Valdeefy-Weefs Meets the OC

eric came to california. and we went to jessica's house, with a real kitchen. so we made a lotta food.

i made ginger salmon burgers.
eric made tobasco burgers, blue cheese burgers, chipotle burgers, and garlic burgers. i ate a lot of the blue cheese ones. we served all the burgers on sourdough rolls with this ginger mayo i made. there was also lemon pasta and a salad of baby greens with pecans, blue cheese, and apples.

my zucchini cake project--many ingredients were missing, and i plan to do it again with many changes--but for the record, dana and eric said it didn't need any.

this breakfast started with the farro grain bread jess's dad bought me at il farro, aka the best italian food i've ever had. it's made with this grain that is not only super good for you, it also tastes unlike any other bread you've ever had. hearty and thick and ever so slightly sweet, yet is low-carb, low-gluten and packed with b vitamins. so i made orange-cinnamon-clove french toast with it.

i know these look weird and gross but they are super easy and deliriously addictive. they're just mini marshmallows and brazil nuts or kona-coffee flavored macadamia nuts, just a wee bit smothered in chocolate. seriously way addictive.

eric's sweet combo of OJ and POM lychee green tea.
