Posted in chains, cooking, flickr, food, gluten free, low carb, photos on Jul 13th, 2008
I have been cooking, just not recently. Tonight, I actually got to make some dinner with the produce of a shopping trip to Roslindale Square. (Or “Rozzie,” for those in the know.”) Dinner was just a caprese salad, a simply pan-roasted pork chop, and broccoli sauteed on high heat with onions, red [...]

Spinach, pear, and chicken apple sausage salad, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
A riff on a Food and Wine recipe from years ago. Low(ish) carb, and gluten free (check the sausages and soy sauce to make sure they’re GF). I don’t use asian pears, just regular pears or granny smith apples. I’ve also stopped soaking the sausage [...]
Taste as a cerebral event, as a physical sense

Not long ago, She She asked me if I’d read a piece in The New Yorker about Grant Achatz, the chef of Alinea in Chicago. Achatz developed cancer in his mouth and tongue, and underwent radical radiology and chemotherapy in the hope that he could save his tongue, in the hope that at some point, [...]

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.

To make: I de-stemmed, tore, [...]
