Fear my kitchen

[rebeccmeister]

Today was definitely a Day o' Domesticity. J came over for coffee and waffles with strawberries and chocolate ice cream. (to make popcultureicon jealous: they looked pretty much like this:

)

But before he came over, I made up some fresh hummingbird food and sewed the remainder of an apron--I'll post pics tomorrow 'cause the fabric is extra-special (in other words, it's covered in insects).

Then there might have been some sitting around and talking, and some more general lounging about at a most dilatory pace. Subsequently, I made some hummus (although I'm not entirely happy with it--it's a wee bit too tangy, probably because I had to use fake lemon juice). Then J and I helped A move furniture to her new digs, and then I came home and cooked some delicious Indian food--potatoes in a tangy tamarind sauce, and spicy yellow squash. Yum.

So lots of cooking, overall. Which is good, because now I have all sorts of delicious foods sitting around that are in need of eating, and only a moderate handful of vegetables left from various CSAs that are yet uncooked. It has been a vegetable bonanza for the past month, and I've been falling behind on eating them all. I think they are also to blame for making me too skinny. More fat! More protein! Fewer vegetables!

Wow. That's a hellava waffle.

FEWER vegetables? R, I'm ashamed! Just cook them with cheese and you'll be fine ;) Remember, Au gratin!

Re: hummus, I find that lime juice actually gets the best results - you might give it a try.

I miss you, and I'm jealous of the CSA veggies!

That waffle is making me jealous too, it looks great. But I'm not too jealous, because I have some strawberries in my fridge and I think I'll go ahead and eat some of them tonight.
