Revolufried? We couldn’t decide if it meant some newfangled frier machine that revolves, or some wonderful new fried food that was so revolutionary that it was, well, revolufried! (And really, it’s all my fault, because I was the one who played Wii on the second turn and got [...]

Green Couscous Salad, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
I made this for a BBQ our friends A. and P. threw. Quite yummy– we chowed it all down while the boys went out for more propane.
Take some israeli couscous (pastina would work fine, too), cooked 15 min. in olive oil and double the amount of water. Put [...]

I am not a gardener. My proudest accomplishment is not killing the Spawn of Larry the Jade Plant, a jade plant at my brother-in-law’s work the size of a triceratops. But I have always helped my Dad plant his garden, and harvesting’s not a problem– I am a cook, a former CSA sharer, and [...]

My husband’s coworker, Amy, recently started a website to showcase her lovely mosaic boxes, wall hangings, and mirrors, at Riverview Crafters. She makes things like the box, below, and I’ve seen them in person– they’re beautiful and unusual. Amy’s a talented artist– she also has her priorities right and has insisted that the [...]

… or y’all, for my southern readers. What you see above is one of my favorite places—at my computer, with you, emailing with you, IMing with you, writing for you, reading your posts and comments, drinking my tea and enjoying the pleasure of your company.
When I started this blog, it was as a woman thrashing, [...]

White, closeup, two, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
I had the chance to meet up with Sara of Moving Right Along (and her equally amazing friends Dena and Sylvia) on Sunday at my own Jamaica Plain’s Arnold Arboretum. Sara got to break in her new prosthetic leg, earned with battle scars after her most recent cancer-go-round, [...]

Mark your calendars, and thank Michelle for the suggestion. The first annual BipolarLawyerCook Ice Cream Social will take place the afternoon of June 28, 2008. I will have lots of ice cream, but please BYO favorite flavors, and we’ll do what bloggers and commenters do best– talk amongst ourselves, argue about what’s best, and enjoy some [...]

My lovely readers, you know and embrace your inner beauty, right? Well, my good friend C. forwarded me an email reminding me to explicitly embrace my inner beauty tomorrow, on International No Diet Day. So, take a day off from media images (unless they’re Queen Latifah, or Salma Hayek, or Glenn Close) and eat what [...]

Yesterday morning on my way in to work…
Oh my God, WHY is it taking so long for this line to get to the front? All I want is a dozen doughnuts! I swear they’re conspiring against me. This always happens! I hate this, I am never shopping here again, I should totally leave. But I [...]

Ok, it’s perhaps anticlimactic to name my new bra as my second-ever secret girl(s)friend, but really, meet my new inner beauty. I introduce to you the “Barely There” Invisible Look Underwire Bra.
My girls are not as, ahem, generous as the ones in this picture, so I can use the light padding and underwire to [...]
