generally fabulous.: December 2010

http://generally-fabulous.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 1, 2010. Not sure how I should feel about this. The other night, for instance, as I struggled to stay awake, I told E to just "ask the cookie vendor" rather than talk to me. In my head, we were in the holiday market at Grand Central Terminal, and there was a guy selling lovely frosted cookies. In reality, we were in bed in our freezing cold bedroom in Queens. Six of one, half dozen of the other. A few minutes later, I started singing a variation on this classic Fats Domino tune:.

Monday, October 25, 2010. Pumpkins as people and dogs as cops. This weekend, in pictures:. This weekend finally felt like Fall. We carved a pumpkin Friday night, and Saturday we drove upstate for some foliage and trail wandering at Bear Mountain Inn. Unfortunately, the leaves don't really change colors here in NYC - they just kind of stay green forever and then suddenly one day they all fall off the trees. As a native New Englander, I miss vibrant foliage so, so much! Friday, October 22, 2010. In Epcot, ...

generally fabulous.: My first ravioli adventure!

http://generally-fabulous.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-first-ravioli-adventure.html

Sunday, November 7, 2010. My first ravioli adventure! Another busy weekend has flown by, and now I am staring down the dreaded Monday morning once again! Ah, well, at least it was a good weekend. Friday night, E and I got right down to business with some couscous and feta stuffed peppers. The filling for these peppers was absolutely delicious even on its own! Anyway. He ended up simply scooping all the filling out and leaving behind the peppers. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Saturday night E and I ...

Fascinating photo essay, today I share with you the contents of my refrigerator and freezer. We're at a moderate-fill level right now - most of our basics are in stock and some extras as well, but we're not exactly as full-up as I usually like to be.

Monday, August 15, 2011. Bulleted Thoughts About Our Wedding. However, it does seem to me that wedding and the honeymoon have injected a bit of spice into our relationship. Of course, I think that no longer spending all of our waking hours planning the wedding helps, too. A few snippets before I dive into more comprehensive posts. These are things no one told me (or everyone told me, but I didn't believe) before the wedding:. We were buzzed for about 5 days straight. People will surprise you. I have a bl...

http://generally-fabulous.blogspot.com/2010/10/unfortunately-taking-walks-wasnt-really.html

Tuesday, October 19, 2010. Unfortunately, "taking walks" wasn't really something we could do together in our apartment. I want so badly to post a few recipes I've made in the last few weeks, but this is turning into a straight up food blog, so instead of my usual recap, I will do a link-and-one-sentence-review for each:. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. Ziti with Roasted Zucchini. In non-food news, the weather on Sunday was essentially perfect: around 70 degrees, light breeze. E and I grabbed lunch wi...

Thursday, August 26, 2010. Neighbors and Birthdays and Dogs, Oh My! Tonight, in celebration of a friend-who-just-moved-into-our-neighborhood's birthday, we went to Manhattan. That's right, folks, we outer borough folk do head into Manhattan for some entertainment and merrymaking! Yes, we will continue to try to lure you into our realms ("I'll take you to the Beer Garden. Being one of the key baits), but we also head over to the island once in a while. Which houses an historic barge (now a bar and grill!

Saturday, June 19, 2010. Summer = delicious, cheap fruit. It's been a few weeks! I've been settling into a full time internship and trying to enjoy the beautiful weather before it gets too hot around here! I kind of hate the summertime. I mean, I love the lush vegetation and abundance of fun activities, and there's nothing like a warm summer night spent outside drinking, but I wish it never got above 80 degrees. Ever. I've also been buying lots of fruit! Serves me right for jumping the gun, I guess.

Tuesday, September 28, 2010. I highly recommend this recipe, which is the first I've made up on my own for minestrone! Shae's Rough Vegetarian Minestrone Soup. 1/4 cup vegetable oil. 4 cloves of garlic, crushed (this can be reduced. we eat a lot of garlic and are desensitized). 1/2 cup white onion, chopped. 1/4 cup carrot, chopped. 1/3 cup celery, chopped. 1 can crushed tomatoes (one of those big guys). 1 can cannellini (white kidney beans). 1 can red kidney beans. 2 pounds zucchini, diced.
