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
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 [...]
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 [...]
Blogging about Blogging
I was so proud of myself this weekend. I planned out the week’s dinners (well, through Thursday), shopped for the ingredients, made my workout schedule, etc. I felt so organized.
But then last night, Mitch suggested that instead of me taking Nina for her walk in the morning, I should take her after work instead so [...]
How to Ruin Chicken in 4 Easy Steps
Step 1:
Decide that since you’re eating so much chicken lately, it’s probably a good idea to buy high-quality meat. Get free-range, hormone-free boneless skinless chicken breasts from Trader Joe’s and pay double what you spent on the frozen Tyson chicken from Costco.
Step 2:
Ask your boyfriend, if he has time, to grill the chicken for you [...]
Finally, Fish That’s Not Dried-Out
Happy Sunday! I need to make this quick because I’m seeing a play with my mom tonight, but I wanted to check in and share a cool trick I learned for preparing fish. I don’t cook fish that often because Mitch doesn’t like it, but I love fish so I’m glad my new meal plan [...]
Turkey Sloppy Joes, Per Request
I’m glad I’m not the only one that experiences the potato fingers! It’s pretty freaky.
I was on my own for dinner tonight, so I was all set to heat up some soup I had stored in the depths of my freezer. But when Mitch texted me and asked if I’d make something for him [...]
Healthy Twist: Barbecue Bacon Meatloaf
I uploaded this recipe from Word, and now the font’s all small. How do I fix that? I get so annoyed when I’m learning a new technology…I want to know it all NOW! Ok, rant aside.
Tonight’s recipe was created because Mitch asked me to find a recipe for BBQ Bacon Meatlof. So I hit the [...]
Not my best stir fry
Two nights, two blog posts! Not bad if I do say so myself.
For dinner tonight, I was on my own since Mitch has night class. When I’m cooking for one, I either a) get lazy and eat something from the freezer, e.g., the amazing vegan enchiladas from Trader Joe’s, or b) I cook something for [...]
