Paul's Boutique and Potatoes, With My Sister

This is literally footage of a watched pot that isn't boiling yet. The entertainment value is close to nil, but the filming experience was AWESOME! Two Meagher sisters reveling in some Beastie Boys, cooking a big dinner.

But still. For the sheer narcissism required to put this video on the internet, and then dedicate a blog post to it... I'm sorry.

 

Matt's Quinoa Salad

Way better than what I make:

He seasoned the quinoa with olive oil, fresh-cracked pepper, and garlic while it was cooking. Topped it with fresh, crisp bacon. Tossed it with avocado, cilantro, tomato, cucumber, celery, and scallions.

The culinary talent is not the ONLY reason why I married him, but it is certainly a very compelling facet of the attraction. Aww, yeah.

Low-Carb Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Okay, okay, okay. This is so asinine of me that I'm really proud of myself. It got an expletive AND an eye-roll out of my husband, who is busy preparing garlic pepper quinoa salad.

For my "blood sugar got low" after-work snack right now, I present to you, my low-carb grilled cheese sandwich. It is a dish of cheese that I microwaved.
