Do you have any dates that for whatever reason you just absolutely cannot get straight in your head? Even though you always remember your best friend’s birthday, all of your siblings’ and your mom’s, but for some reason your dad’s birthday just eludes you? Is it the 5th or the 6th? It’s just me? Fine.
Calabacitas With Seared-Then-Simmered Pork Tenderloin
I mentioned in my last post that I fell in love with Vienna. The building that really got me was not the famed opera house or St. Stephens’ Cathedral, the gothic heart of the city. Instead it was Karlskirche, an early 18th century cathedral of fascinating design
Eat Write Reatreat 2011: Fettuccine in Bianco with Asparagus, Mushrooms and Asiago Cream
As most of you know, I attended Eat Write Retreat this past weekend. I am (I think) one of the last attendees blogging about it–it amazes me how fast people got their review posts out. I needed time to sleep, to drive home, to sleep, to relax, to process the entire event, to sleep some…
Coconut Lentil Soup with Potatoes and Peas
The Spiced Life family just got back from a whirlwind trip to Disney World! John got invited to talk at a conference there and we said yes, please! 3 days nonstop parks with rides, princesses, food, princesses, fairies, princesses… So please forgive any typos or just plain incomprehensible sentences. My brain feels like Swiss cheese;…
Lentil & Potato Casserole with Pumpkin & Tomatoes, Topped With Phyllo Crust
I cannot say enough good things about this meal. It is delicious, nutritious, interesting–but not so interesting that it would scare people away. It might be too unusual to your typical Midwestern palate to describe as proper gateway Indian food (and indeed it is not properly Indian anyway), but I would describe it as good…
Stir Fried Tamarind Shrimp
I’ve been trying to figure out why my blogging has slowed down lately, when I realized that I did the majority of my writing late at night–the same as I did all the way through high school, college and law school. Only now I have to get a kid to school by 8:45 am–and while…
Rustic Chickpea Puree with Pasilla Chile, Mint & Cider Vinegar
The first meal back from a vacation is always interesting. You’re never sure what is in your fridge, your pantry, what has gone bad, what might still be use-able, what your husband might have eaten in your absence…. For example, I threw out 3 onions when making this soup, that had apparently gone bad in…
Springtime Bacon & Egg Fried Rice
It’s that time of year again–the farmer’s market has gone back to being weekly. And the farmer’s market is, in my experience, the only place to get interesting early spring vegetables, like scapes, green garlic and greens you’ve never heard of, like komatsuna greens. If you’re farther south than I am, you might also be…
Happy Turkey Day Everyone! Red Lentil Apricot Soup
I am typing this up on Wednesday, because you know how turkey makes you catatonic and who knows when I will have the energy to blog about everything I made for Thanksgiving and oh yeah I’m not serving turkey, I’m serving prime rib but holy moly I am tired. And besides I’ll have guests tomorrow…
