Food Food Food

Just a quick blog tonight, too tired, and full from getting my munch-on with antipasto and crackers... Still addicted to Vietnamese food, especially from Basil or Pho Thanh. Especially the grilled pork and spring rolls with Vermicelli noodles, and Andy loves the spicy sate beef soup from Basil.

We're still planning some big changes for this blog, and a huge challenge on our part! It will be a fun, food filled adventure!

Planning on doing something with pork chops in the slow cooker tomorrow. Found an amazing site from a cookbook author, all about her adventures with the slow cooker--she is an excellent cook and writer, and the food looks so incredibly good! Can't wait to try all of her recipes. Make sure you check it out, at A Year of Slow Cooking, by Stephanie O'Dea. Yum-o!

Getting the munchies again, so it's off to bed!

Trust Me, I Didn't Starve For A Year And A Half

Okay, I admit it, I'm a horrible blogger. I start off amazingly well, get uber excited about the whole theory of blogging, spend countless hours--okay, maybe partial hours--on the computer, staring at a blank page, wondering what kind of food has excited me enough to actually share it! It's been over a year and a half since my last blog. I have not starved. In fact, as my waistline proves, I dove head first into the food world. Seriously, I am sitting beside a piece of lasagna that keeps muttering my name. Sadly, I won't write too much about the lasagna. It's not homemade, far from it really. It was a frozen lasagna that I had a coupon for. It pains me to tell my readers that, as I am a firm believer in the motto: "Make it yourself or don't eat it". That being said, I'm not adverse to some good chinese take out, as I can't seem to master the proper dosing of MSG, or the copious amounts of gooey greasy sticky sweet sauce that seems to enrobe almost every dish on the menu. Nope, not adverse at all. Or Vietnamese take out, seems to be the food addiction we have succumbing to as of late. Or a hot bubbly, old school pizza--Stolo's pizza is killer by the way.... but I digress...

My partner in crime and I were discussing some ideas for this blog, something fun and to jazz it up. It will be an adventure for us, healthy, but fun nonetheless...and an experience. But I will still post all my fabulous food finds, my munchie patrols, and delish recipes, without fail.

So, leave your comments, your cravings and your foodie finds in the comment section. And enjoy food, embrace it, and have fun with it! And tomorrow, I'm cooking a turkey... did you know you can beer-can cook a turkey on the bbq? I'm going all old school on the bird tomorrow, but for future, makes a girl curious! Especially a girl who spatchcocked a chicken like Martha, with no fear.....
