cooking!

One of my new roommates just happens to be a world-class chef. I’ve become a bit of an apprentice. This week h/we (perfectly) pan-seared scallops. Yum.

We started by going to a magical land called Russo’s. Think Whole Foods but not so expensive and corporate. Yes, it’s amazing.

Pete shows me how to choose an onion.











It's time to get down to business.



Thyme oil in action.

Did cauliflower ever look so good?

Lemon zesting in action.

The result!
