The rain this morning...

reminded me how long it's been since I last posted. Busy as always, but also trying to dance AND rest as much as possible since my week long break while sick, and Ben reformatted/reinstalled the OS on our computer, so I've put off using it. I had to reinstall some programs, and I'm posting this without Hello, my preferred method, because I'm sick of re-registering for it. Anyhoo.

What's been cooking in my kitchen? Not much, but I have a few pictures to share.















This is leftover roasted pork loin dressed with a chinese sauce on udon noodles with asparagus, snap peas, and garlic.















Pocupine meatballs (beef and rice meatballs in a chili-tomato sauce) and steamed broccoli.















This tasted a lot better than it looks. It's pesto pasta with parmesan and steamed sweet potato.















Pineapple + coconut milk = pina coladas















Blueberry Crumb Cake, recipe courtesy of Ms. Stewart here. I made some alterations to the recipe by adding lemon juice and zest and substituting plain yogurt for the sour cream.















These are really good chocolate cookies. They stayed moist and tasted fudgy, like brownies. I saw the recipe, originally from Cooking Light, on a blog called Baking Sheet.

See? Not many great dinners. Some ok baking though. I should have more time to think out next week's menu today, since my car is in the shop I'm stuck at home. But since it's raining, there's no where else I'd rather be.
