🍴: Mon – because I anticipated having a rehearsal conflict on Saturday for intermediate ballet, I popped into tonight’s beginner 2 class, so Hampton took care of dinner and did a lentil/merguez/feta shenanigans much like we did a few weeks ago and I was so ready to eat after an hour of strength training before…

🍴: Mon – rehearsal downtown meant Thai Harmony, our fave sushi in town Tues – dinner with our dogsitter and their partner, who conveniently live a few blocks away and are dear friends — Smoke City Meats ribeyes with a radish corn salad (because we accidentally double bought radishes) Ă la Feasting at Home plus…

🍴: Mon – Accidental Meatless Monday feat. mushroom tacos with refried beans, queso, corn, avocado, and pickled radish — possibly Hampton’s favorite veg tacos ever. Also, we took the new TJ’s frozen plantains for a spin in the air fryer. Hampton tried them at work and said they were a bit sweet, so we added…

or: no one is more surprised how old I am than I am. It has been one week, and I was really hoping to have some profound insights or words of wisdom about everyone’s most dreaded preventative care. However — this was one of the easier things I’ve ever done in my life. The worst…

So, what better excuse to actually update this blog more often? 🍴: We were to supposed to have not one but TWO weekend dinners out, but Winter Storm Cora had other plans. Luckily,…

Flat 493 doesn’t own a guillotine but loves cooking to a theme, so happy Bastille Day, y’all. — French Bistro Salad via the Spruce Eats. Not gonna lie, our (fairly new!) non-stick pan did not heat evenly. It was still fun to attempt fried goat cheese, one of my favorite restaurant treats. The base of…

So, yeah, this summer… that was a thing. Hampton and I both ended the spring with some killer shows and then it was all, well, life as usual. Snuggly puppies, tv, and lots of other people’s recipes. I may be in the midst of books 99 and 100 of the year, but there have been…

Ok, so, yeah, yesterday was a really fantastic #onbrand day — but, given that this is more diary than blog, I can’t not write about tonight’s dinner. This past week, we had burgers, thanks to our frozen stock from our amazing local butcher. We tend to wait for a sale and buy two pounds, portioning…

Hampton and I are both back into rehearsals* so weekends are for bigger meals, and tonight may have been our best schnitzel yet. We toasted and ground up leftover soft pretzel from Strudelteig’s last visit to Lesser Known, the fantastic Eastern European-inspired brewery a mile and change from our house, for the crust on this…
