I am ashamed.

So, I kept telling myself, "Elyse, it's only been a little while. It's ok."

But, no. It has been over a month. Which is mildly embarrassing. In my defense, I haven't done a ton of cooking lately. I have been uninspired, and generally just apathetic about my kitchen. It's the time of year that even though I am inside all the time, I don't have anything fresh that inspires my palette. The produce seems bland, and all of the winter recipes I know feel tired and old. Also, there have been just enough food events at work and in the community that I haven't had to cook as many dinners, but that in turn means not often having lunch leftovers. So, it has been a funny month back at home, with little to report on.

Contributing to my culinary malaise would be the fact that my EBT card hasn't been working since November. This, paired with the fact that I don't have a car this year, means significantly fewer trips to the grocery store. Which, in turn, means I am not getting food on my own.

However, this weekend I should be receiving nearly 600 new dollars of EBT money. Firstly, I'll have to repay my roommates, who have been bearing the costs of food shopping for months now. Then, I will go wild and buy some decadent food to inspire me again.

All of that aside, there are some memorable food experiences over the last month or so. I will post another one reviewing such escapades.
