100!
This is the 100th post. In lieu of writing a fantastic entry to commemorate the occasion, I choose simply to acknowledge it. :)

Sunday Afternoon
So I've given in (well, I suppose I was never really fighting it) and installed the Stumble-upon toolbar in Firefox. Unfortunately, I found a couple fantastic food websites so have been drooling for the past hour-and-a-half or so at multiple amazing recipes. I'd like to think I'll try them when I get home, especially with ingredients from my garden, but I may not be quite so industrious.
Here's a few of the best:
This one is what did me in. It was the photos : http://www.tastespotting.com/
From the first site, I got to this one. Definitely will hit a few of these up: http://www.norecipes.com/
And this just looked fun: Margarita Cupcakes
In terms of my culinary inventiveness lately, I made a great dish on Wednesday night. I sauteed some onions and garlic in a pan, then added spinach. Added chopped tomatoes and basil (from a can) and cooked it down. Tossed in some fusilli, et voila.
Thursday afternoon made a soup with onion, fusilli, chicken stock, and carrots. Stock cubes are my new favorite thing. Thursday night went to a barbecue over in Rahoon. Irish pork sausages on the grill are divine--had only had them cooked in a pan before.
Thursday night played halo with boys. Managed to come in 3rd out of 4. w00t. It wasn't that I got killed a lot necessarily, but the map was so huge that I just ran around on my own a lot. It was a good night.
Later addition:
Inspired by my stumbling, here's what I made for dinner:
Fried mozzarella, topped with caramelized onions, on a bed of briefly-sauteed spinach perched in tomato sauce. The sauce came from a jar, but everything else was me own. Perhaps will add pictures. I plated it rather nicely, if I do say so myself.
