Pretty good for just sitting in the middle of the street!

Pizza on the roof from last night

It was delicious!

I cooked again!

The other thing I cooked was calzones. Here are all the ingredients laid out (sorry the picture is sideways):

I made the sauce and the fillings:

I think that avocado is hiding underneath the bowl:

Mixing the fillings:

The dough came pre-made, but I did have to separate it into three pieces:

The extremely even three pieces:

I didn't do a great job getting them closed with no holes:

They exploded a little in the oven, but they still look delicious:

And here's the final presentation, with the extra sauce for dipping:

Delicious! So I cooked twice, if you can even believe it!

I cooked!

In the first week of January, we got a free week of food from Blue Apron from a friend. I cooked 2 of the meals, and here's the first one: cauliflower steaks. They send you all of the ingredients, and here they are, all laid out nicely:

Here is some evidence that it was actually me cooking:

Partway through, the greens all looked nice:

Cauliflowers turn out to be very pretty, like trees, when you slice them vertically:

The range of colors of scallions (sorry, I don't think there's a way to rotate the picture in Blogger):

In prep bowls, so fancy:

Making the coconut curry sauce:

The fanciest part of all was the black rice, which was really cool and very tasty:

Adding the lime zest:

Making the individual servings:

A close-up before toppings:

The process of adding toppings, observed by a skeptical friend:

The final product:

It was delicious! We've even made it again since then, and it wasn't easy because we had to find somewhere to buy black rice. Mmmmm!

My view from work right now

Zucchini a la my mom's style.

Lunar eclipse!

noreply@blogger.com (Caroline) — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 01:54:00 +0000

My camera can't really do it justice, but we're watching the lunar eclipse now and it's really cool!

In other news, Sam and I went swing dancing this afternoon in East Boston and it turns out there are really beautiful views of the city from there.

Look at my dinner

noreply@blogger.com (Caroline) — Sun, 20 Sep 2015 23:50:00 +0000

I am a lucky person to have such a lovely dinner made for me!

We went to Wisconsin

noreply@blogger.com (Caroline) — Mon, 24 Aug 2015 15:18:00 +0000

I played Dominion with Sam's family and didn't win. Also we swam in the lake and canoed!

Look what I made!

Our railing garden

Basil, parsley, cilantro, tomatoes, mint, yum!

A yummy idea

noreply@blogger.com (Caroline) — Mon, 16 Feb 2015 15:35:00 +0000

Ice cream sandwiches with frozen Thin Mints as the cookies and mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was delicious!

We made banana bread with chocolate chips

noreply@blogger.com (Caroline) — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 22:18:00 +0000

It was delicious!

Happy New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (Caroline) — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:36:00 +0000

We're having some nice family time this year. Sam's brother and sister-in-law came to visit for the first 4 days of the year, and now we're in Minneapolis visiting his whole family, and when we get back, my family is going to come visit for my dad's birthday. It's so great to see everyone!

Happy belated Hannukah!

Happy Thanksgiving!

My mom will be happy that I've updated the blog. Here's some pie that we ate for Thanksgiving. It was delicious, thanks to my brother!

On my last day at work before I started my leave, my coworker had surprise organized a cake and cupcakes to send me off! It was really nice! Here I am with the cake:
