High Heels in the Kitchen. Cooking is as new to me as marriage. Tuesday, November 3, 2009. Cubicle Lunch: Leftover Fish. Today, I'm the annoying girl who brings fish for lunch. I hate that girl. The fish is left over from last night's experimental dinner. To truly understand and appreciate this experiment, you must know that F. Cheez-Its and barely tolerates fish. It didn't work too well, honestly —. Which is why there are leftovers for my lunch. Tuesday, November 03, 2009. May 22, 2009. May 25, 2009.

High Heels in the Kitchen: Fish and Flowers
http://highheelsinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2009/06/fish-and-flowers.html
High Heels in the Kitchen. Cooking is as new to me as marriage. Thursday, July 2, 2009. This is my first time making whole fish. As advised by various fish-focused websites, I looked for trout with unclouded eyes and shiny scales. These two were bright and glistening, which I found mildly intimidating. I'm used to fillets without skin or eyes- or teeth. Worse than the flopping was the tingle under my fingertips as I massaged gritty rosemary mixture into its moist scales. He watched me as I rubbed.

Set the plate before us and we beheld a huge pig mask—with holes where the eyes and snout used to be, and glistening pockets of fat beneath the cheeks. We wanted to eat it, or at least want. Her seco...

High Heels in the Kitchen. Cooking is as new to me as marriage. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. A Very Special Pig. Really big pig image courtesy of Jonny Hunter. The ding of the microwave has just sounded the completion of a Lean Cuisine. We scarf it right out of the plastic tray in front of our computers, barely tasting the flash-frozen peas and dry chicken. But that’s OK, because in this fast-paced, pre-packaged world, food is just fuel to keep the machine running. The Underground Food Collective. 8212;inclu...

High Heels in the Kitchen: A Good Man
http://highheelsinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2009/06/good-man.html
High Heels in the Kitchen. Cooking is as new to me as marriage. Monday, January 11, 2010. I haven't written in awhile because I've been in Scranton, PA, renowned for The Office. And not much else. More to come on that. In short, I saw my best friend become an Elder of the church and spent a glorious few days at home with my parents. When I finally got back to Chicago on a chilly June night, homesick and smelling like airplane, F greeted me from the kitchen where he was making me dinner. June 13, 2009.
