Simple, Aged or Both
by Krista | Jan 13, 2010 | Compatriot Wednesday
It may have been pouring rain for this week's CEC festivities, but that didn't dampen our spirits. Our theme started out as Aged (as in, we had to use recipes with aged ingredients) then some forgot and turned it into Simple Finger Foods, then Darren decided it was...
Memo, The Beautiful
by Krista | Jan 12, 2010 | Spring
It was spring in Perdifumo, Italy where I was staying at a fairytale villa with my friends Becks, Nat, Viss and Trish. It was our last day before driving to Rome to meet up with my brother Ryan and two more friends, Ben and Stace, for a 10-day drive through the...
Branny Breakfast
by Krista | Jan 11, 2010 | Winter
I'm the sort of girl who wakes up early, cheerful and absolutely ravenous! Oddly enough most of my friends can go for half the day without eating, and I'm practically perishing by the time they're even thinking of food. I love them dearly but for sheer survival I've...
Broccoli and Baebes
by Krista | Jan 8, 2010 | Fabulous Friday, Winter
It's a quiet Thursday night and I'm nursing a sore throat with salt water and hot tea. It's kinda nice to be cozy in bed, listening to Mediaeval Baebes, playing Scrabble on Facebook, and reading Anne Lamott. A few days ago I was reading my new blogger friend Chaya's...
Remy’s Marvy Mujaderra
by Krista | Jan 7, 2010 | Winter
I have been fascinated with the Middle East for as long as I can remember. My shelves are filled with books expounding on the culture, history and food of such places as Egypt, Israel and Iran. Slowly but surely I've been tasting and learning the foods of those...
Something Saucy
by Krista | Jan 6, 2010 | Winter
In honor of the lovely Kat's birthday, the theme at CEC was a saucy one, filled with recipes "where the sauce makes the dish." It was also our biggest crowd yet with 15 chattering, laughing, cooking people crammed into the kitchen whipping up all sorts of marvy...
That Fabulous Paris Dinner
by Krista | Jan 5, 2010 | Autumn
So last week as I rambled on about Versailles and the amazing desserts we had, I promised I would tell you about The Dinner. 🙂 The time has come! But first I must back up a bit, to my first night in Paris on that trip to visit my brother, Ryan. It being a fine...
Simple Noodle Soup
by Krista | Jan 4, 2010 | Winter
It's Sunday evening and I'm tucked up in bed, slurping noodle soup and thinking I'll keep my Christmas tree up for a while longer just cuz it makes me happy to see it there all twinkly and serene. It's been a wonderfully restful weekend spent in my pjs reading books,...
Cults and Comfort Food
by Krista | Jan 1, 2010 | Winter
As a girl it was desperately important to me to have the holidays go as they were "supposed to." I wanted all our family with me, all our traditions intact, and I would dissolve into tears if things weren't just right. Oddly, they were tears of grief, not frustration,...
