What matters is that it's been raining so hard for the past few days I ... http://www.feedingfashionistas.com/archives/186 George's bday just passed and we're having a little shin-dig for him this Friday. I'm trying to pick the cupcakes du jour we're going to celebrate with and I came across these lovelies.... Like, whoah.

We've been on what feels like the longest hiatus ever. I think it's safe to say George and I are bad at blogging. Not cooking, but about writing it down in between eating. It's time to remedy that problem because... well... we've got some good stuff that happens in ... http://www.feedingfashionistas.com/archives/181 I just got done cooking a batch of candied golden beets.

Leave a comment on that, too. http://www.feedingfashionistas.com/archives/145 I decided to stay in tonight and whip up what I expected to be a mess of a date night dinner. Turns out I proved myself wrong, and that it was actually post-worthy. Delicious, in fact. It's one of those days when the groceries are dwindling and I had to dig ... http://www.feedingfashionistas.com/archives/143 That's right... This onion/poblano pepper/seitan/roquefort omelet and breathtaking heirloom tomato were breakfast today, and my first post in a LONG time to my beloved FF (sustained by the expert hand of Patrice while I was away) is on deck for this weekend.
