Here, chez BLC, the joke with grocery shopping is to be extra careful with the bag with the eggs. “Hey, be careful, there’s eggs in there!” is the invariable caution. Which makes every other “be careful” warning turn into “hey, there’s eggs in there.” Yep. One line, one trick ponies.
So when I was contemplating the [...]

Summery poached halibut, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
Yes, I actually cooked dinner for the first time in ages. Nothing like being bipolar to screw up the cook part of the identity.
Halibut steak poached in olive oil, white wine, and three ears of corn (cut from the cob), two chopped beefsteak tomatoes, and two dozen chopped [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Teriyaki salmon with garlic/scallion snowpeas and ginger carrot slaw, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
Trader Joe’s frozen wild coho salmon fillets (sorry, Helen!), thawed, marinated 1/2 hour in Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki sauce, then seared with canola oil in a 9 inch nonstick saute pan for 2 minutes on the bottom, 3 on the top. The [...]

GF Pasta with pesto, potatoes, & green beans, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
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 [...]

For Valentine’s Day, I was looking for both a project and a way to save some money. I mean, I love my family and friends, but $18.00 a pound is a little much for chocolates. Fortunately, the March 2008 edition of Fine Cooking has an article on the wonders of chocolate ganache, and [...]

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 [...]
