02:06 pm - Foodblogging: Quick Hits

Well, two weeks of ukelele spring break has been great for my sleep, sanity, and productivity at work. For cooking, not so much: Getting home at a sane time means that I've only got 45 minutes to throw something together (later than that means that V gets tired and loses patience before I get dinner on the table).

So there's not been anything particularly worthy to blog. Fajitas, a reprise of last month's chicken stew recipe (this time over herbed polenta -- way excellent!), burgers, that sort of thing. Nothing liable to be novel to any of you or particularly illustrative.

We did do a recurring salad of mine, which might be worth a note:

1c yellow pepper as 1/4" dice
1c jicama as 1/4" dice
1c pineapple as 1/4" dice
Adequate juice from the pineapple to make everything wet
1t chili powder
Toss together, serve cold.

Today I'm doing Irish Stew, again not particularly novel, but a good spring dish.

Also: these pecans, since I had pecans left over from a couple of weeks ago.
