I used to eat Chinese take out all the time for lunch when I worked at the nursery. There was a local restaurant within walking distance that had a really good deal on lunch specials. It got to the point that they recognized our work number and we had the lunch specials memorized by number….

Corned Beef and Cabbage
Wanna hear something mind blowing, my fellow Americans? I’ve heard that corned beef and cabbage isn’t really a traditional Irish meal for St. Patrick’s Day. Whaaaaaaaaaaat? Normally I would get all geeky and research this, but I’m going to go the lazy route and simply say that corned beef and cabbage is a tradition in…
Movie Night Noms: Chicken Pot Pie
When Arc completed South Park: The Stick of Truth, we thought what better for movie night than to watch South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. Of course that only meant that I had to make chicken pot pie, riiiiight? Oh yes. Chicken freaking pot pie… I’ve done this with traditional pie dough, as you’ll see…
Beef Stew
Confession time: I didn’t like stew as a child. I was more about soup. But now I loooooove stew. Especially when it’s cold out. OMG yes. Here’s a pretty basic recipe that you can make on the stovetop if you have an hour or two until dinner. If you have longer, go ahead and assemble…
Lost Movie Night Noms: Arc’s Birthday Dinner
It was Archaellys’ birthday not that long ago and somehow I forgot to post the coordinating movie night nom for that celebration. Oops. I don’t know how it happened, but the week must have gotten away from me. It’s always kind of my thing to let the birthday celebrant pick whatever they want and I’ll…
Jerk Chicken Stew with Coconut Rice
Archaellys has fallen in love with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and I have to admit, it is a gorgeous game! This, of course, influenced our last movie night and we had a pirate theme. Treasure Island (1950) and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Naturally I wanted our noms to…
Food Porn: Carnitas
I know I tweeted this pic out the other night when I was eating it, but I just had to post the delicious carnitas here too. You know, for safe keeping. Good grief, La Piñata, you make some AMAZING carnitas.
Spicy Iranian Chicken Stew
I love my chiropractor. She’s totally like a big sister to me, and being an only, I’ve always wanted a big sister. Lauren is one of the most supportive people I know – she’s always willing to listen and help steer or give advice. In fact, she’s one of my biggest cheerleaders and gave me…
Sukiyaki
I was trying to figure out what to make that would go along with our Miyazaki night of Howl’s Moving Castle and Ponyo… There are so many delicious Japanese noms that I could make work. At first I thought about trying to figure out a gluten friendly version of ramen, since that’s what they eat…
Movie Night Noms: Scrapple and Eggs
Our movie night for December 27 is Christmas Observed in The Rumpus Room. Arc and I really wanted to have a Christmas celebration with our Twitch family, and this is the best way that we could do it. At first, I really wanted to go all out and make another Christmas dinner. I thought about…
Pulled Pork Extravaganza
Pulled Pork. Aren’t those some magical words? Pulled freaking pork. Please. Yes. It’s relatively easy to make too. I find the hardest decision to make is how to consume it. It was suggested that I turn the pulled pork into pulled pork poutine (thanks Lustymaid!) so that’s what I had for dinner. Arc also wanted…
