EVENT: No Cookie Left Behind

All right, I know I am lacking in posting lately. Before I get to the good stuff, let me explain what's going on. A lot. The main reason is that I have been taking some classes. One of them required me to spend the last four Monday nights learning, and the other one is a journalism class and I have to do a lot of writing. Unfortunately, after spending the whole day at work and then coming home and writing fake news articles, it's hard to get it together to write blog posts too.

But do not worry readers, I am not abandoning the three of you! This is somehow fun for me, so I'm gonna keep posting as much as I can.

So remember my last post where I talked about the Great American Bake Sale? Well if all of you are as busy/lazy as me, you won't be able to have your own bake sale. So now I have one for you to go to.

Food blogger Tannaz of All Kinds of Yum and her friends are having a bake sale and hootenanny that they call No Cookie Left Behind.

No Cookie Left Behind will take place at my FAVORITE place in Los Angeles, Scoops. (Scoops is at 712 Heliotrope Ave., just north of Melrose, between Normandie and Vermont.) Delicious treats are promised, including maple vanilla granola, fleur de sel caramel cake, pumpkin cupcakes, vegan something cupcakes, lemon bars, Mexican chocolate rice crispie treats, Persian baklava, Barefoot Contessa coconut macaroons, and more. There will be live music as well, and of course the wondrous gelato creations of Tai Kim. And me! I am for sure heading over there.

Please come and help the hungry children and eat good treats. It will be fun!

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...
