Cafe Rio pork!
One of the things I really miss about Utah is the ready availability of Cafe Rio - the closest one to me is clear up in L.A. County. When I discovered this recipe, and made a few modifications of my own, it helped reduce the DT's to at least manageable levels.

Peanut vinaigrette
I had some leftover little strips of chicken, and I decided I was going to put them on a salad for lunch today. I then remembered that I had some leftover peanut sauce in the fridge, and wondered if I could turn it into a good vinaigrette.

Why baking powder is important
So I was making my sister's recipe for honey oatmeal muffins today. (Aside: You should read my sister's blog. She has the Midas touch with food - all of her recipes are always fantastic.) I neglected one very important ingredient: the baking powder.

Thai peanut sauce
I have searched a lot for a peanut sauce recipe that I actually like, and that doesn't have weird ingredients that I'd never use except for, y'know, the peanut sauce recipe. (Fish sauce, anyone?) This one is really good! The consistency is good, it's a rich and full flavor, and it's not hard to make either. I got it from Our Best Bites.

First impressions
So, here I am in La Jolla. So far I love my new apartment - it's a corner apartment with windows on the north and west walls, so there's tons of natural light, and it always catches the breeze. After finally meeting my roommate last night and talking for like an hour, I think we'll have a good time here.

Moving
Embarrassingly many years ago, I made a blog on Blogger. That blog has served me well, but I've been casting a longing eye at the rolling green pastures of Wordpress for some time now. I'm moving from Salt Lake to San Diego for grad school, so I figure now is a good time to relocate my blog as well.
