In my last post I talked about one of my two “go-to” meals, a big pot of yummy soup. I mentioned my other "go-to” was a big stir fry. Just like with my soup-making skillz, I feel like I’ve gotten pretty good at making a decent stir fry.
I press a block of extra-firm tofu between [...]

How I Stir Fry
Black Bean Chipotle Soup
I think my two favorite things to cook are stir fries and soup. (Mmmm…fries….oh wait. Never mind). I love them because they are easy, relatively quick to pull together, and are so adaptable. Plus there’s the potential for lots of leftovers and the ability to basically throw whatever you have in the kitchen together for [...]
My New Blue Toy
Susan was right, I got a new camera! I went with the one I’d been eyeing, a Canon Powershot SD1200 IS. It’s so much faster and smaller (yet the screen is way bigger) than my other camera and although they say megapixels don’t matter that much, my old camera was 5 MP and this one [...]
Have Twitter, will Roast Chicken
UGH I had this whole post written and then Windows Live Writer gave out on me. Serves me right for not saving often enough!
Tonight, I was going to pick up a rotisserie chicken for dinner, but when I got to the store, they were all out. Not wanting to drive to another store (what if [...]
Valentine’s Day Hike Recap and a Vegan Recipe
Hello! How was everyone’s weekend? I had yesterday off for President’s Day so today felt like a Monday, and not a normal one at that, since I was in an all-day seminar all about mobile media that was way over my head. And tomorrow at work we’re doing a press conference in the morning, which [...]
January Date Night at Zocalo Grill
I wanted to try one new restaurant a month, and after trying twice, we finally got out last Friday night and visited Zocalo Grill, which is in Old Town San Diego. Now, Old Town is pretty touristy and the Mexican food is pretty sub-par at most places in the area, but I’d heard really good [...]
Caught the Photography Bug Today
Hello there! I was kind of in hiding last week. Well, I was still reading and commenting on your blogs, but I felt uninspired to post anything to mine. So I didn’t. But now I’m back!
Today, I took a photography class hosted by my museum. (We do all kinds of programs/classes/lectures and sometimes staff can [...]
Pinot and Pizza with the BFF
Happy Last Day of 2009!
My week off is not nearly as relaxing (meaning, not nearly enough TV time) as I was hoping but I have been cooking and exercising, which were two things I wanted to do as much as possible without that pesky job getting in my way. Right now I’m mid-prep for tonight’s [...]
Frittata for the Grinch
Hello out there! I’ve got to get to bed because I have a date with my puppy and some hills in the morning. (Love my walking partner!) But I wanted to first of all say thank you for your well wishes and tips for my Boston trip. I still can’t believe I won and I’m [...]
Crock-Pot Mulligatawny Soup
Super-cool news at the bottom of this post!! Well, cool for me, anyway.
I had big plans to do lots of Christmas shopping today. Go ahead….ask me how much I got done. I did buy 1 1/2 presents online…so that’s something, right?
I was really lazy today, and honestly, it was nice. Except for the fact that [...]
