Massive Update Part One

Published by Jooree under Uncategorized

I have a history of unfinishedness. Books, cleaning, studies, the list goes on…SO

I apologize for the blogging absence…. which I promise I will do with renewed fervor since now that I’m not doing much…. working part time frees up a lot of time…

So first on my list is Hannah’s birthday, which was back a WHILE ago…

I should not wear lip color for the fear of looking like a whore

Getting ready…

Caroline's Wedding

Caroline had her wedding shower…….. I hope she used the cookie sutra book to good use!

Then, Sandy, Joanne, and I had a spontaneous SF trip to see Sabrina and relax for Memorial Day Weekend
House of Nanking

We mostly hung around chinatown

The House of Nanking has a large bag of mixed reviews on chowhound, mostly from chinese purists who claim that it is oversauced and the same type of sauce is used on everything.

Spontano SF trip

I was inclined to agree but that sauce was so damn tasty.

I finally had REAL coffee at an italian place where we sat for dessert.

Joanne needed some love from Sandy

CORN…. or something like it

Published by Jooree under Food

Now I have this unhealthy obsession with corn. I believe on the second date with the boyfriend I stated the fact that I love corn because the shape holds through in the end. (and if you don’t understand it, think about how all food ends). He has fond memories of this statement and to this day I don’t understand why he’s still here.
I do love corn. Slathered in butter, the awesome large corn at Magic Mountain that is SO goddamn expensive, sweet awesome amazing white corn, canned corn, frozen corn, corn salsa, corn chowder. I’ve half made up my mind to make hominy, which is hulled white corn, after reading about it from The Little House Cookbook.

SO, in light of all this, I have discovered a tool which I covet from Sur La Table. Totally and completely covet…

OXO Corn Stripper

What a glorious new way to eat corn…… and such a sexy name…..

And you thought I was going to post something useful….!
