In this installment of I’m A Moron and Write Moronic Things on the Interwebz, we will be learning how to broil bread and put raw tomatoes on it.

No, really.

I’m sorry to do this to you, I really am. BUT ALSO, this is really delicious and SO simple. Sort of fancy-ish in its simplicity, and can be eaten hot or cold so maybe…awesome dish?

Yep. Let’s go with awesome.

So, you remember how I went to Curate in Asheville and raved and raved about how its my new favorite restaurant and I wish it were closer to me and also that I need a new job to go there with any sort of frequency?

My favorite thing to eat there is this tomato bread, so I done recreated it at home. It tastes REALLY similar, and is a great summer appetizer or snack.

I made us steak!

I made this last week and it took 30 minutes, maybe less, and the flavors were incredible and we were celebrating ONE YEAR IN OUR HOUSE so it seemed like a good night for steak.

Got any nights coming up that might mandate steak?

This is the recipe to try, if so. Even if that night coming up is, say, Thursday night.

Welp, we have a new ongoing dilemma in the How to Get Married the Wrong Way saga of our lives.

I don’t know what to do about my name.

To clarify, this isn’t a REAL dilemma, like “do we pull the plug on our 16 year old comatose daughter” or anything like that. I’m marrying the best guy ever, we’re super happy, and employed, and healthy so….not a real dilemma.

The non-dilemma IS ongoing, though.

Where’s the Beef?

Guys something happened.

I got featured on what some might call an, ahem, conservative publication.

Portobella Burger

I had about a 3 second hesitation, and then realized “oh, they eat too.”

Duh. Weird how we get so caught up in “our” favorite news/entertainment outlets, isn’t it?

WELL.

I thought you might need something to go with the ever-so-slightly-decadent rice from yesterday so…..I made us a really light healthy fish!

If I were you I’d OF COURSE serve the two together, but this fish by itself is really nice and light so….I guess you could serve it with veggies or something like that if you’re feeling healthy.

What’s that like, by the way?

So, you can tell from the pictures that I made this on the same night as that lovely green baked rice, and this fish was GOOD. It was incredibly simple and came entirely from ingredients I already had at home. Also, once the fish thawed it took ten minutes so…never a bad thing.

Ohhhhhhhh this is comfort food but it tastes like Mexican food and it’s so easy and you can make it ahead and it’s vegetarian but hearty and filling and cheesy.

It’s great for a Monday, is what that should tell you.

This rice is all of the things.

Also, how was your weekend? Mine was kind of …. rained out. I had 93737 fun things planned for the sunshine, and then there wasn’t any so….whomp whomp.

We DID, however, celebrate a full year in our house! I did 3 loads of laundry to celebrate. Cool, huh?

Or not.

Guys it’s finally Friday.

I have my final yoga test this afternoon but then tomorrow my sister and I are going to a yard sale and a farmers market so….just gotta get through today?

Anyway.

Food.

I made this meal last weekend, and it was super easy-peasy, and REALLY delicious. Lots of the components can be made ahead or aren’t even really recipes so…let’s get to it!

So, our friends Wes and Sangeeta have a house in the mountains, kind of near where we’re getting married.

It’s close to where we live, but 10 degrees cooler, totally isolated, and totally mountainous. Duh.

We went there last weekend!

I made dinner one night, and part of the dinner was these meatballs. They’re lamb. They taste like a gyro. Or the middle east. Or something slightly foreign but SO flavorful and delicious and you want to eat 1,000 of them.

You know foods like that, right?

Let’s have Japanese food tonight, ok?

Do you want to?

I want to.

It’s easy, I promise! Today starts 10 full weeks of summer school insanity so….get ready for ALL THE EASY RECIPES to come spewing out of me. Seriously – there’s no other way to get through this together.

So, today. Easy-peasy-Japanesy, even though I hate that expression and this is kind of Asian fusion food….ok? Make sense?

I knew you’d understand.

I have told you that my beloved recently took a new job – correct?

It’s a great new job. He’s getting really good at it, but there’s definitely a learning curve, as exists with tons of new jobs. He’s been away for work 2/4 of the last weeks, so I’m GLAD to have him home.

One challenge we’ve found with Jay working at home that when 1. I walk in, 2. the dogs breathe, 3. someone knocks on the door, he’s interrupted. He does a ton of conference calling, and needed a good, albeit dorky, headset to block out some of the regular house noise.

So I bought him one.

And then we had the following conversation:
