A few weeks ago I stumbled across mention of Clara, the 93 year old, who has her own youtube depression cooking series. At the time, I didn’t click, but flagged it for later review. I stumbled across it again, today, with time to watch and ended up spending an hour making my way through her […]
I’ve got a friend who likes a menu, so I am sharing with anyone who cares. Monday – Salmon Cakes and steamed broccoli – 1lb salmon per person, cooked – ~1/4 c breadcrumbs per lb salmon – 1 minced garlic clove – 4 sweet peppers (I use little bell peppers, any will do), to taste […]
Sorry if the last post made you lose your appetite. To make amends, I’m sharing my “I can’t believe it is fake” Caesar Salad Dressing that we attempted last night. I normally make the real stuff – egg yolk and anchovies, et al – but didn’t have anchovies on hand, so I faked it with […]
Now that you’ve enjoyed your Valentines dinner, I’ll share why I’ll be wasting away – our food is full of yuck. The New York Times included an article last week entitled The Maggots in Your Mushrooms about what our Food and Drug inspectors are looking for when they check out our food, and the guidelines […]
When your husband makes this for dinner: You can’t just show up with frozen pound cake. So I attempted parisian macaroons using Martha Stewart’s recipe (and incidentally, not the one I posted previously). Oh brother, those French are neurotic in a way that I can appreciate. What follows is what I learned, not necessarily what […]

So, here’s what we’ll be eating this week in case you want to follow along: Sunday – the school […]
It is just the kids, tonight. No daddy around. So Will and I decided we’d make rainbows for dinner. As we were discussing what foods we wanted to eat for each color, Will and I got into a heated debate about where crab fits into the rainbow – is it pink? Is it orange (per […]
There are many wonderful things about our nanny, the least of which is that her husband is a chef, and she sometimes leaves me yummy Indian or Nepalese goodness. Recently, she left me a chutney which interestingly is made from the same ingredients we use to make pico de gallo, only her proportions are completely […]
The Californian husband consumed this year’s luck and money in the form of a black eyed pea and cabbage burrito. He may be lucky and wealthy this year, but the mockery he made of our traditional dish might have bought him a ticket to a special layer in hell. Just can’t bring myself to share […]
I get the impression that chiles rellenos are a point of pride in Mexican families as every household (and restaurant) has their own unique recipe. Always one to pile in with the crowd, we’ve got our own recipe, too. These are modeled after my favorite chiles rellenos from Chuys. Like Chuy’s rellenos, our batter is […]
