During a recent visit, my mom politely reminded me that I haven't posted here in nearly two months... It's not that I haven't wanted to write. It's just that I haven't had much to share.
In the 3 months that we've lived in LA, I can count on two hands how many times I've turned on the oven to create a proper meal. LA is the land of salads and fast stove top sautes. Plus, we've been adjusting to our new schedule (including my husband's crazy commute), which means quick meals - sometimes even impromptu trips to grab a bite out, even on a weeknight - are in order.
This weekend, I did make these awesome veggie burgers - which took nearly 2 hours, but were delicious (and made extras, so now we have half a dozen stashed in the freezer for future).
I have had a few baking incidents, including those lemon bars that ended up being waaaaay too tart (And pithy. Next time I won't include the rind, as directed.) And a funny little episode with a Dutch Baby where I wound up using 4 times the amount of flour instructed and jammed the Cuisinart. (As a wise owl - ahem, mom! - has oft repeated: Read the recipe at least twice before you start. Now I know why!)
I'm also not quite sure where I am with meat vs. vegetarianism. Oh yeah, that old debate. It's resurrected!
All told, I haven't felt there's that much worthy of sharing - but at least now I have an entry in my time-log for 2012!
More soon, I hope - including the continued quest for that Glenwood Tomato Soup. My current question: Is it Velveeta?

Hi Amy, I came across your blog because of your post about traveling to Puerto Rico. My husband (who's from Puerto Rico) and I were married in 2003 too. Anyways, I'm in Seattle now but originally from TX. I look forward to reading about what you're attempting next!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Ann! Hooray for 2003 weddings! We just celebrated our anniversary in Palm Springs. I need to write something up! :)
