Can we be friends?

In the halfway house I live in, two “sous chefs” are assigned to help the chef cook. Yesterday the cook asked me to help him and I jokingly said “get one of the kitchen bitches to do it.” The name stuck. Tonight  our cook said that he would not dehumanize the sous chefs and that he refused to call them kitchen bitches. He asked them to help but when he insisted on calling them sous chefs, they said that they were forming the kitchen bitch union and walking out until he called them kitchen bitches. The cook caved and called them the kitchen bitches and the rest of the house started cheering. The whole interaction was absolutely hilarious.

Take a good thing:

Annie's white cheddar shells.

Make it better:

Plus truffle oil, tiny slices of imported Italian salumi, freshly-grated Asiago cheese shavings.

Cheetos and red wine for dinner. Dinner of champions. And poverty-stricken twenty-somethings who spent too much money today on jewelry and shoes.

I just made peanut butter and Toblerone chocolate chipped oatmeal. I am clearly a culinary genius. ...Also, PMSing. XOXO

Everything for a tiny house from a micro-washer to a counter-top dishwasher to a modular kitchen and a stove burner/coffee maker/toaster all-in-one could be yours. Check out this post from Brit & Co. for some great additions to your modern tiny house for those moments when you need a little bit of a modern cleaning/decorating break.

Go to a farmer's market. Do it every week. Start buying your produce there-- your lettuce and tomatoes, carrots and garlic. Do this for a year. See how the food offerings change as the seasons change, and teach yourself and learn what comes out of the earth at different times of the year; learn how things grow and live and die.

XOXO

I'm the sort of girl who would go to a fashion show and actually eat the little obligatory nibbles that they put out that no one in the fashion industry actually eats. Nay, I wouldn't just eat the snacks-- I would be PUMPED that no one else seemed to be chowing down so there would be more for me. I'm the same person who goes to a new opening at an art gallery and gets extremely territorial over the chocolate strawberry platter and have no problems getting bogart-y over the last few. No shame here when it comes to food. XOXO
