Love Thursday
Posted in Love Thursday, Shutter Sisters, cooking, flickr, food, links, photos, wine on Apr 17th, 2008
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 [...]
More carrots, or Beef and Carrot Daube, a fancy french pot roast
Posted in Boston Organics, Pantry cooking, cooking, flickr, food, gluten free, links, photos, recipes, wine on Feb 2nd, 2008
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 [...]
Round things fry-fest, 2007-2008
Posted in Better Half, Boston Organics, cooking, flickr, food, friends, gluten free, links, photos, recipes, sparkly, wine on Jan 24th, 2008
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 [...]
Some favorite things

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 [...]
Infrequent home cooking
Posted in Better Half, Boston Organics, cooking, dad, food, links, photos, recipes, wine on Oct 11th, 2007
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 [...]
Sausage and broccoli with ricotta salata
Posted in Boston Organics, Pantry cooking, cooking, food, gluten free, recipes, wine on Sep 21st, 2007
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 [...]
Ginger Beef Broccoli Stir Fry
Posted in Boston Organics, Pantry cooking, cooking, gluten free, low carb, photos, recipes, wine on Sep 8th, 2007
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 [...]
