Single serving spinach salad, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
Last night’s supper, a spinach salad with warm bacon vinaigrette, heavy on the protein. I was feeling the need for minerals and fat– I suppose another sign I am feeling better, and that the horrible carb cravings of medication withdrawal are passing.
To make: I de-stemmed, tore, [...]

Lest there be any question of my ability and/or willingness to cook a vegetarian meal, I present to you tonight’s supper, based upon an idea from a Mark Bittman recipe in one of his The Minimalist cookbooks. It’s pretty straightfoward, and made with [...]
