Cooking
(This post will make sense for only a select few; sorry.)
So...a few weeks back, I had this terrible craving for croissants.
Yes, I could make them myself. But it's a heck of a lot of work, and I had more important, Christmas cookie-y, things to attend to.
Even knowing the quality of a store-bought croissant, Matt picked up a box from one of the local grocery stores.
It occurred to me that, once empty, the box would serve as suitable storage for the aforementioned cookies.
For the past couple of weeks, it has been holding the occasionally over-sized sugar cookies, and living in the storage freezer.
New Year's day, however, as I was assembling a cookie tray for company, Matt (having watched several episodes with me) noticed something.
He pointed it out to me, and I pretty much freaked.
What caused such a reaction? I'll show you.
The underside of the store bakery croissant box is marked with the symbol of Rambaldi!!
Holy crap...does that mean my local grocer is evil?
It's ok, though...I have back-up.

It seems everyone knew what to get me for Christmas; I think I got seven or eight cookbooks this time! Matt showered me with a series of Williams-Sonoma books, which made me very happy. I've been hitting their Baking book pretty hard so far, and...

I'd had every intention of joining Kevin's Mac & Cheese-off last week, but as usual...the best laid plans, and all. We did get around to making our own cheesy pasta (as Alex refers to it); using a recipe from the Tribune (which I cannot find...

For Christmas, my sister-in-law gave us the cookbook Noodle Fusion. Even a simple peruse showed promise; I picked the Ginger Noodles for the test run. Red onion and ginger and garlic, stir fried, added to soaked and drained noodles, mixed with a flavored...
