1.17.10

Is it vain that I think the inside of my fridge is attractive? I just L-O-V-E having a full fridge. I like knowing that there are all these possibilities just waiting to be cooked up. True confession: I don't grocery shop with a list. I buy some fruits and veggies and then we have certain staples that we make sure are always on hand: soy milk (although I really need to switch to rice or almond or coconut milk - I'm working on it!), eggs, plain yogurt.

So, what's here?

Top shelf (left to right): Shredded Cabot cheese, herbed goat cheese, New York cheddar, soy milk, pitcher of iced Awake tea (in a pitcher my cousin MADE), orange juice (special treat for Nathan), bowl of apples, leftover baked tofu, leftover brown rice, leftover artichoke hearts, bowl of yeast.

Middle shelf (left to right): Nathan's peppery cream cheese, eggs, a container with parmesan in it, veggie dogs (to make veggie pigs-in-a-blanket for my friend's birthday this weekend), bowl of tomatoes, bowl of Bone Sucking Sauce (we put it on EVERYTHING), Ezekiel bread (oh my word - Best.Bread.Ever.) and a loaf of locally made raisin bread.

Bottom shelf (left to right): Crescent rolls (for aforementioned pigs-in-a-blanket; I don't normally buy those or any product like that, haha), fat-free plain yogurt (waiting to be frozen...mmm), a container of Rachel's yogurt (makes my throat itch, but it's SO yummy and I won't throw it out), arugula, spinach, romaine.

The bottom drawers contain a few bunches of carrots and assorted colors of peppers.

So, what's in your fridge?

1.9.10

I came across this article over at Cheap, Healthy, Good.

Interesting, no?

Do you think Americans are taught we are too stupid to cook? I think we've been taught that we're too busy to cook. Thoughts?

1.2.10

Well, it's a whole new decade, eh? 2009 was awesome and I can't wait to enjoy 2010.

So far, 2010 has been the laziest year of my life. I'm sipped tea, knitted and napped for the past two days. I have not washed or folded laundry or left the house other than to buy groceries one block away. It has been glorious.

I did however finish a knitting project and we've taken in way too much Half-Ton Teen/Dad/Mom shows. WAY too many.

I figure the busyness can ramp up again next week and I'm going to soak in this laziness while I can. Did y'all have a happy new year?
