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 [...]

Hearty Miso Soup

I generally enjoy ‘fusion food’. This is because of the theory that a restaurant generally does not attempt to serve fusion food unless it has a firm grasp on all of the different types of food it is attempting to merge together. While I don’t really have a firm grasp of anything, much less the [...]

Sausages with Biscuits

It’s a rare thing that can tempt a lady’s heart more then a big pile of meat. There I was, casually roaming the aisles of the local Kroger, when a friendly little tube of sausage just hopped right on into my cart. Being a kind person, I allowed it to come along for the ride. [...]

Strawberry Chocolate Waffles ahoy!

So, if you already didn’t know, waffles are the breakfast* of the gods. I mean, with that many syrup traps, how could you go wrong? So, I only had 1.5 of the 2 cups of mix required to make said waffles, so I improvised, mostly by dumping in a bunch of strawberry chunks and chocolate [...]
