Hiatus.

So I'm in the new kitchen now. It's clean and usable and has a gas range (read: AWESOME) but I'm just not in a position to do anything fancy with it. Don't have all of my implements, don't know where everything in the kitchen is, left all my spices at home, etc. Sigh. It's going to be a minimalist summer, unfortunately. I'm thinking I may start stretching Chinese and Indian takeaway out of convenience and thriftiness.

The bright side, I think it might be a nice idea, starting in the fall, to make something nice once a month. The general gist of all of this is to compile things that are simple, cheap, and/or quick, but it would be nice to try out some of the more complicated recipes and more exotic ingredients. So there's that.
