gonna grill some portobellos,

it smells immaculate in here

4/22/2007 5:13:12 PM

Jesus, that sounds awesome


I am a portabella mushroom fiend.


Thumbs up, I picked up cooking this past summer, got into it in the fall, but i've been lax this spring. No one likes to cook when they're single and alone


HA its ok, I drink away the pain

hey thats me

thats why i'm convincing myself to get back into it

eating out every night at a bar or steakhouse adds up in the waist.

4/22/2007 5:28:01 PM

I ate out less when I was single.

a LOT less. Of course, it doesn't help that he's always the one to pay

It's a lazy dinner, but right now I've got chicken breasts marinating in a ginger sauce, and I'm gonna do up some green beans and almonds, and maybe a salad. Also one of those lipton pasta sides (if anyone's got an easy, comparable [or better] from scratch recipe, plz to tell. I would love to make that from scratch, but I suck at ideas for starchy sides )

4/22/2007 5:40:26 PM

having your computer in the kitchen allows for these shennanigans

4/22/2007 5:43:53 PM

cooking now, got the pasta started.

roasted eggplant pesto stuffed tofu steaks over linquini and a basil tomato sauce..

made the pesto and tomato sauce earlier

nt really sure what im doing, and kinda winging it, but i think it'll turn out ok

will report back

Tiramisu is cake (no pun intended). How did you make it, curiously?


Oh, and i made an italian classic today.

Veal Osso Bucco Milanese, red wine demi-glace, roasted heirloom tomatoes, onion confit, saffron risotto

5/10/2007 9:52:26 PM

-use a box white cake mix for the base... made two layers white, added instant coffee to third layer - looks really nice when plated!

-poked holes in cake and poured a few teaspoons of a strong coffee and coffee liqueur mixture over each layer

-filling is mascarpone cheese, coffee liqueur, and confectioner's sugar

-frosting is heavy cream whipped with coffee liqueur and confectioner's sugar

5/10/2007 9:59:31 PM

i tried tiramisu in italy and didn't really like it

5/10/2007 11:01:41 PM

^you're defective

It is. Its lady fingers soaked in espresso and some kind of liquer, usually coffee, or some kind of brandy. layered with some sort of mascarpone filling. There are a bajillion ways to make the filling. Ive seen it as simple as folding in whipped heavy cream to folding in a zabaglione and italian meringue
