Mind Over Batter

I never ever know what to cook for these mofos. The mofos in my crew, I mean. At times I have an idea. However, these ideas hardly come until at least 5pm. My crew isn’t exactly picky, but they’re habitual in their eating habits. If it were up to them we’d eat rice, beans and... read more →

I’m going to marry this soup. Mr. M.O.B. will just have to understand. Yes, it will be painful the first few months, and I’m certain it will take time  for him to adjust; but I’m confident Mr. M.O.B. will realize it was for the best. In due time, of course… No hard feelings – Huh, buddy? I’m... read more →

You must be up to “HERE” with Christmas carols, cheesy Christmas pins, gift wrap and presents by now. Won’t look at another glass of eggnog till next year. Sick of those Christmas cookies – And those gingerbread men? No more! At least one would think so, right? I’m totally not done with Christmas. Got a lil’ Christmas left... read more →

I don’t feel like cooking. Gosh, no. After a long day at work I want to put my feet up. Read a book, do my nails… Oh, what the hell – Maybe eat string cheese? Right… Not when my toddler’s greeting is, “Hi, Mom – What’s doh dinner?” Definitely wishful thinking. Those expectant looks set... read more →

I’m so full of it…. Loaded one might say… A few posts ago I made claims. I claimed to have given up the delicious consumption of bacon, remember? Totally didn’t happen. I stopped for exactly 7 days. 7 days – Big whoop. I went for my bacon fix the second I could. What’s worse? I’ve been shamelessly flaunting my bacon eating... read more →

Every so often, perhaps once a month the M.O.B. Crew has breakfast for dinner. I find it a nice reprieve from the usual “dinner” food. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but breakfast for dinner blankets our night with color. It excites us. Something about having pancakes or eggs for dinner makes us… Happy. Our home smells... read more →

Thanksgiving is in a couple of days. I haven’t even started my pie dough. I’ve been crazy tired and grumpy lately. Perhaps I should up my B12 intake and go back to eating bacon. I quit eating bacon. That has nothing to do with pie dough, or even this post; just thought I’d share. I think... read more →

I feel like sharing today… I like you, and it seems like a good day for it, don’t you think? Awesome – I think so too! Ok, now I’m all excited and stuff!  I’d like you to know some things about me… read more →

Don’t worry; it’s not a new language, or a fashion trend. It is not a new crayon color, or bathroom tile scheme. It’s a meal – To be more precise, its fried rice with chicken and veggies. Cooked by me, a Dominican. Get it? Wait, wait – Keep reading! I never know what to do... read more →
