Go to cooking school with Martha Stewart (Asheville Citizen-Times)

Get ready for Martha 101.

Home free

Ready to go out God, it feels good to be home! I was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon, having apparently passed the kidney stones (and also, apparently, averting the desire of one of the OBs to INDUCE LABOUR — he must be INSANE to think I could go through childbirth without first recovering from the kidney stones!) and spent the rest of the time in Vancouver running around to grocery stores and hospital appointments and cooking fiddly recipes full of cream and butter in wh

Trading Used Cooking Oil for Biodiesel

The folks in El Paso, Texas now have a way to get rid of their old, used cooking grease and fill up their gas tanks. This story from KVIA-TV in El Paso says it’s a new pilot program offered by the city to turn the grease into biodiesel: The service is free and available to residents who pay a solid waste disposal fee to the city. Officials advise residents to never wash cooking fats, oil or grease down the drain, as they can cause the sewer line to back up into homes or in the storm drains, w

Avoid ‘unhappy meals’ when illness strikes

photo by synaptic happenings In a past column, I talked about taking care of yourself when you’re sick. Several readers reached out and said their homes fell apart whenever they were sick. Apparently, taking that much-needed break would result in more work for them to face than if they forced themselves to press on and cook.

wtf is wow

This is one of times when I am blogging at such a bizarre time when you guys are busy making eyecrusts. My mind is empty and I am not depressed, furious nor happy. I am just…emotionless right now.

Chicken rice.

Lobster Gyoza!

Lobster gyoza, harrrahh! When you are only cooking for one, you don’t need to make a million gyoza. And if you buy the wrappers you save hours and hours. When Mr. Tess is out of town, I have trouble sleeping for a few days because I tend to ignore bedtime, because I take a nap in the evening. Then I’m hungry, but I’m only cooking for myself so it’s usually a bowl of pasta with garlic, butter, and cheese (sardines are good, too, but don’t tell)
