I will not eat green eggs and ham

I decided to make Drew some green eggs and ham. I’ve not dyed any food funny colors in quite awhile, and this provided the perfect excuse to do so. To be accurate, this is green eggs and cheese and ham. And, unlike in the infamous novel of the same name as this dish, the eggs [...]

Delicious Bacon Sushi! (Part 2)

So a little while ago, I applied for a part-time position as a sushi apprentice. Or, more specifically, a sushi apprentice at a sushi bar in a giant nightclub in a giant stone church. Talk about the best job ever. Well, best job ever for someone else, as I did not get the position. Hooray [...]

Delicious Bacon Sushi! (Part 1)

I came up with the idea of making bacon sushi a little while back, and once the idea was there, I could not get it out of my mind. It seemed like such a fabulous idea. How convenient that bacon was on sale at Safeway recently (2 for 1 packs of Jimmy Dean!). We got [...]

Biscuits and sausages and tuna, or, The joys of depending on others

So Drew and I recently made a cross-country drive in a moving truck from Richmond to Denver. Prior that, we had flown back to Richmond for the weekend to get said truck. Meaning that for about 2.5 days, we were without either a home or a car. This also meant that (when we weren’t eating [...]

How to have a fabulously purple breakfast

So I’ve been on this yogurt and cereal and fruit kick for awhile now. Got bored with raisins, moved on to peaches, then got bored with peaches, and moved on to other fruits. Tried microwaving a frozen blueberry/raspberry/strawberry mix and dumping that in, to fabulous effect: So purple! To make this, I used cereal (I [...]

It’s A Great Day For Blueberries

The sort of fruits I choose to buy are sometimes rather dependent on the price tag. For example, I have lately been buying near-excessive quantities of blueberries, because it’s hard to say “no” to $2.00 per container. There are near-infinite possibilities regarding what one can do with blueberries, so I’ll cover a few here that [...]

My Big Fat Hippie Breakfast

So I go through these breakfast phases. Like, for awhile I’ll be really into eating cereal. And then all of the sudden, I’ll just have no stomach for it, and start eating bananas every day. Then I’ll suddenly get really sick of bananas and switch to something else. Then at some point I’ll inevitably be [...]

Gazebo House of Pancakes in Williamsburg, VA

So, a little while back Drew and I made a foray into the magical land of Williamsburg, VA to get breakfast with his mom. Being an internet junkie, I picked the place by doing a google search for pancake places and picking the one with the highest rating from some random website or another with [...]

Bisquick Sausages!

Happy November! Here’s some sausages to warm the soul! I was going for the hot dog look, but ended up with the “Sausages reclining on delicious beanbags” look. Tasted rather good, in any case, especially when coupled with some maple syrup. Has breakfast ever been so joyful as this? Coupled with salad and some fluid-holdin’ [...]

A Rainbow of Taste (Yogurt + M&Ms = Joy)

I’ve recently come to the realization that yogurt + fruit + granola is a rather gratifying sort of breakfast. But you know what makes it even better? Adding M&Ms. It’s like a party in your mouth! The strategy is to mix it up just enough. You want the colors to swirl around and look all [...]
