#non-recipe

Hey! I'm looking through all the recipes to find things I might like to make, but I've noticed some of the source pages are missing :( [cries a little] Do you think it'd still be possible to prepare them just using what's provided on the blog?

Oh no! D: I had no idea! Basically, what I do is I put the ingredients into my posts but not the prep instructions, because that feels like plagiarism. Unfortunately, I have no control over whether these random recipes I find on the internet get taken down.  

The only thing I can suggest is maybe trying the Wayback Machine? Sometimes you can look at archived pages using that. You might also be able to replicate my stuff by combining the ingredients in my posts with steps from a similar recipe. Good luck!

5 ways to get your kids eat more vegetables | Guest Post

It’s guest post time. I had to skip the guest post last month due to other commitments, but I am super glad to be back on routine with the guest post and I personally thank Beth Martel for this wonderful and very valuable article. She is a mother of two, a medical professional and a humanitarian. She blogs at HealthyRecharge.com. (more…)

the yellow back books always devoted like an entire goddamn chapter to nancy's luncheons with hannah. there's like at least 4 salads referenced in there

Hahaha don’t I know it. I’ve done a few book-recipes already but I stopped cuz I just couldn’t get through the book I was on. The 30s books really tend to drag on in my opinion and I have trouble getting into them. 

I definitely want to keep going with them though, I want to get to the other ND series which might be more my speed and all the recipes (hopefully) won’t be gelatin based lol.

Tamil Nadu Cuisine

Indian cuisine is a common term given to the food from India but in a larger picture it encompasses all the regional cuisines within India. India is known for its cultural diversity; also the cuisine is highly influenced by the region, traditions and occupation. The early invaders of our country, be it Greek or Mughals or Europeans have played a major role in shaping up our modern Indian cuisine.…

Hello,I was wondering if could you possibly try to cook the frogs legs dish (cuisses de grenouille) in Danger by Design? I would love to try to cook that. Thank you! I love your website!

Uhhhh. Well, here’s the thing Anon. I really want to (for both completion and curiosity’s sake) but I’ve got two problems:

1. Where the heck do I buy frog legs? (Chinese market?)

2. My family would legitimately get mad at me if I made frog legs in my kitchen. My sister’s favorite animal is the frog. We catch frogs (for fun) every year on our annual camping trip. No one, but me, would eat them if I made them. 

So basically, I’d like to make them eventually but I might have to move out first. I take similar issue with the crawfish recipe from CRY :/ 

Anyone who doesn’t have these setbacks is welcome to pioneer the frog legs recipe before I get to it. As long as you submit the recipe to Cluecrewcookin of course ;) <3

hi i just wanted to say that your blog is so creative and your posts are so much fun to read through and i can't wait to try out some of the recipes! thank you so much for creating this blog

Whoo! Yes, please, share your cooking/baking adventures with me. I’d love to see pics if you try any of the recipes out. 

Also, thank you and you’re welcome :3 <3 I don’t consider myself super creative but I do my best.

I love this blog! Awhile back, you mentioned that you might email HER interactive about the menu in SEA (to find out whether they had images or references with legible menu items). Did you ever end up doing that, and if so did you hear back?

YES I did! But. They didn’t even acknowledge the majority of my email :( I was so disappointed. Here’s a look:

Sounds like a generic robo-response to me. I wonder if they got overloaded with emails about Dagny? I dunno. Maybe I should try again sometime. 

Anyway, thanks for the love and for sticking with me since back then :’) it motivates my lazy butt to keep cooking and posting <3

A Brief Update

Quick update from the Cat Ranch:

Our washing machine flooded yesterday and soaked two-thirds of the apartment.  The only areas that escaped the water were the living room and my bedroom.  Luckily nothing was ruined, and everything that got wet is stuff that can get wet, like clothes.  But we were up til 3 in the morning dealing with it, which really sucked.  I had to go hold down the button on the carpet cleaning guy's machine, out by the truck, because otherwise it kept turning off.

The dining room is still wet, and so are parts of Kat's room.  Meanwhile Shira has to sleep in my room because she can't go in the bathroom, and that's a real pain in the ass because she keeps waking me up.  I adore her, but she doesn't know that night is sleepytime.  Kat is sleeping on the couch, and the dulcet tones of the drying fans lull her to dreamland.

Also, on Saturday we added a new resident to the Ranch.  Meet Longinus the bearded dragon!

This handsome fellow likes cuddling on your shirt, sleeping in funny positions, and drafting memos.

So yes, the Cat Ranch is still up and operational.  But this is just a fraction of the rough times we've been having here the last couple of weeks.  I won't go into detail because it's all pretty personal for us, but rest assured we'll be back soon with recipes and cat pictures.
