Baseball Moms at McCoy’s this September 11, so not much cooking for me. I had planned to make a Cobb salad for din, but had a big late-afternoon snack, and knew I’d have a bite at the bar, so sent John a quick email… Uh, Honey, I don’t think in all honesty that I’m making…

Wake up! Kind of tough on a dark, cloudy Sunday morning, but I’ve just discovered that a late breakfast of (reheated) spicy, garlicky falafel, in a warm pita with creamy, oniony yogurt sauce, gets the blood a’flowin’, hoooooeeeey! No one will want to come near me all day, but that’s OK. It’s a curl-up-with-a-book kind…

St. Paul Sweeney’s with my sweetie on this chilly Saturday afternoon. Fabulous burger, man it hit the spot, rarrr… Then we made our way over to the Grandview Theater to see Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth – excellent. After a long, scenic drive, we’re home and I’m supposedly pulling something together for dinner soon but…

Here’s a Friday night dinner…in fact, if you’re single, and your sweetie appreciates eggs, this is the perf impress-a-date dinner. More than a little sexy, because it’s got a just-tossed together-French thing going, and is mighty nice with a glass of wine. Nothing more than a simple salad of pretty, flavorful greens – perhaps arugula,…

I had planned braised beef short ribs for dinner tonight, but after my sweaty walk this morning, I realized it’s too damn hot outside for my fav short-rib feast, namely the silky ribs on polenta, polenta, and more polentaaaah. Or, more accurately, it’s too hot for them together, you know? I’ll save that dish for…

A Kick-Off the New School Year dinner tonight, very fancy, ha, homemade chicken noodle soup with freshly baked challah. Between the two of them, that’s probably the kids’ fav dinner. Nathan on his own would pick pepperoni pizza, while A on her own would choose bread, with chicken or steak. But together they lurve chicken…

Back to school today, at least for Nathan. A started last week, so tomorrow night will be our first night together with both kids back at it. Hmmm, I’ll have to plan something fun for dinner. Homemade bread would be tops on both of their lists, we’ll see if I pull it off. Stay tuned……

Fabulous late-summer dinner at Ana Scofield and Rudy Maxa’s lovely home last night. Cold, spicy shrimps. Smokin’ hot jalapenos, halved, filled with creamy goat cheese, and run under the broiler until browned and bubbly. Fish tacos filled with crispy cod, sliced avocado, roasted corn, and cilantro. Ana’s mom’s Columbian black beans. Rudy’s jewel-toned tomato salad…

La la Lucia’s! John and A brunched there yesterday and came back not just raving about the yumminess but also with tasties pour moi. Good move! In the goodie bag was a pre-made sandwich, purchased from the bakery – perfectly soft-chewy cracked wheat bread filled with salty ham, sharp cheddar, slices of truly ripe tomato…

Have you read Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma? I highly recommend it if you love food and cooking, but especially if you’re interested in the quality of your food, the circumstances under which it was produced, and understanding the benefits of eating locally, sustainably, and seasonally. Along the way, you’ll also gain an unsettling understanding…
