NaBloPoM...AN I'm hungry!

Now that it's winter (kind of, anyway, for San Diego), that means time for special winter goodness!  Soups, pumpkin pies, chai lattes... we are full on into comfort food season.  Fall is probably my very favorite time of year, because it means I can really get into cooking.  It does get rather brisk out during the next four or five months, and I like to make things that combat against that.  About this time last year was when I started to get serious about health foods and vegetarianism, because cooking seasonal food can be pretty labor-intensive, so why not make it all good stuff as well?

Cooking makes me happy.  Something that makes me even happier is browsing food communities or food blogs.  One of my favorite communities over on LiveJournal is Food_P0rn.  It's even safe for work! ...except the title.  Those posters are some very serious foodies and I thoroughly enjoy browsing through all the recipes and great pictures; it's very inspiring.  From the info page:


"A community for people who understand that food - preparing it, eating it, sharing it and discussing it - is life's second-most-enjoyable pleasure. Recipes, lovingly detailed descriptions of delicious dishes and meals are encouraged; food voyeurs also welcomed."

Furthermore, "there are many varying interpretations of the phrase, 'food porn', so we're going to have to walk the fine line of being clear without being creatively restrictive. Most people tend to agree that, food_porn should:
+ Be something special and beyond everyday eats.
+ Should be something you put a lot of effort or heart into, not something you just pulled out of a can, box, or your freezer.
+ Look delicious! In other words, if the only picture you have looks like day old gray dog food, use your own discretion and don't post it.
+ Be a Contribution to the community, if you don't have any food for our eyes you should probably at least have some food for thought."


There is some guaranteed tastiness over there.  For example, a very recent recipe that caught my eye was Chocolate Oatmeal Carmelitas.  It has "chili cinnamon spiced walnuts, dulce de leche, 2 cups of double chocolate chips, 2 cups of sugar, and a pound of butter".  Yum!  

and 

original recipe it was inspired from here:
http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/chocolate-oatmeal-carmelitas

It all makes me feel very Martha-Stewart-like, so my next couple posts will focus on all that (and maybe some more recipes too).  It's easier for me to talk about food, home decor, more food, fitness and zen, so that's the sort of stuff you'll be getting from me.  This is a short one since it's about time for bed, catch you all tomorrow.

Oh, by the way

http://disgruntledhousewife.com/ has been one of my favorite sites since ....who knows.  98 or 99.  I have no idea why I love Nikol's site/blog so much, but I do.

So... partake!

See also:  http://disgruntledhousewife.com/wordpress/ for further reference to proof of her ....zing.  I believe she is still selling random yarn-and-knitting-related things, which I keep wanting to buy but do not.  Much like reading her blog always makes me want to knit, but the embroidery is failing and spending $80 on knitting supplies that will go unused is just not smart right now.  Or maybe ever.

For those of you following along and deciding to cook your own appetizers to munch while you watch the show: if you ever decide to bake a veggie mix*, take it easy on the olive oil or be prepared to spend some time with a nice big bottle of Pepto Bismol.  Yergh, I have no idea what happened, exactly, but Jason is making me some tea and these crunchy SunChips (mm!) seem to be soaking up the evil in my bowels.

Actually the evil is more of a lurching in my stomach, I just like to type the word bowels.

Today the Amazing Rent-A-Psychic stopped by our work to give us free five-minute readings.  More on all this later, when the beast in my stomach has hushed up a bit.  My mind needs to not focus on anything, so that means it's time to go play some GOLF!

*chopped mexican squash, green beans and bella mushrooms. just raw veggies chopped up and baked for 15 minutes in olive oil at about 375.  it was a great idea in theory, i suppose.
