gettin' real

we're having pop corn for dinner. that's all. really. because holy humidity it's hot up here y'all. if you're wondering if this is where i turn it all around and this becomes a recipe for really awesome pop corn with bacon and hot sauce, it's not. sorry cat lady, you're gonna have to get your recipe for POP CORN elsewhere (because really???) also, if you're thinking "golly, i bet she does something really cool, where she uses corn kernels and oil and salt and teaches the kids about blessed Saint Hemma of the eye afflictions " no. just no. stop it. i'm taking a night off, the kids and Austin are watching cartoons, and i see a nice cold beer in my near future. this is real life in the cottage, just incase you were wondering. oh, friday we'll probably have filet mignon with sautéed mushrooms and some fancy something on the side, but today it's summer and we're here to relax. 

How does this work again?

Well hello..... So it's been almost a year since I posted, what with having a baby and all I've been a bit busy. I've also been suffering under this illusion that if I didn't have a recipe to talk about I didn't have anything to 'blog'. False. For instance I have an opinion regarding fish that I would like to share. Also I have recently discovered the joy of Dim Sum, and that is truly lovely. But mostly I need to pull myself out of my post partum hibernation and get back to normal life! So with much creaking and groaning and false starts I intend to get back to at least once a week posting. Oh, about the fish, Swai Basa. Delicious. I've dredged it in corn meal and fried it and it was lovely, and recently I cooked it in yellow curry with chickpeas, carrots, and butter and that was also lovely. It's great stuff, I highly recommend it.
