Huh, I will have to try it...

I'm about to go make poutine.

Is there anything better than pesto? I mean honestly.

wow starbucks sure did fail at the skinny peppermint mocha...i want my $5 back

I'm spending some time learning how to bake, because 1) it is like science, except instead of a proven hypothesis the end result is deliciousness, 2) getting to know how to work with yeast is a good precursor to brewing beer (which I can't do in my already-too-crowded apartment), and 3) a dude who can walk into any kitchen in the world and make bread is COMPLETELY RAW.

The loaf of bread last week came out pretty good for a first try. I'm basically repeating the process today to get more familiar.

Sure you just didn't get a shitty barista? I love it.

I  dunno, it tasted like ass (er what I imagine ass tastes like...), I'm back to regular peppermint mochas, at least I will be once I'm back to a country that has starbucks

Three words: Salted Caramel Macarons. *homerdroool*

I've also started the habit of drinking sparkling water with all my desserts. It's like they go hand in hand. Seriously.

I made ginger chicken last night but cranked up the dried red chilies in it.  Tasted awesome, but I am definitely paying for it this morning!  8-p

IT BURNS, BURNS, BURNS, THAT RING OF FIRE! ;p

Switched from being addicted to those macarons to now kheer (rice pudding).
It's the (slightly) fresh green cardamom that draws me in :|


The Englishman has also been versing me in "good" teas this week. PG Tips seem to be the winner for me.

[r00]

I<3 cardamom pods.

WAYYY too much food and booze over the past week. Gotta love holidays. Back on the wagon..

I had my first slice of pecan pie EVER at the new house for Thanksgiving. Why did no one tell me that shit was amazing?

[boom]

Because pecan pie has like 900 calories a slice. Seriously, look it up, it's something ridiculous like that.

I only get to cook twice a week due to my work schedule so tonight we're having roasted chicken thighs and potatoes. A definite staple in this house because it's cheap as hell and tastes delicious.
