Quiet night here at P&Q headquarters. Leftovers. An obscenely large hunk of brie — and the requisite water crackers. And Revenge. I’m late to the party with this one, I realize. It’s also thoroughly possible that I’m addicted. This is what happens when I’m left alone with the remote control and many lifetimes’ worth of streaming television at my fingertips. What’s a girl to do? Just to keep things somewhat productive this evening, perhaps now’s a good time to post the recipe for the little frittata that was easily the star of the show when Cristin dropped by. For once, … Read More
Minted Pineapple Salad and Photo Fun Time
Last weekend, I swindled Cristin of the faboo Cristin More Photography into driving into the suburban abyss that is the Peninsula in exchange for brunch. I was prepared for some serious arm-twisting, but she came around surprisingly easily. I’d like to think she was really digging the company, but I’m thinking the promise of bacon had something to do with it… While she was here, we killed two birds (sadface) with one stone and knocked out a few fun shots in the kitchen before tucking into a meal of the fruity salad you see here, a spring pea and bacon … Read More
Five-Spice Chicken & Green Bean Spring Rolls
It’s sharing Wednesday. Or maybe oversharing Wednesday, because Share Number One is… I’m no-pooing. If you know what that means, bless your heart. If not, it’s basically going without shampoo. But it’s not as bad the name implies. I’m just not washing my hair. Wait, does that sound worse? Let’s clarify: No-pooing is basically an all-natural way to cleanse and condition your hair and restore balance to your scalp for healthy, manageable hair sans chemicals, silicone, etc. There’s zero constipation involved — unless you’ve already got issues of your own, of course. Learn lots more about it here and here. And … Read More
Figgy Brie & Roasted Pear Skillet Pizza (and a mini contest!)
I have a confession to make: I’ve never been to New York City. Ok, yes, via Sex & The City, and yes, there was that one time, for work, when I was thoroughly convinced I could Carrie Bradshaw my way from publishing house to publishing house wearing 5-inch heels and pushing a clothing rack through throngs of (thoroughly annoyed) pedestrians all while wearing a handknit shawl and a maxi skirt on a so-humid-it-feels-like-God’s-breath-all-like-hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-on-your-face kind of day in late May. So yeah, I’ve been there. But not, like, for real, jaknow? Until now. Ok not now, but in June, which is … Read More
Tofu & Fried Egg Pho with Crispy Onions & Furikake
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but it’s almost April. Can I get a WTF? (Thanks.) Seriously, when did that happen? Where did March go? Or February for that matter? Weren’t we just polishing off Spritz sugar cookies from the holidays a couple of weeks ago? Oh, just me then? They freeze well… As much as I typically love the coming of spring, I’ve got to admit I’m a little sad to part ways with winter this year. First of all, we didn’t really see much of it. A little rain here, some flurries there. We tried our darndest to make … Read More
