I Can Has Deerburger?
March 13, 2008 by chialynn
I’ve been craving a cheeseburger for days. Yesterday I said, “We should do cheeseburgers tonight! We’ve got that double gloucester/stilton blend that we should really try to eat before we leave for Ireland, and we can make sweet potato fries, which’ll get rid of some yams, too.”
Of course, I had to get buns, but those can be frozen before we go. “We’ll also need a tomato,” I thought, but then I remembered – we have a jar of sundried tomatoes. Might as well get those out. Ooooh, and look! Just enough spinach left to put that on the burgers, too!
We do have some hamburger patties in the freezer – left over from the last barbeque – but I didn’t want beef. I wanted venison. Fortunately, thanks to my stepfather, we’ve got quite a bit of that. (Our wedding gift from my awesome mother and her husband – a small chest freezer and a regular supply of game meat. Sam’ll take any excuse to do more hunting.)
Then NovySan got home and made some brilliant additions to the meal – like chopping one of the leeks that’s been languishing in the crisper drawer into the meat, with a generous helping of garlic. (This is where I complain that I looked everywhere for the jar of crushed garlic a week or so ago, and Novy found it behind the much larger jar of minced garlic. Which I also didn’t find. Gnomes are hiding my groceries.) And then, because as long as we’re finishing off cheese before we go, we might as well finish it all, he topped the Gloucester with herbed goat cheese.
There are reasons I love this man.
And as long as I’m talking about food…
I made this back in January. White bean and sweet potato soup, with walnut-sage pesto. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever made. The recipe is here. I substituted a pepper-infused olive oil for the walnut oil, to give it some heat.

My cat is an Anglophile
June 12, 2007 by ChiaLynn
It all started with John Rackham, of Rogues Yarn. He came to stay last year, after the Fringe, and Schokie soon learned that she could control him with the power of her mind. “Pet me, English,” she would demand, sitting at his feet, staring hard. And, obediently, John would bend to stroke her. Then he went home. She misses him terribly. Her Jedi powers don’t work on us.
Now this.
NovySan and I went to England in March, and Ben Shockley (also of Rogues Yarn) introduced us to Marmite. We thought it was disgusting. And then we couldn’t stop thinking about it. So we tried it again. And it was still disgusting, but we liked it anyway. And then we came home. And we were still thinking about it. So we bought some, at the Indian restaurant across the street. And this morning, Schokie sat at NovySan’s feet, demanding a bit of whatever he was having, and so he gave her some. She licked it off his finger, and then kept licking, even after she’d gotten it all.She’s fond of the occasional G&T, as well.
