red cabbage slaw with peanuts and dukkah
We have lately entered the phase that I assume is a rite of passage for all parents, where at least part of our dinner a couple times a week is "whatever our toddler didn't eat." (This is especially because one of his favorite new phrases is "No-no," which he uses often and with delight.) All things considered, it's actually a fortunate turn of ...
curried couscous with roasted cauliflower
As it turns out, one of the happier features of law school and, now, law firm life is the dependable occurrence of free lunches at least once a week--whether for a talk, or a deposition, or just inexplicably placed in a breakroom and abandoned for three hours (that's okay, I'll still eat it). As someone who will happily consume anything that's ...
more bits and bats
Today is the very last day of B2's trip to Korea! For the last week, B2 has been taking depositions in Seoul and we odd-numbered bowls have been fending for ourselves in a papa-less wilderness. For me this has meant subsisting solely on the weird-but-maybe-balanced diet of roasted Brassicas (of which B2 is not fond), ramen, and gigantic M&M ...
salt & pepper garlic fries with jalapeno & cilantro
The calendar tells me that it has been more than one month since I was last here, which feels both much shorter and much longer than the reality (as always seems to be the case). The biggest event of the last month for us, though, is definitely this: We are now officially the proud parents of a bona fide, honest-to-goodness toddling toddler. Our ...
pho noodle salad
We are in the midst of a thoroughly January state of affairs: We got home on New Year's Eve from our trip to see B2's parents in Honolulu, where I was lazier, more relaxed, and more rested than a parent with a toddler has any right to be (God bless grandmas), and in the midst of our post-Hawaii gloom, were all promptly felled by the Great ...
crispy goat cheese rounds with shallot vinaigrette
With work picking up again after a slow start coming back from maternity leave, this project, and our ever-growing obsession, I haven't had nearly as much time as I would like to make or share recipes from the wealth of stellar cookbooks that have come out this spring. There are so many! But I'll get there. For now, I'm starting with an impossibly ...
potatoes with sugar snaps, pickled shallots, & dill
Judging from the calendar, we are in the thick of picnic season, or for me, toss-everything-with-mayonnaise-and-maybe-eat-it-at-a-picnic-but-probably-just-straight-from-the-fridge season. My last post notwithstanding, I almost didn't realize it; after years in New York, where I spent the first third-to-half of each year in an intense and unceasing ...
