Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog. Monday, August 24, 2009. The first time I had chilaquiles was for breakfast, served with huevos divorciados. Basically just stale tortillas cooked in sauce. Nothing fancy, but just. so. good. I've gotten chilaquiles at restaurants a few times, but this weekend I finally made the dish myself. Out came my Rick Bayless. Cookbook and away I went, with some additions. I put leftover cooked chicken into the mix, along with peppers from the garden. 3 chipotle chiles in adobo.

Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog: July 2009

Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. The farmers market is in full swing, and one of my favorite purchases are beets. I'm obsessed. Usually I just roast the and eat them plain, with maybe a bit of salt and pepper. Or make a simple salad, like this one. There's just something about these earthy root vegetables, their abundance (all the vendors have them) and the act of roasting a whole mess of them at once. Beets encapsulate everything I love about the farmers market. But not for me...

Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog. Friday, May 22, 2009. Busy times call for wimpy posts. I've been so busy with fixing up the new house and preparing for the movers to come (where are. Those guys, they were supposed to be here by now) that I haven't had time to document all this stuff that I really would like to keep track of. So here are some pictures of stuff, it's faster than writing. Shiny refinished hardwood floors. I am afraid to stand on them. Do you all recognize this cow-on-a-stick?

Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog: October 2009

Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog. Tuesday, October 6, 2009. My love-hate relationship with The Barefoot Contessa. Sometimes it's just something vague about her husband, Jeffery, joining her for dinner. That I can handle. But the last show I watched was ridiculous. Her dear friend's daughter had just finished med school exams in New York, so Ina decided to make a celebratory dinner for her and her friends. And then there was some subplot about Genevieve (of course. 2 cups all-purpose flour. Press 2 cups...

Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog: December 2009

Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog. Thursday, December 31, 2009. A lot has happ. All was not well in 2009, though. That new house? Robbers liked it, too. And April ended at my agency in the worst way: layoffs. I was lucky to be spared, but morale was damaged and the mood around the office is still not great. There were two family deaths, one especially heartbreaking. I'm looking forward to carrying over all the good stuff from 2009 into the new year, and leaving the rest behind. I'm looking at you.

Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog. Monday, March 30, 2009. Wild Brews for Wild Women. Last night I attended the latest installment of the Tasting Women Series at Sugar Maple. These tasting events are for ladies who want to learn about beer in a Beer Snob Free Zone. This month Janine, one of the bartenders, spoke about spontaneously fermented beers like lambics and gueuzes, which are sour, funky tasting brews. I happen to love them, so I was all about this tasting. See that first step, the Cool Ship?

Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. I love reading advice columns. I don't know what it is about them that gets me, the satisfaction of knowing that other people are so dense they can't figure out if they should stop winking at their naked neighbor, or the fun of yelling at the Sunday paper, "No, Carolyn Hax, some feelings aren't OK to have! If you're an advice column junkie like me, you'd get it.). My boyfriend, "Beau," and I moved in together and already we have trust issues....

Super Awesome Crafty Fun Time Blog. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Preparations are underway already. The bread is cubed and drying for stuffing. The pumpkin cheesecake bars are baking. The wine is being sipped. I even have something resembling table decor. I know, I think I must have hit my head on something. I decided on fruit and nut because it turns out that all my recipes this year have nuts in them. Look at all the bags of stuff from Trader Joe's! Monday, November 23, 2009. When to cook it? I've sta...
