WIAW # f-i-v-e: Time Jump

Evening/morning/afternoon ladies and gents.  I apologise for being a bum and not posting any recipes.  I promise!  This weekend!

Welcome to WIAW:  Burned out Edition!







As always, thanks to the lovely Jen at peas and crayons for hosting this shin dig.


I've had a hell of a week since last Wednesday.  I've been temping as a personal assistant this week, and lets just say the first day didn't go to well.  (I spilled coffee in the boss man's lap!  I didn't realise this was possible outside the parameters of some beta-lady chick flick.)

Thankfully it's gone a bit better since then (no spills!), but by the time I get home I'm pooped and just want to stuff my face and watch a Frasier.  Scrambled eggs all over my face, what is a girl to do?


So that brings me to my next point of mediocrity/laziness.  The meals which you are about to witness did not all happen in the same day.  To be quite honest I'm not sure where or when these bad boys happened,  but I do remember that they were all extremely tasty....

WIAW IV: This Time It's Personal

Great title right?  (Maybe if this post was a part of a film quadrilogy in which I blow things up.)  Any who, it's WIAW again kids, and this being the fourth post means:  I've been doing WIAW for  a whole MONTH!!!!  Woooo!!!

You see I usually fail at making commitments to personal projects, so this is quite a milestone for me.  I've got to say, it does help to know people read these posts (whilst so many of my others are left out in the cold *tear*).


Enough of my yammering- let's get to the eats!

Tasty Tuesday: Pizza and Porridge

Happy Tasty Tuesday everyone!  Be sure to stop by and say thanks to Alissa at 33 shades of green for hosting this awesome blog party.

 I've got two new greenhorn gourmande original recipes for you to sink your teeth into.  More after the jump!

Pie for the Poor

This Saturday I went to the most awesome event EVER!

Picture this boys and girls: free (good!) beer, 25 delicious savory pies, and a really good cause.  What is this gloriousness you ask?  The Brooklyn Kitchen hosted a savory pie contest to benefit the Greenpoint Soup Kitchen and Food Pantry.  Basically people paid a small fee to enter the contest, and even smarter people (->yours truly<-) paid a small fee for the chance to taste these philanthropic pies.


There were about 25 pies in the contest, and I managed to snag pictures (though unfortunately not a taste!) of the ones I found most interesting.

Let the pie porn begin!!!

WIAW the III

Happy hump day everybody!






This WIAW was brought to you by the letter T- for Tuesday.  Yesterday was a pretty good food day.  I managed to have bacon in two out of three meals (the remnants from my baconocalypse), and I ended the day with freshly baked cookies.  What could beat that?

For those of you not in the know, WIAW stands for What I Ate Wednesday, a blog party hosted by Jen over at Peas and Crayons.  Basically you post the pictures and descriptions of what you ate during any given day.

Anyway, here we go!
