- Summer Freedom
Now that school is over for the year, I can look forward to summer and the freedom it promises. Now is the time to forget about school and think about delicious things like John Dalys, grilled pizza, and homemade ice cream on the roof top patio. With an ice cream maker begging to to be taken [...]

- Favorite Falafel– also posted in Photos, Recipes
Falafel is delicious…I think. I am very picky when it comes to falafel. Enough so that it makes me wonder how I know that I like falafel in the first place, because I can’t remember eating falafel that has met my standards of tastiness… until now. Of course the falafel we had at Sultan’s Market in [...]

- A whole new world…and it’s chilly– also posted in Photos, Recipes
Ice cream is my favorite…absolute favorite. I love it better than the roommate, who knows and accepts this fact. I probably should not have been allowed to order an ice cream maker, because this is a bad habit to feed. I ordered an ice cream attachment for my mixer (as I hang my head in [...]

- Popping power– also posted in Math, Photos, Teaching
I always forget how much I love popcorn and my wonderful popcorn maker, but then I get the stir crazy out for a batch and I am very quickly reminded. The roommate tends to give me grief for my popcorn maker, since it is slightly bulky and one of the only unitaskers in our kitchen. [...]

- Christmas Candy– also posted in Family, Photos, Recipes
What says Christmas more than overly clear sinuses, cut up fingers, and lingering fruity and spicy smell that are still apparent 2 weeks after the fact? Nothing! As much of a pain as it was at times, it was completely worth it to carry on my grandmother’s tradition of making the Christmas candy. Along with [...]

- Cranberry Orange Bread– also posted in Recipes
The roommate thought I was a little crazy for wanting to make this one. Don’t worry, after all was said and done, he was convinced it was absolutely necessary. I do love specialty breads like banana and, especially around the holidays, cranberry orange bread. This has to be one of my absolute favorites. Unfortunately, there [...]

- Back to your regularly scheduled programming– also posted in Photos, Recipes
Things I have not been doing: updating my blog, spending any time in the kitchen Things I have been doing: Teaching, moving, hosting visitors, packing, unpacking, working That list really is backwards from what I would like to be doing. I am going to try to make the changes. Let’s start off with the last [...]

- Potatoes Au Gratin– also posted in Photos, Recipes
Sometimes, when life gets a little busy grocery runs don’t happen. When I don’t get to the grocery store, we are left with no protein in the house. This means it’s potatoes and salad for dinner, which I have no problem with. Many times I don’t understand why I am not a vegetarian, and then [...]

- New Pancakes– also posted in Family, Photos, Recipes
Ever since the roommate’s mom showed us the real magic of the farm cookbook, I have reached the point in my life where I don’t know if I can ever eat regular pancakes again. Despite our excitement, we haven’t had time to actually try anything from the cookbook, but I had seen this recipe, and it scared [...]

- Take the good with the bad– also posted in Photos, Recipes
I would like for my first update after quite a hiatus to be something amazingly delicious, but it just can’t happen. Life has been so busy that I haven’t had much time for cooking recently. Last night was pizza night, and with a quick trip to trader joe’s it all went down the tubes. I [...]
