I love to read.
I love to cook.
I really love to eat.
First, I want to point out my blogroll over there. Yes, over there. I’ve been driving myself crazy by stumbling through food/cooking blogs only. And it makes me verra verra hungry. And of course, it’s made my blogroll grow pretty much exponentially. My favorites: Ezra Pound Cake My First Kitchen (Kendra is from NC too!) Homesick [...]
My house has an amazing garlicky tomato aroma floating through the air. I made a pasta dish with Spicy Tomato Vodka Sauce tonight and, not only was it super simple, but it was incredibly tasty. Even my dad went back for seconds and he doesn’t generally like pasta with tomatoes.
