birthdayed out.

ok, so it wasn't like this photo. this is a picture of me eating a burger at minetta tavern in 2010.

but the birthday girl consumed: a 1000-seed date and banana muffin, coffee, a raspberry-filled cupcake with passionfruit buttercream, a diet dr pepper (which tastes NOTHING like the real thing), a handful of fries, half a sandwich (that's all i packed; i knew what i was in for), a carrot, a handful of potato chips, a pint of stout, a burrito, and a negra modelo.

OH yes, i did. people just kept feeding me.

without proof.

friday night = spinach and mushroom enchiladas with tomatillo salsa. recipe from homesick texan (from the book, not the website). no photographs of any of it. the messiest masterpiece i've made in a while.

stuffed.

i might have just consumed the biggest bowl of pasta i have ever had. it's also probably smaller than most bowls of pasta consumed in america. i am sure there's data on pasta.

dubliners.

OMG. have i mentioned the demise of the dublin dr pepper? it's over. totally over. as in, it is no longer being manufactured. (although apparently there is a fight but i think it is pretty hard to beat coca cola.)

let's talk about a love. a soda love. made with imperial sugar. from sugar land, for christsakes. a delicious, delicious treat without the high-fructose corn syrup i detest. and now, it's over. oh my holy hell.

yeah, so.

i've been totally slacking at this blogging, wearing my "driving googles," as casey calls them, mostly to drive his dog (who seems to have a thing for australian shepherds) back and forth to the dog park while he vacationed in jackson hole. YEAH, seriously.

 

however, last week, he returned and so i am back in action, crafting it up with miss alex and baking sage biscuits and drinking dark beers and eating fried eggs. not all at one time. but mostly.

 

i swear i will tell y'all more things. sometimes life just gets in the way, which is kinda sorta why you can just read my twitter and know all of the minutia of my eating life. 

just like.

all the necessary food groups: coffee, fried egg, beans, greens, tomatoes, fruit.

one more.

the last week before class included cooking, reading, reading cookbooks, eating greasy beans, carrots, and peanut butter sandwiches, and drinking too much coffee brewed in the chemex.
