Watermelon Margaritas

By request from Amy ;) . I may be fudging a bit on the proportions b/c I can’t find the book I got them out of (plus I ended up, like, tripling the recipe), but this will give you a general idea. As a note, I thought it needed more kick.

North African Fish Stew

Cookthink’s been good to me lately. Cooked this recipe (with slight tweaking) and was impressed what a great, robust addition it made to our weekly fish resolution.

Pork tenderloin over braised leeks

My First Meatloaf!

I’ve never made meatloaf before – in fact, I wasn’t sure whether I liked it. But I had a ton of seasoned hamburger meat leftover from the party’s burgers, so it seemed a good thing to try. I used Alton Brown’s recipe, with some slight adjustments.

Roasted Vegetable Salsa

Super easy salsa recipe – the results were sweeter than expected, with lots of depth. This was a clean-out-the-fridge recipe, so vegetables can be adapted pretty easily depending on what you have on hand.
