I’m at a loss this week for a topic, maybe I’m experiencing quarantine ennui as opposed to regular old ennui. Continue reading Sunday Food Thread 6/7

So last week my stepson who’s sheltering in with us found a recipe for fried chicken sandwiches in Bon Apetit. I’m not super fond of chicken but even I raved about how good these were. We deep fried them in … Continue reading I did a crazy thing. Sunday Food Thread 5/31

We’ve been doing a ton of cooking which means we’ve also been eating a ton of leftovers (disclaimer, header image looks nothing like reality). Bought burrito sized flour tortillas so a lot of things have been turned into a burrito. … Continue reading Leftover Sunday Food Thread 4/19
