I know, I know… We’re way behind on posting photos or even real honest-to-goodness updates or, well, anything really. So, here’s some food to show we still love you. Or to at least tide you over until we get the photo factory rolling along again.
Evan’s Pressure-Cooker Dhal (Indian Lentil Curry Soup)
Ingredients:
1 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil [...]
“Daddy? Please can you make me some mackincheese, please? With just cheese.”
“Instead of what?”
“Instead of mackin.”
What would you do?
A quick search of our cupboard and the food shelves downstairs revealed that we’re out of the Annie’s organic Mac ‘n’ Cheese, and while we do have an old stash of the regular blue box stuff, [...]
We had another nice relaxing Thanksgiving with the Hesses, the Mashlans, and Auntie Bonnie.
Thanks (heh) to Rona’s new wheat / milk / egg-free food plan, we had to get creative with some of our dishes. Several things were doubled up, with traditional and alternate versions. It was all good.
Ala Alton Brown, we brined the turkey [...]
Yesterday Rona got a Japanese eggplant out to cook and eat for lunch, but Keegan needed (demanded) her so I took over. A quick Googling turned up a nice simple quasi-recipe (more a narrative than an actual recipe). Here’s my interpretation, since I didn’t have scallions, garlic chives, or raw sugar crystals:
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive [...]
Still no little one, so Zo and I made brownies today. I was cruising through some food blogs and came across this new one to me, World on a Plate. Beautiful photos and this delicious recipe for brownies from scratch. It was super easy! We have been snacking on them all afternoon. Enjoy!

We had our first annual Green Ronin Publishing Summit this weekend, wherein we got to know one another (with over 90% of us in the same place for the first time since back when we had four people in the company), fine-tuned a bunch of processes, talked shop and smack, and—most importantly—ate!
Nicole made her world-famous [...]
I started writing this post last night, and then our power went out. I found a flashlight, tried to make sure all the lightswitches were off and the windows closed, and went to bed. Here’s Take Two:
We’ve been promising to post our slow-cooker chili recipe since before Zoey was born, but no such luck. [...]
It has been feeling more like fall these days in Seattle. The tempurature is in the 60’s. It has been rainy, but with little bits of sunshine. And with the fall, starts school. Zoey’s new co-op preschool starts on Monday. I am now a part of the board for her co-op. I am on the [...]
