This is today’s brunch :D . It’s imitation crab salad on toasted Italian bread, fruit salad, and sugar-free lemonade. I made a video and took a series of photos of me making it… but after playing back a bit of the video I decided to never film myself doing anything ever again. I kind of looked like I might chop a finger off at any moment while I was cutting the onion o.O . Scary!

Not exactly a thrilling post… but I think the photos turned out well :) . . . .

Recipe Monster (an unlikely love story)

I imagined that, by this point in my life, I would have someone to cook for. As it happens I don’t and I don’t even have a functioning oven :( .

Well, that is only half true. I have a hand-me down toaster oven that is an approximate 0.25 Cu. Ft capacity. I do cook chicken, waffles, toast, 7 layer bars, and potatoes in it but in very small portions for many hours.

Last night (as well as Memorial Day), I made Tandoori Chicken in it. I’m fairly certain the recipe I used is the farthest thing from traditional Indian cooking but the food was delicious. The chicken took about 1 hour to bake and remained a little pink so I ended up popping it in the microwave for a bit just to be safe.

I’m not what you would call skilled in the kitchen but I am willing to learn and make food for people willing to sign waivers :link: .



Oh, there isn’t really a love story or recipes but there is a monster… lurking, somewhere.

It is at home where her skills are questionable due largely in part to faulty equipment and a serious case of the “who gives a damn I’m the only one who is going to consume it” itus. :link:
