Win some, lose some
Most of my cooking experiences are successes fortunately; however, even a seasoned cook has failures every now and then. This weekend I found black mission figs at the farmer's market and wanted to make a blue cheese-fig dish that a friend made a while back. It's essentially just figs cut in half, with a squirt of honey and some blue cheese...
Cat sitting
I've been cat-sitting for some friends lately, taking care of this pudgy little fuzz ball: He's the most talkative cat I've ever met, the kitty version of a Chatty Cathy... a Chatty Catty??

Rigatoni alla Delicious
