I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so simple to make that no recipe is required.

Creamy Basil Pesto Pasta Salad
Y’all are familiar with oxymorons, right?

Memories of Canadian Beef*
*Or, This Is Not a President’s Choice Product** *Or, See How Much I Want to Attend Eat, Write, Retreat ? [Voilà–homemade, veggie-based “beef” jerky.
