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 [...]

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.

Savoy cabbage & haricots verts with salsa verde on rice spaghetti, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
This is a less than original food post. I’d been meaning to try it since seeing the recipe in the Jan. 08 Bon Appetit, but I didn’t get around to it until Molly at Orangette sang the praises [...]

The end of the goat milk incident, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
You may recall my abject failure at making goat cheese.  I therefore made lemonade, by making a bacon & (Boston Organics) potato gratin with thyme, salt & pepper, and a pint and a half of thickened goat’s milk. Who says failure is bitter? [...]

On New Year’s Eve this (past?) year we took it easy. Our friend L. came over, and we had a little festival of frying.
First, though, a toast, the first of several, to the new year, with some “Il” Prosecco and raspberries. Fancied up cheap champagne? That’s how we roll.
