. There was more than one chocolate meltdown, and a few sushi cravings that almost turned violent.

The end of my 30 days!!

Quoted: Once a month, I get cranky and depressed … when I get my credit card bill, that is. A few happy hours here, a couple sushi dinners there, and next thing you know you’re signing away your first born to Citibank. But lo and behold, my monthly bill was $300 cheaper than my average this time.

My latest blog post...

Quoted: If you think the title of this post sounds vaguely like the end of a game of Clue, well, you’re right. So why would I reference a murder mystery game when I’m writing about plum cobbler? Well, because I somehow managed to convince myself that the plums might kill me, obviously…

I trussed chicken!

Quoted: I guess it’s easy to forget where your meat comes from when you buy it in neatly trimmed, plastic-wrapped portions. So, I decided it was time to overcome my meat fears and hypocrisy … with the help of a roast chicken.
