Peruvian Green Sauce

The Great Cape Cod Cosmo
Last week, I was slurring my words and drooling. Oh, you thought it was because I had a front tooth removed? No, no, no. It’s because I was drinking this little ol’ drinky-drink, the Cape Cod Cosmo. And yes it did help me forget about the giant hole in my face, but it didn’t help my photography …

Sticky Rice With Cilantro and Sweet Caramelized Onions
So this happened. We’re eating this delicious sticky rice with this sauce, binge watching Silicon Valley, and my husband, out of nowhere, totally starts flirting with me.

Spicy Chicken Fried Rice
Let’s be dramatic. I’m so hungry, I’m going to pass out. I’m dying of starvation. If I don’t eat cake soon, I will die. These are things I’ve actually said or thought in the last 2 days. My sugar withdrawals have kicked into high gear and, although I know it will pass, I’ve gone mad. …
Kiwi Lime Ice Cream

Pork Stir-Fry With Honey, Lime, and Ginger
My town is in an Asian food crisis. We have a few Chinese restaurants, a couple of Thai restaurants, but I’m going to break it to you gently: they suck. I complained. I griped. I whined. I threw a temper tantrum where I hurled my body onto the floor and flung my arms and legs …
