new picture

Dig my new header picture! I went to the big downtown farmer's market on Saturday and got some delicious produce. My definition of produce includes peaches 'n cream pastries. Anyway, I took the new header picture you see above with my sweet new Rebel xsi in an effort to make this blog less templatey. The pepper on the right is a pimiento de Padrón, which I'll cook up later and show you. Sorry I was gone so long, but there's a lot of new stuff coming up soon. Enjoy!

farfalle with feta and chipotle

My friend Sabrina just made me this for me a few nights ago (actually, more like I showed up at dinnertime), and I had to immediately run out and get the stuff to make it. The flavor is cilantro-lime smoky-spicy with a nutty crunch. This is so good that I'm actually making a new category - potluck - that is for food to dazzle people with at potlucks. The key ingredient is definitely the chipotle pepper powder, which is tough to find, but is totally essential. You can get it at Limbo in Portland (next to the Trader's on 39th) or if you can't find it, I would be happy to send you some. Here's the recipe. Also, 9 WW points, but you could cut the olive oil and save a few.
