Last week Dan and I were finally able to cross something off our to-do list: make falafel. We had attempted this over two years ago and it was a complete disaster – the batter fell apart immediately upon hitting the oil, leaving us with chickpea mush that, while still tasty, was just not what we [...]

Saucy Mini Reunion
Posted in Dinner, Easy! on August 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
After weeks of cooking separately, Saucy has been reunited. We spent Sunday afternoon lounging and recovering from Amanda’s birthday festivities on Saturday night before reluctantly dragging ourselves off of couches (and a chaise lounge) for a quick grocery run. Of course it had started to pour just minutes before our revival of energy but we [...]

While browsing nytimes.com I came across a recipe for cold sesame noodles that had kitteh written all over it. Dan came over on Thursday and we whipped them up in a flash. It’s an extremely easy recipe, the only cooking that needs to be done is the pasta, so it’s no-air-conditioning-in-your-apartment friendly. Cold Noodles with [...]

Cookies are yummy. Ice cream is yummy. Chipwiches are ALSO yummy! Saucy and Emily cooked up a double batch of Amanda’s classic oatmeal chocolate chippies today–half of which Christina took to a work party, and half of which we kept for chipwiching or straight up cookie consumption. The perfect dessert to follow a dinner of [...]

If you ask Saucy, nothing says summer like corn on the cob. We are self-proclaimed experts at corn choosing, husking, cooking, and eating. It’s the perfect addition to just about any summer dish and especially perfect when enjoyed on the roof deck as the sun goes down. To celebrate summer, we made our signature pizza [...]

There are certain foods that just taste better at home: monkey bread, chocolate chip cookies, and, of course, Gram’s pancakes. A few weeks ago my mom threw a little graduation brunch for yours truly. I made banana crunch muffins and sour cream coffee cake. Mom made baked eggs florentine, baked french toast, and monkey bread [...]

Today marks the 25th anniversary of my sister’s entrance into the world. Wow! Though she is having a mini fête to celebrate tonight, I am currently en route to Philadelphia to attend some celebrations of my own and to spend some QT with mommy. But my favorite sister’s birthday is still my favorite sister’s birthday so [...]

Sundays-cause that’s our Funday

Being second semester seniors has changed our whole attitude on Sundays. As underclassmen, it was a day of stress and worry about the upcoming work week, and now it is a day to cherish (Madonna style) all that we love about our lives. While searching for winter gala garb in union square, our tummies growled [...]
