fish tacos (...shut up)

2008-07-07T03:12:13Z

One of the things I've been trying to do in the kitchen is find uses for tilapia, a freshwater, farmed fish. The pros and cons of this fish are well known: cheap and sustainable, but usually bland (WHY do they make sashimi out of this now? Frakkin...

You don't know pain until you've had your uterus scraped raw for a biopsy! I will never complain about Pap smears again, that's nothing compared to a good ol' fashioned D&C. I almost fell down in the driveway when I got home. Ugh. And JoCo is wai...

spinach orzo and art angst

2008-06-05T18:48:59Z

Experimenting with slightly healthier and cheaper ways to get my spinach orzo salad fix. $9/lb at Whole Paycheck is a bit indulgent given that I never have leftovers after one sitting. Doing half spinach and half chard for the base, with a little ...
