Another bout with flu-like symptoms landed me at the gastroenterologist Thursday. Needless to say, I made this chili before that whole ordeal went down. Actually, a few of the doctors I visited Thursday suggested some of my symptoms might be induced by stress. So I really must limit my posts for the next month, as anxiety [...]

Wow. It’s been a week since my last post. I’ve been busy, busy, busy. Right after my final on Thursday, Gennaro and I had a flight to Michigan. We landed Thursday night, drove to Ann Arbor Friday morning for a photo session with our wedding photographer and spend all day in Ann Arbor. On [...] First things first. Mom. I know no one else who gives more of herself and asks so little in return, is able to laugh at the small things, and care deeply about the big things. The only reason I was able to turn my food allergy “lemons” into delectably free lemonade was because I [...] This recipe was a bit of an accident, as I had not planned on making anything to post tonight, but was looking, rather, to make a quick dinner out of a few pantry items. I had chickpeas on hand for making Happy Herbivore’s chickpea tacos, which I tried last week and was craving again. But not [...] Unless you have the knife skills of a Top Chef Master, you will probably have to get a vegetable spiralizer for this recipe. I got the idea to do zucchini “noodles” from Lexie’s Kitchen, one of my favoite blogs. Of course, this meant adding yet another contraption to our jam-packed tiny kitchen, but it [...] Quinoa week continues here with a risotto recipe from my friend Liz. Now, I was initially a little nervous about making this recipe, as Liz’s specific request was not only that I try it but that I improve on the one she’s been making. This was daunting because Liz comes from a large Italian family [...] Last week, my good friend Liz (and by good friend, I mean she’s standing up in my wedding) asked me to improve on a quinoa risotto recipe that she had at a restaurant and has been trying to recreate at home. The recipe sounded intriguing; quinoa given the risotto treatment. A very cool idea, [...] Apparently, it’s spring, though you wouldn’t know it from the 90 degree heat these past few days. I don’t know if this heat wave is a nationwide thing, but here in New York, it’s sweltering. It’s sweaty. And uncomfortable. So it’s a bit disorienting to go to the market and see asparagus, not tomatoes or [...] When Marisa Miller Wolfson was a guest speaker for my Animal Law class this past Tuesday, she was there to discuss the quite merciless reality of factory farming. Much of the class — even its ardent meat-eating constituents — were a little disgusted by the notion that the most ubiquitous items in the American diet are ubiquitous, [...] Lately I’ve been really enjoying shopping at the local Asian convenience store down the street. I sort of spend more time than one normally spends at grocery stores (even someone like me, who enjoys spending time at markets) perusing the aisles of bean pastes, chili oils, rice wrappers and seaweed. I’m sort of in awe at [...] |
