I am in the middle of a career transition, which means I am staying up late and stocking our deep freeze with very many easily defrostable suppers and generally just doing everything but writing for pleasure.

Crispy Baked Lentil Spinach Pierogies
On April - 16 - 2011

Hey! Everybody! You can make super, cheap, yummy and healthy microwave popcorn yourself without contributing to Orville Reddenbocker’s sick, chemical laden, monopoly of breakroom microwaves everywhere!
