I love to cook– and my waistline makes no secret of it. But I don’t care so much about my waistline that food still doesn’t (and always) come first. I try to plan a few meals a week for cooking, and for working on my stack of recipe clippings.
But… shhhh… I get tired [...]

Yet again, I find myself besieged by carrots. I somehow got a five pound bag of carrots in my Boston Organics box that I know I didn’t order, but there it was, and there it remained. I have slowly begun using them up, but I think I am going to have to add [...]

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.
In the background on [...]

Stealing a page from inspired by Mrs. G’s blog posts of her favorite things, here are a few of my favorite things:
Teddie Peanut Butter, natural super chunky. I grew up in the town where it’s made, and there is nothing like the odor of roasting nuts, wafting out of nowhere.
Dr. Bronner’s organic lavender liquid [...]

I’m almost through the second week of lithium, and it’s been an interesting process. Last week, I was taking 300 mg, and I thought I would die at one point. This week, I’ve been taking it 300 mg twice a day, and trying to remember to take it at supper. I missed [...]

Gotta look snazzy when running errands.
Working away like it’s August, not October.
He also thinks it’s August.
Coolidge Corner, Brookline.
The old SS Pierce building in Coolidge Corner.
A little wine shopping at Trader Joe’s.
Random necessities: tuna, mango slices, eggs, salami.
Some of the booty from Brookline Booksmith.
The very nice neighborhood around my SIL’s place.
More of the neighborhood.
Um, taking [...]

It’s been hell at work recently, so since my last post about making a carrot/red lentil/rice soup/stew, which incidentally makes an excellent complement to a grilled lamb shoulder chop, see left, I haven’t done any cooking. The Better Half has made me supper a few times, but really, I’ve also just been Off My [...]

I’ve been crazy busy and not cooking much, so tonight I said, “screw work, I’m cooking dinner.” Nothing special, but I had some nice broccoli in the Boston Organics delivery, as well as a surfeit of onions and some mild Italian sausage in the freezer. I also had some ricotta salata that I [...]

Here’s my attempt at a Ginger Beef & Broccoli stir fry. I marinated the beef in soy sauce, the juice of 1/2 a lime, some Penzey’s Bangkok Blend, and a grated thumb (1 1/2 inches, appx.) of fresh ginger for an hour before cooking. I par-steamed the broccoli in the wok before starting [...]

It feels like I haven’t been cooking, but that’s not precisely true. At this time of year, dinner is more about assembling some of the many fresh [...]
