Lesson I learned this past week: I could never have had a food blog while pregnant. No, no I am NOT pregnant. But how those of you keep up writing and reading about food when you are nauseated is beyond me. A malevolent and fast moving stomach virus hit my family this past week and…
Garlic, White Bean and Chorizo Stew With Spinach and Sherry Vinegar
Garlic, White Bean and Chorizo Stew With Spinach and Sherry Vinegar is the perfect example of just a few quality ingredients leading to a delicious meal. I made this dish a second time in November 2015 and updated the photos. This recipe was definitely outside of my comfort zone. As some of you know, I…
Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup
I love mushroom soup. I don’t get to eat it that often, because to me it is a starter soup, not an entree soup, and anyone who reads my bog knows I mostly make entree soups. It is also a little indulgent, depending on how much cream you use. So when I had the idea…
Indian Spiced Pumpkin Lentil Stew
It is amazing how long it can take you to get around to trying a recipe. Many fall by the wayside (hopefully less so now that I have started To Try Tuesdays which will be back next Tuesday, so look for it then), but some stick in my head, no matter how long it takes…
A Drunken Pot ‘O’ Beans
I’ve had a hectic, back and forth to Columbus, lingering virus, blah blah blah week or so, and when I recently got back from Columbus I did not want to think about anything complicated for dinner. As a matter of fact, what I really wanted was beans. It may surprise you to learn that while…
Somewhat Tarascan Bean Soup
You are staring at the title of this post, the pictures, and possibly scratching your head, unless you are quite familiar with regional Mexican food. There are actually 2 ways of making Tarascan soup, one with a chile-ancho-tortilla base, as I made last week, and one with a purred bean and tomato base. I bookmarked…
The Power Of Garnishes: Sopa Tarasca (Tarascan Soup)
There are 6 “flavors”–well actually I think the Japanese and potentially other cultures say there are more–but there are 6 that I can discern: sour, salty, sweet, bitter, hot and umami/savory. Hot is not really a flavor to me, despite what I just said. Umami is kind of nebulous–I know that I like it but…
A Fix Of Creamy Poblano Soup
I made sopa de lima the other day because John was feeling under the weather and soup seemed right, even thought it was hot. Well since then, it seems like we have been craving more soup, as though we were addicts who had broken the addiction for summer–but once we had one bowl, we kept…
My Delayed But Intense Love Affair With Tom Ka Gai
Tom Ka Gai (sometimes spelled Tom Kha Gai) is a delicious and fresh Thai coconut soup, flavored with galangal, cilantro and lime. I updated these photos in December 2016; they look a little different, because I let each person add their own nam prik pao, which means the photos were taken before it was added,…
