Breakfast – Shake. Cup of tea.
Lunch (Dinner?)- some sort of meat and cheese ensemble gathered from the meat and cheese drawer.
Dinner (Supper?)- Grilled pork with peanut sauce. Rice. Broccoli. Chocolate bunny leftover from Easter.
There will probably be a snack later.
There, I think I kept my promise.

The Year of Punch – Week Three
Posted in cooking, tagged Celebration, cooking, Punch on 13 January 2009 | Leave a Comment »
No pictures for the moment – my computer was infected last week and, after a fun stint as IT girl for my own house, I haven’t found the photo software yet. But, let me assure you the punch was beautiful and I will add pictures when I can.
*Edited to add – Pictures below!

The Year of Punch – Week Two

I couldn’t wait a whole seven days to make more punch. (What is happening to me??) This was good, but I think I like pink punch better than orange/yellow punch. We shall see.
It was pretty in the pitcher.
And pretty in the glass.
Simple Citrus Punch
6 Cups chilled lemonade
4 Cups chilled seltzer water

The Year of Punch – Week One

As 2009 has been officially declared The Year of Punch, I broke out the big pitcher and headed to the store for juice and ginger ale. Punch everyday seemed like a good way to completely negate the no-Pepsi plan, so we’ve opted for a punch a week. 52 (hopefully) glorious sparkling beverages await us this year.

CAP planned last night’s meal – quesadillas from Rachel Ray (am I the only cook out there that can’t make a 30-minute meal in less than an hour?), green salad and gluten-free sponge cakes. Everything was delicious, especially the dessert. We bought raspberries from the farmers’ market to top the cakes, but Pablo was the [...]
Dessert!

Pablo is taking a couple of weeks off from kitchen duty and so I feel obligated to dig out the 1960’s cookbooks and make super fun (sometimes scary) meals. Last night’s dinner was from McCall’s 1965 Picnic and Patio Cookbook. Chili, polenta, and lemon fluff. I had planned to make a vegetable, but got distracted by [...]

My Pablo comes from a north-side Chicago Italian family. These people love food. Most especially pasta and bread – the stuff I can’t eat anymore. When we found out I had celiac disease almost four years ago, the news was received with mixed emotions. On the one hand, we finally understood why I was ALWAYS [...]

Last summer, we purchased a farm share from one of our local Community Supported Agriculture farms. Each week for sixteen weeks, we received a box stuffed full of fresh vegetables. Not being particularly connected to the growing seasons (read: totally ignorant), we were never sure what to expect and each box brought fun surprises. Having this supply [...]
Morning After

The morning after a big thunderstorm always looks different than other mornings. Our alley is covered in water – probably only a couple of inches, but it looks like a brown, mini-Mississippi River out there.
A busy evening with Baby A left no time really for chopping things to make soup, so I opted [...]
