leggo my what?

Even an eggo can be taken to work for breakfast if you pre-toast, put some butter on and have some strawberries in a sugar syrup in tupperware.

candied yams and puddin

My uncle brought some puddin' from South Carolina so I made candied yams to go with it.

guacamole

I used 3 Haas avocados

the juice of 2 limes (use less if you don't like lime, but always use some so they don't turn brown)

salt

a dash of cumin

a garlic clove (or two)

two vine tomatoes, minced

half a sweet vidalia onion minced (use red onion if you have it, I didn't)

a handful of cilantro minced

a dash of cayenne

and more salt



I chop up the avocado into squares before mashing, put them in the bowl and then squeeze the limes over top. Cut up everything else, mash with a fork, done.

I've been a slacker

...but I'll have tons of updates as soon as I get this chili on.

pizza pizza

So I'd just come back from a night out with the MM crew and around 1ish I got hungry (the place we went to had tasty food, but small portions and I wasn't really feeling what was left on the table by the end. Awesome horchata with rum though!)

I had bought some pizza dough a couple days earlier to use the rest of my spaghetti sauce on. I didn't wait the two hours for it to be room temperature so the dough and I fought till it would stay spread out in the pan (I won!)


I put the sauce on top, some mozzarella, oregano, pepperoni from Vermont Smoke & Cure that I cut up, some cheddar and a sprinkling of Parmesan. I also added olive oil to the bottom of the pan and drizzled some on top when it was done.

Now I get to have it for lunch today!
