Visual recipes: link love
I’ve been seeing more and more illustrated recipes and there’s a lot of amazing work out there.

They are stars to me!
Since I don’t have cable, I watch YouTube instead of Food Network.
Obligatory Paula Deen post
It must be hard to make food for a living and get sick from what you make, but still the deal w/the drug company seems sketchy.
The one time I’ve seen her show, she managed to do the impossible, as in make mac & cheese disgusting. How can this be? I even like the the powdery [...]
First you sow the seed…
I made pumpkin soup with red lentils for dinner, and lentils always make me think of Neil from The Young Ones:
Pumpkin lentil soup:
Spices to your own taste:
curry powder
anise seed (optional)
cumin seed
ground or fresh ginger
3 TBP olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can pumpkin (not the pie filling)
2/3 cup red lentils

Cheap lunches – not just for kids.
Just when I was getting tired of my regular PB&J’s I found this article in the SF Chronicle’s Food section that challenged cooks to pack 5 kid’s lunches for under 20$. I tried a veggie version of their lunch wrap recipe – I replaced the hummus w/a tofu carrot curry dip I made. Making [...]

Tomato Farmers Getting Screwed
This article really pissed me off. American tomato farmers have been getting screwed by ultimately false rumors from their own government about a salmonella outbreak, and the culprit turns out to be peppers from Mexico. So here’s a small solution. August is tomato season. Make lots of this, bring it to work in a [...]

Make Your Own F-in Lattes
I recently found out what a ghetto latte is – when I first heard the term, I thought it meant getting your lattes @a gas station. I prefer Sheetz over WaWa for gas station coffee, btw.
I don’t load up on half & half @the milk bar, but I do make my own fancy [...]

Making Tasty European recipes
Since we can’t afford Europe I thought I would try to make some food from some UK food magazines I have. The metric measurements throw me off though – sorry, I don’t remember what I learned of metric measures in the 4th grade when we were told that the metric system would take over. I [...]
100 degrees outside? Stay in and cook
It’s been oppressively hot this weekend, gas is expensive, and so I have a case of cabin fever. So I’ve been making food for the week today without heating up the kitchen.
I got some sprouted wheat bagels for breakfast this week – fewer calories, more protein. To put on top, I mixed some salted [...]

The wonders of leftover salad
I had a large bag of fake crabmeat (one of my favorites) and had to use it up. I ended up making a crab salad, with a little lemon juice, mayo and relish as usual, but I threw in raw broccoli (cut into tiny pieces) for the crunch and some wasabi for some heat. I [...]
