Food I Made But Did Not Blog About: 2012

This was not delicious.

Yum, though. But ow.

First pot of black beans from scratch! Edible!

Thai-ish green eggplant-chicken curry, infinitely more delicious than it looks.

Boyfriend's birthday tart: Almond paste with apricots and cherry preserves, recipe from Bon Appetit

Before I made those strawberries, these bowls had matching bottoms...
Iceberg lettuce and Chinese broccoli salad. It involved garlic.

I grew these!
and I have no idea what to do with them!

Best banana bread yet, from the kitchn. The secret is old bananas. Not yellow bananas, which aren't old, I just think they are.
Mujadara! A big thanks to the gentleman at Khalustyan's for making me sample what I will never have to buy again.

White bean ragout with whole wheat Israeli cous cous. Less delicious than you'd think

Temperamental chocolate babka broke despite ginger-careful-dont-wake-the-baby handling; S'okay, it got eaten anyway.
See? I make stuff all the time. Sometimes I even photograph it. And even more rarely, I blog about it.
But if you want a recipe for any of these things, I can do that.
