A writer with a law degree. A crazy woman in the kitchen. Sometimes able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Diner bananas, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
There are lots of phrases to describe being crazy, but going bananas seems to be an apt metaphor. Everything seems to be safely encased in the tough, smooth, attractive skin, but then something changes, and your outer skin becomes thinner, more easily bruised, and your insides turn to gelatinous [...]

Typewriter 2, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
What I did as part of my summer mental breakdown: try and write on a laptop nearly as outdated as these typewriters, with no memory, an external wireless card, and no battery. Momma needs a new set of keys.

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 [...]

Old and new, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the aging process– how scary it can be to see people we love become frailer, or crankier, or more narrow-minded, but also (and in reading some M.F.K. Fisher) about what a relief it can be to get over some of the self-centeredness of [...]

My Better Half has many sterling qualities that are admirable and serious. But one of the most continuously endearing is his baby oranguntan hair in the morning. Every time I see it, I get melty all over again. What silly thing makes you fall in love all over again?
Happy Love Thursday. You can find other [...]

Poodelate. Well, it made sense at the time.
Revolufried? We couldn’t decide if it meant some newfangled frier machine that revolves, or some wonderful new fried food that was so revolutionary that it was, well, revolufried! (And really, it’s all my fault, because I was the one who played Wii on the second turn and got [...]
