I originally made this banana chocolate chip bread as muffins a few years ago while visiting a friend in DC. I was inspired to try it again when a friend here had four over ripe bananas lying around. He described them as dark brown, which is great, but I didn’t expect them to be quite as dark when I laid eyes on them. At first, I thought they might be bad because they were sooo dark, and ...
Kimchi Fried Rice
Guess who found a jar of kimchi in the back of the fridge! I thought I had used it all, but I found this glorious jar behind a bottle of maple syrup. I immediately knew that I was going to make kimchi fried rice for my friend and me. We’re both pretty big fans, and our favorite brand is Wildbrine. I originally bought it at Whole Foods to try with bulgogi, and we loved it. Like really loved it. ...
Toffee Chocolate Chip Blondies
While blindly reaching into my cupboard for a napkin, I felt a little bag containing something I couldn’t identify. I pulled out what was a left over half a bag of toffee chips from my brown butter chocolate chip cookies. But it was more than that. It was another chance to bake my way through the remaining six bags of chocolate chips that I had. I recently came across a blondie recipe from just a ...
Friday Things
Today's pic is from the Hirshhorn museum in DC. It was the last few days of the Infinity Mirrors exhibit, and I was unsuccessful at getting more passes before it ended. The museum had an Infinite Afterparty from 6-10pm with music, cocktails, films and of course a chance to walk through the exhibit. My bf surprised me with tickets to the party as an extra treat. It was ...
The Pursuit Wine Bar
The other night I was able to catch up with an old friend. Since both of us ended up working late, we decided to meet at my house and grab a drink in the neighborhood. My friend is really into wine now, so I suggested The Pursuit Wine Bar. I almost forgot about the place because it’s at the end of the main “strip”, so this was my first time. When we entered, there was only a bar with a hi-top ...
Broccoli and Bacon Pasta
It’s the middle of the week. I’ve worked late every night, and haven’t been to the store. I didn’t even take anything out of the freezer. I take a peek in my fridge to see if I can do better than grilled cheese or pb&j. I have a few slices of bacon, a crown of broccoli, and an almost empty container of half and half. This lady is about to make broccoli and bacon pasta with a light cream sauce. ...
