The beginning...

My name is Randi and I don't have a job. In its place I spend a lot of my time thinking about, buying and preparing food.

And riding my bike.

While I am slowing concluding that I must have some diagnosable problem with writing cover letters and sending in resumes, I am discovering my love of learning to cook and bake. You know those hip, cute, popular food/craft blogs where everything is local or fresh and handmade? I want that. So I started this.

Today I made Lime Ginger Ale with some left over grated ginger from my rice noodle, basil lunch dish. It will be ready in about a day and a half.

A friend recently went Gluten-free and gave me a large supply of oats. As a result, yesterday, I made Peanut Butter Oat Cookies with a semi-sweet chocolate drizzle. My first impression was raving: over cooked, dry, no flavor. But today they are softer and taste awesome. Delicious!
