I know, I know. Tapas are so over. But that doesn’t make them less fun to eat out doors. To celebrate the coming of summer, we had our first outdoor dinner of the year. Well, maybe not really our first since we did have a barbecue a few weeks ago, but one of our first. Will made [...]
Will and I heard about this recipe over the weekend while we were listening to The Splendid Table. It seemed like an easy and hearty meal, so I attempted to make it for dinner last night. I thought it would be a one-pot meal, but the recipe said to cook the barley separately. For the [...]
I had this mess for dinner tonight. Tofu scrambled with kale, onions, pasilla pepper, home-made red sauce and deep fried tortillas.

I was craving something ridiculously trashy this week and realized I haven’t cooked with jackfruit in years. It was also nice that cans of green jackfruit was on sale at the Asian market for $0.79!
