About Me

I'm just a girl living in Los Angeles, geeky at heart but trying to fit into the stylish city that is now my home.

Food

I go through phases where I eat out all the time, and then I regress into eating only simple homemade dishes like pasta with marinara sauce, homey Indian dishes, and my personal favorite, mixed vegetables with cheese (no, it's what you think it is -- frozen mixed vegetables with shredded cheese, and of course, lots of crushed red pepper).


I'm trying to get into a phase now where I homecook fancy foods.  I was on a risotto kick for few months recently, and I made a cauliflower puree two nights ago (or if you want to be fancy about it, purée de chou-fleur).  I even found a food blog with recipes for Indian food that I'd previously made only with store-bought mixes (lemon rice is a huge favorite of the husband, and we used our last MTR mix a month ago, so I had to resort to making it from scratch -- it wasn't hard at all, by the way).  And after eating a roasted vegetable quiche from the cafe at work for breakfast, I made a huge batch of quiche with leftover fajita vegetables so I can pack my own every morning.  My crowning glory is homemade lemonade.

If I were a stay-at-home wife in the future, I would start making everything from scratch... bread, jams, crackers, cookies, ice cream.  Sounds like fun... maybe.
