Brunch is Back

After a hiatus from posting created by busy directing and work schedules... I'm thrilled to say I'm back in the kitchen and headed back to a routine. Avery came up for the show opening on Friday and we made sweet potato home fries and a Korean squash and cheddar frittata for breakfast on Saturday. Which was rare for us, as he's often at the glass shop and I'm often at rehearsal. Happy eating!

I'm getting good at this whole frittata thing! We might even have to have a drunch party soon...

90 seconds

You know, I'm continually amazed at how a perfectly a relationship can be going along and then suddenly "baggage" raises its nasty head. A week of too much work, stressed nerves, family strife, whatever, can make everything seem totally flimsy for one moment. One all encompassing moment that seems eternal.

But you take a deep breathe. And relax. And the moment passes and you remember. You remember the joy of first meeting. The rush of his breath on your neck. Of the kiss. And all is well.

A friend of mine was a quoting a book that says that emotions are chemical reactions that last for 90 seconds. If you let it go on after that, then you're CHOOSING to feel that way.

Here's to choosing a better way. Here's the joy of remembering our past and future.

K and A in the Kitchen - Crab Cakes with Chipotle Aioli

Tonight we made this amazing aioli to go with our crab cakes from the market.



It was easy!
One egg yolk beaten with 1/2 tablespoon of chipotle mustard.
Then slowly whisk in oil (1/4 cup of olive oil, three tbs of vegetable oil)
Last stir in a couple of mashed garlic cloves and salt and pepper to taste.

Lemon wedges and parsley made a great garnish!



Now that's cookin!

bummer

sometimes working in two different cities is just straight up annoying...

but... it has its payoffs...

i shouldn't complain
