If you are ... http://www.culinarydisaster.com/wordpress/08/the-little-brioche-that-almost-rose/ I hate it when I cook something and there is nothing self-deprecating to write about.  I have been staring at my computer screen typing and deleting such wonderful thoughts as the apple is red or the green spaceman jumped bail.  Normally in these situations I turn to my wonderful friend ... http://www.culinarydisaster.com/wordpress/04/lemon-quinoa/ All this bloody baking is going to cause me to spiral quickly into a drunken haze of insanity.  The plan was a simple one in that before bedtime on Friday night I would have perfectly shaped bagels resting in the fridge overnight.  This would allow me to wake up on ... http://www.culinarydisaster.com/wordpress/01/beer-brats-and-bagels/ Another grueling battle in the kitchen of Jeff versus the Bread Baker's Apprentice.  In this week's round I had to go against Artos or one of his many variations.  I chose to fight his evil cousin the Christopsomos which has raisins, walnuts, and dried cherries mixed into it.  According to ... http://www.culinarydisaster.com/wordpress/26/grilled-salmon-with-dill-caper-vinaigrette-and-challenge-2-of-bba/ I hope that I am not the only one during the spring and summer who slows down on posting.  To me this time of year is meant to be enjoyed outside not spent inside trying to be creative or screwing around with Photoshop. I really hit a creative wall today as ... http://www.culinarydisaster.com/wordpress/22/mexican-inspired-quinoa/ I found morel mushrooms!!!  To clarify for those who have been following the ongoing saga, Jeff hunts for mushrooms in the woods, no I did not put on my hiking boots and get lost in the woods.  However, on Saturday when it was pouring rain and once again to wet ... http://www.culinarydisaster.com/wordpress/18/creamy-morel-mushroom-pasta/ I am sure that when people think vegetarian cooking my blog is one of the last that comes to mind.  For all the meat centric dishes that are displayed on this blog there is a lot of vegetarian dishes that play second fiddle but never get any credit.  This needs ... http://www.culinarydisaster.com/wordpress/14/wild-mushroom-soup/
