As per SaintInsomniac's request, I will continue to post a recipe when I make something good.
Most awesome baked potato
Start with a medium to large russet potato, preferably organic.
(Yes, I love the fancy potatoes too, but you want a plain brown one like the ones your midwestern mama kept on hand.)
Cut off all the funny bits.
Wash it and dry it...

Too long between posts...
I hadn't realized it was so long.
Since I last posted, I roasted a chicken (recipe to follow), made risotto for the first time in 9 months, and got a job selling cheese at the greenmarket in my neighborhood.
The job actually came out of the risotto in a way. I was up walking around on a rainy Thursday morning, passing...

Trust me, people, her risotto is something to pine for. Look at me, pining away.
So, hon, are you going to make recipies a common feature of your journal? I'm wholeheartedly for the idea.

I'm all moved but not all unpacked.
I do not have any birthday festivities planned for this weekend (even though I thought I would) because Mr Boyfriend ended up having to work this weekend as well as late on my birthday. But he did surprise me with a cake on my birthday. And since we were still in the studio at that point, he made...

Congratulations, hon! You're living the dream!

Good idea on what to say to my coworkers! 
Hope that you're living it up in New York and that your job hunt is going well!

And I'm moving tomorrow, moving and cleaning. Busy week. I'll be celebrating in style (with food) this weekend.

How did the move go? Enjoying the new place?

If ice cream were a planet, I'd be an avocado.
However, given our new definition of planet, it seems unlikely though not entirely impossible. Since I most probably will not be an avocado anytime soon, I will just have to get my hair cut tomorrow. Will definitely post photos.
Also, to you SGDCers who said my octopus was smaller than expected... Octopus Kills Shark...

Which play did you see?
Which play did you see?
After having basically the same haircut since 8th grade, I am now a Bumble and Bumble University hair model. This means they'll cut my hair for free every 2 months and I can get it styled however often I like. My first cut is on the 30th. I win! Prepare for changes.
The woman evaluating me loved my hair. She was totally amazed at the...

The eating in Mexico actually went a lot better than I thought! I ended up eating lots of good food (and all vegan!)
silvereve:
no, no. you're message do hickey should read "If ice cream were a planet, I'd be an avocado." Pickle confuses me.
I really would like to post the images, but until I find the usb cable or find a way to dump the images from the camera, we must wait just a little bit longer for the images to be emmancipated. Soon, I promise.

Back in New York. Trying to get my gumption up.
Made a food pilgrimage to the Doughnut Plant yesterday, and while ambling along, munching my doughnut, discovered The Pickle Guys on Essex St. I got a quart of full-sour pickles and they are awesome. I can't wait to try their kraut, tomatoes, carrots, anything but olives.
This makes me so happy I'm no longer stuck...

As if I don't get around enough...
I'm in Florida this week, visiting my guy's parents. Yeah. Eating all sorts of weird things, and I don't have the heart to tell you what (some of them involve that unwholesome bitch Betty Crocker--forgive me).
So I come down here and I'm the pale girl. No, I did not go to the beach. Or a pool. Or...

Told my boyfriend's mother what santorum is--during lunch
one of my news anchors asked me what it was during a commerical break. as soon as we cut back to live and on the air - she still had an utter look of disgust on her face.
i was laughing so hard in my head that i was afraid i was going to inturupt the newscast with my brainwaves of hilari-osity.

Hehe, lunch is not the best time to explain those things. 
I had the best dessert last night.
Frozen strawberries and blueberries sprinkled with brown sugar and tossed with just a little balsamic vinegar. Vanilla ice cream on top.
What you want to do is dovetail this with the making of dinner so that when you're waiting for the pot to boil (or whatever) you're prepping the berries. Don't put the ice cream on until you're...

Sounds good. You should come over and make me some of that.
Oh, wait. Damn.
Miss you, hon!

I am gone. Thank you, DC, for a year's worth of memories. And hello, New York.
Don't blame me for staying inside and watching every decent episode of the first season of Babylon 5 today. I can't remember when I last sat on my ass all day.
Tomorrow I will explore my new neighborhood, cash in a shitload of change at the bank, gawk at...

I should be back in the city around 7:00 pm or so. If you'd like, I can let you know where I'm going to be and we can meet up.
