A Thank You Thursday recipe 12 January 2012 8:12 pm

Today I would like to thank my brother Piett for digging up the booklet of recipes that came with the Cuisinart ice cream machine which we recently passed on to him after replacing it with a KitchenAid attachment (yay more shelf space and a corrollary thank-you to our parents for both those gadgets, whee!) The recipes that came with the new toy look good, but kinda fancy: egg yolks and cookery and whatnot. None of them have quite the exquisite simplicity of the concoction which this post immortalizes for availability when and wherever I have intertweetplusface access, yay! Also, because this would hardly feel like a proper blog post without a bit of linkage, here’s what the New York Times food section had to say about eggless ice creams a year and a half ago (hint: good stuff, and I should try that berry recipe some time!) Ok, enough introduction, on with the treats! (more…)

How happy is my start to 2012, you ask? I think my new tea-making monkey friend answers that question pretty darn well:

Seriously, I cannot even begin to say how awesome a gift this is. (more…)

Ok, so I saw an oddly fitting tweet not long after forcing myself up this morning (it was still morning, though only by an hour or so, and I probably could have slept more but I had enough trouble getting to sleep at an earlyish hour last night that I decided not to push my luck — or my ability to breathe, which is unreliable thanks to upper respiratory ickiness):

Auugh I am going to be so sick tomorrow, I can just feel it. The good news is, I’m certain it’ll make my #TMITuesday even more exciting.

I will spare you the TMI, readers, but suffice it to say that I whined way too soon yesterday. Oooof. Anyway. S-s-s-somethings from the Twitter: (more…)

Monkey Monday: just a little news 28 November 2011 5:56 pm

Urgh, readers. I have the post-holiday-weekend plague, in the form of a cold that makes me want to do nothing more strenuous than lie around feeling sorry for myself, with the only occasional exertion to pour myself the next cup of ginger ale (Schweppes, not even the good stuff) or tea. So today’s post is pretty random, an even more biased sample of the weekend’s food-related New York Times articles, and something I saw on Tumblr. Coming up later this week: Twitter Tuesday, a more complete turducken Wordless Wednesday if I can swing it, and then some well-earned rest. This NaBloPoMo thing has been quite the adventure! Anyway, on with the post: (more…)
