I can barely drink milk that’s not my favourite organic cream-top milk now. Everything else tastes like malk from The Simpsons. Difference between American “white bread” an’ like, actual baked bread.

I forgot how bad the Bonapartes was. Watching the first episode of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares… The show was named after that joint.

It should be a crime to stop selling winter teas in January WHEN WINTER GOES INTO MARCH IN MINNESOTA—I'm looking at YOU, REPUBLIC OF TEA!!!

I know the neighbourhood potluck is in a few weeks, but I’m still thinking about what I’m gonna bring an’ how I’m gonna bring it.

I prefer simple, buttery crackers like Skyflakes to enjoy melted Fontina Val d’Aosta and wild cherry jam on. And none are in stock. Sigh…

This hard chewing gum is great! I’m already used to chewing tough things, but in any case, it’s pleasantly stimulating activity.

Reading about the shift in food criticism from haute cuisine to more populist Bourdain-style “No Reservations”. Fascinating!

Midnight salmon fillets are great. Next time I’ll use stronger seasoning—really gotta pack it into the flesh. (It’s been a while!)

Salmon was on sale, so I picked up pork chops today. In addition to salmon.

Stomach full of savoury butternut squash fries. Life is good. Feel like munching on some dark greens tomorrow, wonder what I should pick up…

Can’t wait to use my new Bundt cake pan!

After gym, I’ll bake poppy seed bread and work on the red Walkman—so much music on it already. I’m thankful for that old man and his widow.

3 AM an’ the potatoes are baking an’ it’s the perfect time to get some exercise. Fuck yeah!

I should’ve picked up some Jucy Lucy burgers on my way home from work last night… Damn…

My boss forgot to tell me I got a raise and my supervisor says I’m not allowed to spend the extra money on gallons of chocolate milk

My eyes are hungering for BREAD. No, seriously, homemade bread. I’m gonna pick up extra milk for baking over the weekend.

The vermouth is great. The potato is great. You know, I think life is great. Maybe I’ll play out in the snow tomorrow. This is good alcohol

Time for a hot bath and Jeni’s milkiest chocolate ice cream and some alcohol. Perfect way to cap off the holiday break!

The raspberry white hot cocoa is my favourite so far. 🌹

Rose cardamom hot cocoa is so. Decadent.

Next time, I’m adding more ham to the butternut squash stew. But the amount of mozzarella cheese I added was perfect. Wintertime favourite.

Bro I love living in an apartment building that serves free breakfast treats every now an’ then. Fuck yeah doughnuts and blueberry juice

Boiling eggs from two different farms to taste-test them. Butternut squash stew is cooking, just finished eating a Hawaiian burger. Mmm.

Australia is hiring butchers from Minnesota to train their own populace in the fine art of meat prep. Funny how that could’ve been me!

Oh, I’m so glad I went to Lunds! I love their free Real Food magazine. Butternut squash and mushroom lasagna soup… I need to cook this…

Chocolatey dessert wine and cookies and cream ice cream are the perfect combination. God, I love Winter.
