menu for the last week of Jan

January 23rd, 2009

With the kids asleep early and my husband at a work function, I’ve been combing the Internets for interesting recipes. Slashfood pointed me to Epicurious’ Top 10 Money Saving Ingredients which is peppered with wonderful recipes. So, here’s what we’ll be eating this week in case you want to follow along: Sunday – the school […]

eating another rainbow

January 23rd, 2009

It is just the kids, tonight. No daddy around. So Will and I decided we’d make rainbows for dinner. As we were discussing what foods we wanted to eat for each color, Will and I got into a heated debate about where crab fits into the rainbow – is it pink? Is it orange (per […]

the wine below (awesome wine storage)

the benefits of having a nepalese nanny (food)

January 15th, 2009

There are many wonderful things about our nanny, the least of which is that her husband is a chef, and she sometimes leaves me yummy Indian or Nepalese goodness. Recently, she left me a chutney which interestingly is made from the same ingredients we use to make pico de gallo, only her proportions are completely […]
