Turnips were on sale this weekend. Having never made a turnip before, I decided to try it out. Did you know that turnips are dipped in wax? And this is normal?! Anyway, you peal the turnip skin off, and get rid of the wax. I… Read More
Saturday, my mom and I decided to recreate the coconut curry mussels I had at Sibling Rivalry. Having just broken into the world of mussel making, we were eager to try again. I found a recipe through Epicurious (here you go!) and we proceeded (albeit… Read More
It’s been awhile. Shame on me. Wednesday James and I had a horrific dinner at Top of the Hub (yes, horrific). Thursday I had Funfetti cake for dinner. So tonight was salsa verde turkey burger night! What you’ll need: 1 lb ground turkey meat 1/2 cup… Read More
