food sentences...ya know, sentences about food

our fridge is currently on the outs. our whipping cream is curdling.

our freezer is stock full of rice and whole wheat flour. really, like 8lbs of flour. (to kill weevils)

sometimes we go through an insane amount of matches trying to get our oven pilot light going.
instead of just containers of flour and sugar on the counter i have also added insecticide.


there is no dishwasher or garbage disposal. luxuries i certainly miss.

i have learned to make my own ranch dressing, syrup, and ricotta cheese. who knew???

a staple senegalese meal consists of rice, potatoes, carrots, and sauce and lots of onions.

i love that you can get fresh bread at any of the neighborhood boutiques.

You're awesome. I'm truly in awe of your ability to cook with so many bugs; I'd be yelping every few seconds.

P.S. I made lemon bars and brownies in the same day last week. Sound familiar? :)
