I Need Seven Dinner Guests, Now
August 12th, 2007 | 3 Comments
When I first started cooking, I had to cook for my family of five and make sure to have leftovers. I was able to scale back some when I moved out, but I basically have no idea how to cook for fewer than four people at once.* It doesn’t occur to me to not use the entire box of pasta or the entire pack of chicken breasts until after I’ve made a vat of food and a huge mess.
So, anyone want some chicken pasta?
Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant is one of my favorite comfort foods. I love it’s fatty, mushy goodness and I love that it’s usually smothered in cheese or paired with ground meat, or drowned in some delicious, salty, soy-based sauce.
Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits

Biscuits are a different story. I’ve tried the ready-made biscuit dough, gleefully pulling on the paper strip until the can pops satisfyingly, and…that’s about the only thing satisfying about pop-and-bake biscuits. The biscuits are dry and flat, the flavor is flat and overwhelmingly flour-y, and…no. These are not the biscuits I crave, not the biscuits I want to have with fried chicken or with sausage smothered in gravy.
