Alcohol

We cracked open the first bottle of home brew last night! It was seriously awesome. Here you can see Jesse and John celebrating......

Then today Heidi and I made lemoncello! Right now it is just vodka with lemon rhind soaking in it, and in about two months when it is done, we will add simple syrup to it. The perfect thing to welcome spring.

We also made vanilla extract! Vodka with whole vanilla beans soaking in it. This too will take about two months.

I cannot stop looking at these beautiful bottles, perched in my kitchen window. We went to "The Container Store" this morning, because what better place is there to find a wide variety of bottles and jars? Plus, I had a gift card.

Tofu Wontons

Here are the ingredients for tonight's dinner:

Seems simple enough, right? It was super simple, just a little time consuming when it came to assembly. To be honest, I did not mind. What else do I have to do on a cold slushy night while I am waiting for Lost to come on? I have to give Jesse credit for the delicious soy sesame dipping sauce.

Polenta Pizza

I am back on the wagon! I have been baking, and cooking, so much lately, and decided that it is time to share again. Shall I just post ideas and pictures? Or recipes as well? I would love some feedback. Also, sorry for my shitty pictures, it seems as though there is no way around it. Too bad I do not live with Carina! Anyway, here is tonight's dinner, polenta pizza. The only thing I would have done differently is pre-bake the crust a bit, before topping it and baking it some more. Topping it and then baking it did not quite do the job, but it was awesome anyway.

Happy New Year?

It has been almost three months since I have posted something. Now all I have to say is, I just gave myself an enema. It was my first one ever, and it was only partially satisfying. After eating numerous fiber filled foods yesterday, and getting nothing but the worst stomach cramping ever, and spending half the night curled up in a ball crying, I needed some relief. I have been having stomach problems again, and my appointment with the GI doctor is not for two weeks. My mom told me to take milk of magnesia, so Jesse is stopping at CVS on his way home from work.
