Monday, August 4th, 2008Alex got me me my very own Mr. Bento for my birthday!!! Here is the first bento lunch that I packed. (Did you know there are several bento pools on flickr?) Yes, I realize the insulated jar is supposed to be for rice, but whatevs. I think now I know why Japanese people […]
Bacon egg and cheese sandwich
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008Well, it feels like all we post about is bacon lately. Oh well. Just looking at this picture is making my mouth water, so I have no option but to continue with this post. So, here’s another use for bacon - we made home made bacon egg and cheese sandwiches for dinner […]
NY find: Bubble tea
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Well, we can get bubble tea in the Triangle, especially at the Asian shopping centers. But, they are nothing like this true cutesy-pink-Sanrio-inspired bubble tea place in Chinatown. I seized the moment and got a new flavor that I hadn’t had - kumquat and lime. It was quite delicious. […]
Oak’s makin’ bacon - Batch 2
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Blogging community watch out! To allow Carrie to focus on things other than my favorite animal I thought I would post regarding the next batch of bacon making! After completing batch 1 Carrie and I were satisfied with our first foree with bacon. It did not take us long to decide on […]
Northern breakfast: egg sandwiches and bagels
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 Well, we ended up heading up North to Oak’s old neck of the woods for the holiday weekend for some family stuff, but of course, we cannot be stopped in the pursuit of tasty treats. Like the South, the North has its own specialty breakfast items that you can’t get anywhere else.
Actually, these breakfast items are […]
Oak’s makin’ bacon - Part 2
Saturday, May 17th, 2008So, unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to post the remaining BaconCam(TM) photos at the time they were taken, so you get the entire remainder of the bacon-making experience in this single entry. I will do my best to summarize the bacon-making process as narrated by Oak.
So, the salted bacon continued to marinate in […]
Community-supported agriculture
Saturday, May 17th, 2008I don’t think I’ve blogged about our CSA membership. We’ve always been big on going to the farmers market and getting our weekly load of fresh veggies. Last year when we went on the Piedmont Farm tour, we learned about community-supported agriculture and how helpful it is to farmers. Because people sign up […]
The origin of everyone’s favorite wiggly dessert
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Apparently this is my week of nostalgic blog entries. So, in 4th grade, I played the Jell-o girl in our “History of LeRoy” play at Wolcott Street Elementary School. Because of this important acting role (my only roles in plays were in my elementary days.. sigh), I felt it was my responsibility to share […]
Oak’s makin’ bacon - part 1
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008So, among manufacturing many other meat products such as sausage and corned beef, Oak has decided to take on making bacon, thanks to the copy of Charcuterie that we got from the library. We first learned about this book when we met Michael Ruhlman. Little did we know he was not only a […]
Chicken for breakfast
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008I can’t believe that it’s just occurred to me to write about the southern phenomenon of chicken for breakfast. Back in the days when I was a Northerner, I had never heard of such a thing. In fact, I’m pretty sure the idea of a breakfast meat besides pork (in the form of bacon or […]
