This recipe is so simple that I was able to provide all details in the caption of an Instagram. And it’s really similar to some recipes I’ve posted before, like this one and this one. But I liked it so much that I’m risking repetitiveness and posting it here on the good ol bloggity blog.…

Wow. It’s been forever since I’ve done one of these posts. Hopefully it was worth the wait. The Dish: No fail, every time I’m eating Thai food (or even thinking about eating Thai food) I say that line “Jack talk Thai” from Meet The Parents. And then giggle to myself because for some reason I…

It’s pizza, as a burrito. Nothing bad about that. This dish of my own design sounds strange – so much so that Albert wasn’t sold on it and chose to eat the previous night’s leftovers instead – but it tastes so good. Once Albert smelled it and saw me eating it, he regretted his decision…

Just because I had the day off on Friday doesn’t mean I was going to order Seamless for lunch. I knew I’d be spending a good bit of money over the weekend, so there was no need to pay for lunch on what was still technically a weekday. I took advantage of some leftovers and…
