Whereupon we stuff our faces late at night at Pete’s Kitchen

True story: if you are cheap and greasy, there is a good chance I will love you forever. Or at least until I get a chance to digest you. So yeah, when I’m feeling some cheap and greasy, heading to a diner is a pretty standard choice. Or, you know, when hungover. I’m not really [...]

Yet another sushi post. Because raw tuna is pretty much the Best Thing Ever.

So you know how it is when someone makes a bunch of food, and you eat it and are all like, “This is awesome, you shouldn’t have?!” But the person that made it seems just as grateful to you for liking it and eating it? I TOTALLY SYMPATHIZE. If you like to make food, it’s [...]

Whereupon I go to a tailgate and eat sausages

So it’s National Novel Writing Month, meaning that I am officially a bit worse than usual at keeping this blog up to date. Never fear though, guilt saves the day! Thus, I post here rather than, you know, work on said novel. It’s all good, though, sleep is for the weak. So anyhow, I’ve recently [...]

Holy Veggie Curry, Batman!

So I recently had the fortune to acquire from a coworker a zucchini of epic proportions. I’ve been feeding off of this sucker for weeks (well, off and on at least), and still have some left. After awhile, fried zucchini and zucchini bread just don’t cut it anymore. I don’t think I’ve never used zucchini [...]

My Delightful Sushi Rampage

I’ve been on a sushi kick lately. A big reason for this is because, on a recent thrift store visit, I bought what is pretty much the Best Plate Ever. It’s a copper plate made by Del Campo in Italy which I picked up for $2. I hadn’t heard of Del Campo until I saw [...]

Pretty Much The Most Festive Furikake Ever

So, at some point in the vaguely recent past, I found myself at the Pacific Mercantile in downtown Denver. This is pretty much the Best Place Ever to buy anything Japan-related. Well, except, you know, Japan. And I’m sure LA has some great places as well (along with a bunch of other US major cities, [...]

My Box of Plants from Door to Door Organics – With Kale, Amongst Other Things!

So I recently got the pleasure of receiving a box of veggies from Door to Door Organics. And lets be honest, there are few things more exciting in this world than opening up a box and finding it full of plants! There was a decent range of stuff in the box, including lettuce, teeny little [...]

Homemade Salmon Sushi Party

I had the opportunity, not too long ago, to take over some friends’ kitchen and make a giant pile of salmon and veggie sushi. I’ve recently discovered this awesome fresh fish market in the Highlands area of Denver, and though it cost rather more than I was willing to spend, $22/lb for really freaking good [...]

Posole Party in My Mouth!

So yeah, in the last post I made I mentioned trying posole, liking it, and then buying some from ye local grocery store? Well, first off, the price is certainly friendly. I got this 2 lb. frozen bag for about $1.50: I then looked up posole on wikipedia. I had little confidence in my ability [...]

Café Castro: Mexican in Santa Fe, NM

So at some point in the vaguely recent past, we found ourselves on a short vacation in Santa Fe, NM. We ate out a bunch while there – I’d be tempted to say “too much” were it not for the excessive amounts of hiking we did there as well. Those are always the best vacations, [...]
