squid ink pasta aglio e olio

October 4, 2019

Back when we were wee law students in Cambridge, B2 and I ventured out into the North End for a very Boston evening. We walked the cobblestone streets and picked up cannolis from Modern Pastry in their cheerfully string-tied boxes; we ate them on a bench in a park outside Haymarket Station, all shattering shells and clouds of pastry cream, puffs ...

pho noodle salad

January 18, 2018

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 ...

crab fried sticky rice with jalapeño aioli

July 19, 2017

My commute here in LA is almost the same as it was in New York, 40 minutes give or take. The only difference is that I sit my butt in a little Corolla instead of the blue-benched 4/5, and so I can no longer do either of the two things I used to do on my commutes in New York -- sleep, or read, but mostly sleep -- because I would die. For exactly 3 ...

cafe mami’s yaki beef & tofu

March 15, 2017

Last weekend we had a couple of exceptionally wonderful friends come all the way from snowy Cambridge to visit us and meet Luke for the first time.  Their visit was especially well-timed, not least because B3 was at his chattiest and chubbiest, now that he has 4 1/2 months under his belt (although he was also at his sleep-training saddest come ...

molly’s all of the alliums fried rice

September 21, 2016

I think fried rice may have been one of the first things I learned from my mother and grandmother in the kitchen.  I imagine it must be like Sunday gravy in that every family has their own little way of doing things, though I don't know that ours was so much a heirloom recipe as just an easy, quick, and comforting way to get food on the table:  for ...

tomato-braised eggs and creamy baked polenta

September 7, 2016

Earlier this summer, I spent a few glorious hours in Venice at The Tasting Kitchen in what felt like an endless parade of dream brunch fare. Before this I'd never had any kind of chef's menu or omakase-type meal, but a group of us opted for their tasting menu (because that seemed like what you should choose at a restaurant similarly named) and it ...

mentaiko spaghetti

August 17, 2016

In the last week or so, in what seems to be the norm for this time of year, B2 and I have been basking in a much-needed respite from a couple of busy months at work. Mostly this has consisted of me procrastinating all my non-urgent responsibilities by streaming the Olympics for most of the day (while B2, by comparison, texts me at 11am that he has ...
