For those who’ve been curious (or dare I hope, worried?), I haven’t died in the dry Texas heat, so bad it felt like any drive out was a race across Fury Road. Without the doof mobiles. Just ask anyone who lives in Texas how bad it’s been — days in the 100º’s before the heat…

She’s not ready for her close up, Mr. DeMille. – Potato soup and garlic-onion dinner rolls.
Right now, Texas is very cold and very wet. Of course, it’s winter, but sometimes, we have winters that are as warm as any spring day. Not this year. This weekend was no exception. Gray days, rainy, extremely cold — days and evenings meant for snuggling under blankets in pjs with furkids, eating warm comfort…
God bless us, Every one! — Yule Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding
First let me say to my readers, I hope that you’re all having a blessed Yule and a Happy Hanukkah! It seems as if we’ve made it another year around the sun (or just about, since we still have New Years to get through). I imagine we’re all pretty stuffed from all the holiday party…
“All sorrows are less with bread.” (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra) — Herb Bread, adapted.
I miss making bread. Not that I’ve ever made a lot of bread in my few years of being a kitchen superhero, but what I have made, I’ve loved making, and there’s just something about pulling fresh loaves out of the oven and knowing that you made them yourself. Years ago, my ex and I had…
Taste of Heaven in a Bowl – Angel hair pasta tossed with light sauce and tomatoes.
Well, how about that. I’m making a second appearance with another new recipe in the same day. I mentioned the pasta dish in my last post (with the cookies), and as it happens, that’s what I made tonight for dinner. So you’re all in luck! It’s a light pasta dish with the great taste of…
Bread is the life. Focaccia in honor of my friend’s fanfiction.
Sweet Loki, it’s been too long since I’ve posted anything, but between a bout of depression and then a temp job that lasted a month, I haven’t had the time or energy to really cook, much less post to my blog. That will all hopefully change, however, as I’m feeling much better than i had…
Hey now. There’ll be naan o’that. Naan bread on a griddle.
Bread is life, so they say. When we want to communicate with others and have long meaningful conversations, we call it “breaking bread” with someone. Bread, for many of us, is a staple we would rather never do without. It makes us feel whole; it makes us feel at peace, at home; that all is…
Avengers’ Special: Chicken Shawama and Pita Bread
Well, it’s certainly been a long time since I’ve posted anything here. I didn’t realize just how long! GAH! Bad Geek Girl. But grad school this semester still kept me busy, and even though I cooked, I didn’t cook near enough to really get photos or anything. Well, hopefully that will change! So, I’ve seen…
Restaurant Review: Black’s Barbecue, Lockhart, Texas
Friday, September 23, 2011. The Roommate and I went out to the cemetery near by to put autumn flowers (and an apple for Mabon) out at my brother Robert’s grave. After we were done, we were pulling back out on to the highway and we both looked at the road sign that said Lockhart…
This might be the prettiest meal I’ve made: Trout in wine-lemon sauce, Cajun roasted potatoes and buttery almond asparagus
I know it’s been a few weeks since I posted something, but I keep forgetting to take my camera into the kitchen. I will do better in the future, though I will warn that once school starts, I won’t be Geek Girling on Tuesdays-Thursdays (unless we have a class that’s cancelled) because between homework and…
Happy 4th griller: Chipotle lime sirloin steak, baked potatoes, corn and garlic bread
I have discovered that I love grilling. I’m sure there are several tricks I could learn to improve my grill-fu, but I think for a beginner, I’ve done really well. So when Kass and I decided to grill steaks and potatoes for July 4th, I told her I wanted to try the chipotle-lime marinade that…
All spiky and French: Chicken Friand
Back in May of 2009, before my life went to Hell in a handbasket emotionally, I made a trip to Taylor, Texas, with my sister and now-Ex to see my Aunt Norma Jo’s house and visit with family. Because we were close, we spent Saturday morning and afternoon with my then-MIL in Round Rock, mostly…
First post: Stuffed shells with Italian breaded chicken and tomatoes
The Geek Girl is in the house, and she’s cooking. I am wholly grateful to a summer of no grad school classes so that I can indulge my newfound love of cooking. See, when an obstinate girl like myself is told that she’ll starve because her ex is leaving (and he was the one who…
