MISC.: Happy Birthday to Me!

Everybody thinks that their pet is the cutest and the smartest. But does YOUR dog get you a birthday present? And even if he does, does he wrap it HIMSELF?

"KT Treat"

"Birthday By Buster"

I didn't think so.

I think we know whose dog is really the cutest and smartest.

I don't know yet! J. went to bed before midnight so I can't open my presents till I get home from work today. I can't imagine! Where do dogs shop?

Happy Birthday!

Me too! I'm pretty sure I saw a dog at Sur La Table before, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :)

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

I was going to leave a terrible pun but it escaped me. Maybe the Jeremiad can pitch in?

Happy belated birthday! My dog (also named Buster!) has only ever given me a card, I'll have to get on him about that.

I've just discovered your blog, thanks to s'cool, and it's very nice!

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

I have learned that my dog shops at the Alton Brown website. Which makes sense, because he lays on the couch with me every time I watch 'Good Eats' and he must have heard me say how much I would love one of those salt cellars a million times.

Good dog! Maybe I can have him give a talk to your dog, maybe take him shopping!

INFO: How to Dry Tomatoes

It's the end of summer and tomatoes are everywhere. Lovely round red tomatoes and multi-colored lumpy misshapen heirloom tomatoes and cute little cherry and grape tomatoes and oblong, flavorful roma tomatoes. And along with the tomatoes, tomato recipes abound. Capreses and salads and sauces and sandwiches--it seems impossible sometimes to find a dish that DOESN'T have tomatoes in some form. So what's a girl to do when tomatoes are everywhere and ... she hates tomatoes? Why, dry the tomatoes of course! Dried tomatoes are so very different than fresh tomatoes. So different as to be a different fruit altogether. And I like dried tomatoes. Dried tomatoes are sweeter and that green flavor I don't like so much seems to get baked right out, replaced by a rich warmth that is much tastier to my palate. Also the chewy, meaty texture is more pleasing to me than the weird firm-yet-squishy texture of even a tomato grown with all the tender loving care of its farmer. Generally I purc...

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a...
