A stream of consciousness from the brain of B.K. DeLong
« I took my second herbal | Main | Kirky's Tupperware Party went off »
February 02, 2001
It's been a long week - and I even worked at home two days this week. The boss has been having side-effects with her new medication and the doctor told Kirky, my wife, that they think she has a "wheat and gluten intolerance". I was amazed how much a wheat allergy effects what you can eat. Of course I say this as we're watching Martin Yan on Cooking Live with Sara Moulton on Food TV as they're making a delicious Triple Mushroom Soup and we're arguing about whether she will be allowed to eat bagels at the Tupperware party she's hosting tomorrow.
Food is a very central part of the DeLong household. I have a sweet tooth that will turn me into a diabetic in the next 2 years if we don't stop and we're both overweight. On top of that, Kirky is a phenomenal cook and can whip up complex scrumptious meals in no time at all. Tonight, for instance, I grilled a few small steaks on the outdoor grill using spices from Penzeys Spices given to us for X-Mas from my mother (Bicentennial Rub and Singapore Seasoning). Kirky used one of those frozen Birdseye pasta and sauteed some white button mushrooms with a little butter. De-licious.
