ESCs #27 and #28

[Insert usual apology for the lack of pictures; as is manifestly apparent at this point, I can’t cook and take photos at the same time….] ESC #26 had a Southwest Asian vibe. The fish curry and samosas were the standouts. The cauliflower was fine, and the golden compote, while promising on paper, turned out tooContinue reading “ESCs #27 and #28”

Honestly I feel like we all better watch out….

Drama Queen/I Have Notes…for Black

See—this is why I keep old journals….so I can go through them and self-plagiarize for this blog. Until I found that journal, I forgot how angry the ending of Black made me when I watched it in 2018, so I couldn’t be happier about doing an “I Have Notes” post on it. This is alsoContinue reading “Drama Queen/I Have Notes…for Black”

Kimchi Grilled Cheese and Doenjang Tomato Soup

I cannot believe I haven’t posted on this as this has been my go-to easy, quick comfort meal when I’m not feeling good or it’s crummy out, for at least the last 3 years. Maybe it was because I kept messing around with the tomato soup b/c I didn’t feel like I had it dialedContinue reading “Kimchi Grilled Cheese and Doenjang Tomato Soup”

Gosha Helps Aziza Shell Almonds

…and helps himself to some apples; crow beaks are no joke. I feel like I told this story on this blog already, but WordPress’s search function sucks, so I’ll tell it again. I found an injured crow, when I was like 10 or 12, and our friend Pat Oldham let me rehab him under herContinue reading “Gosha Helps Aziza Shell Almonds”

ESC #26

This one had a sort of late-summer-at-an-Argentinian-estancia theme. It was all pretty good, but the lomo al trapo stole the show—as you would expect from a $90 piece of meat that you wrap in a red-wine soaked dish towel and throw into a fire…as long as it comes out right, which it did b/c it’sContinue reading “ESC #26”

Loading…Review of Highland Song

Just finished playing this game through 3 times. Yep, you read that right—and this from a person who hates repeating anything. But part of the mystery and charm of Highland Song is that you never make the same journey twice. Moira is 15 and hates her mom in the unserious way that most 15-year-olds do.Continue reading “Loading…Review of Highland Song”
