    A Warm Bowl of Creamy Goodness soup, veg | (11)
    Tiny bowl of soup, or GIANT MUTANT SPRIG OF PARSLEY? Does one need an excuse to make delicious, delicious soup? I aver that one does not. Especially in grey, late-February, frozen-slushy, cold and shitty weather. (I don't like February.) There's something about wielding the stick blender that just chases the clouds away. Oh, the power.

    Leftovers for…dinner?! leftovers | (3)
    Won't you please, please cheese me? After Thursday night's meat-o-rama, I didn't eat for most of the day. I wasn't stuffed from the night before, am not dieting and didn't feel sick; my body just didn't feel the need to eat for a while after, and with good reason. I decided to trust my gut (my literal gut, not my figurative one) and let it go until it sent me a memo re: when it would like to eat. Around 2pm, my gut decided that a cup of butternut squash soup was the way to go, prompting the ...

    Hardly even a recipe. fish, pasta | (2)
    Anyone who would like to donate a Nikon D70 is free to do so at any time. Shrimp + garlic + good butter + red pepper + pasta = tasty and satisfying homemade dinner suitable for the I-don't-feel-like-cooking-but-I-can't-order- any-more-Pad-Thai-takeout nights. You say you don't have those nights? You're never too tired or stressed to whip up a nutritious balanced home-cooked meal? To you I say, we are women of action. Lies do not become us. Keep going...

    Leftovers for Lunch beef, leftovers, veg | (4)
    People who need ribs are the luckiest people in the world. The only thing better than beer-braised short ribs are more beer-braised short ribs. We had lots of rib parts from Saturday night's ribstravaganza.* Rather than hunching over the kitchen counter and gnawing at the bones like starved vultures, I decided to try and turn them into a respectable dinner. After picking the first two shreds off the bone, I realized that this task would involve more congealed beef tallow under the fingernails than I had anticipated. But I had already started and my fingernails were already befouled, so ...

    The Lentil Stands Alone legumes, soup | (4)
    Baby, I'm-a want you. The soup winner: smoky lentil soup with andouille and spinach, a riff on Farmgirl Fare's lentil soup with smoked sausage. While not as photogenic as hers, it tastes fantastic and will be a great lunch tomorrow, which looks to be a prime soup day (wintry, wet, cold). It comes together really quickly and makes the house smell great, assuming you like your house to smell like smoked paprika. Keep going...

    Copycat. grains, re-creations | (2)
    It's midnight at the oasis. For Brian's birthday this year we went to dinner at Perilla, the new-ish restaurant in the West Village opened by Top Chef season 1 winner Harold Dieterle. I could easily wax rhapsodic about the crispy pork belly with pea shoots, trumpets, and banyuls-vanilla gastrique, which I ate entirely with my eyes closed so that other forms of sensory input would not interfere with the experience. But I won't because I have opted not to try and re-create the pork belly; it would be too dangerous. We consume enough pork products around these ...

    Lentil Rundown legumes, soup | (0)
    It's been colder than a witches' teat here in the northeast for the past few days, which always make me want hearty, comforting soups and stews. Today, I'm pondering lentil soup and looking for a new version of my standard lentils-onions and carrots-stock-bay leaf in a pot jobby. Our newly stocked pantry opens up a new world of flavor possibilities, so I'm searching for some new takes. These are all distinguished by virtue of not only sounding delicious and having some unique twists, but also by their beautiful photos which manage to look exactly like a ...
