Faux Pho fo’ a Photo

I love Asian grocery stores. I don’t know what 1/2 the vegetables are, which makes it all the more exciting. At any point, I could go in there, buy a random thing I’ve never eaten before, and throw it in a pan and see what happens. Keeps life exciting, you see. I also appreciate the [...]

Pasta of the Sea (Pasta Roni Style)

I have decided that I greatly appreciate pasta dishes in strange environments. Galactic pasta was not enough, I simply had to throw some into the ocean as well. In any case, Pasta Roni is super useful when you need to use up a bunch of stuff and are too lazy to make pasta from scratch. [...]

Sugar Cookies with Wheat Flour

I’d been planning on making sugar cookies for awhile. See, there’s been a large quantity of sugar cookie frosting sitting in my freezer for entirely too long, and I’ve just been waiting for a good opportunity to use it. As I’m not quite sure how long frosting lasts, even when frozen, I finally decided to [...]

Galactic Improv Pasta

There are two types of pasta in this world. There is planned pasta, and there is improv pasta. Planned pasta is often the result of a recipe, where you have a trip to the grocery store and spend precious dollars to get fabulous ingredients for the making of your dinner. Then there is improv pasta. [...]

Melty Cheese Crackers

It is a very dairy time of year. See, around this time of year, your wallet starts conspiring with your stomach. Your wallet is all like, “Boy, heating this home sure is expensive, wish I could get my owner to be warmer without wasting all this money!”, and your stomach is all like, “Boy do [...]

Pizza from Papa John’s, with Pineapple

This will have zilch to do with actual cooking. This is because a.) I’m lazy, and b.) I like pizza. We had the fabulous fortune of acquiring a free pizza coupon from a friend, so we recently cashed in on that baby. 1/2 pepperoni for Drew, 1/2 extra cheese for me, because being constipated for [...]

The Easiest Pumpkin Cookies in the Entire Friggin Universe

So this is fabulous. I’m poking around allrecipes.com, thinking that it’s high time I made some cookies with pumpkin in them. See, I had this visionary idea awhile back. It was when I first discovered that you, indeed, could use a cake mix to make cookies. My brain was squishing around all of the different [...]

What I Ate for Lunch at Some Point

This will be what I call exceedingly lazy blogging. See, here’s how things usually work. I take pictures, and then after awhile I dump them all out of the camera and into the computer, and hack them up in Photoshop and make them internet worthy. Sometimes I have many many things that I’m making, and [...]

Tofu with Peanut Sauce (aka More Protein Then You Ever Needed, Plus Some!)

I’ve been struggling, for many an eon now (and by ‘eon’, I mean ‘cooking session’), to make tofu such that I don’t feel like I’m eating teeny sponges. In theory, one can cook tofu such that it will be crispy, yet fluffy, on the outside, and delicious all over. I’ve had it like that in [...]

Leftover Mexican Food is Infinite

Seriously, it is. I never have leftovers last as long as Mexican food. Example #1: Chipotle. Mind you, it’s rather Americanized as Mexican food goes (*pretty* sure of this, at least), but it does not change the fact that it is delicious. This past Halloween, there was a glorious promotion whereupon if you wore tin [...]
