Charmed Life
So it’s Artscape weekend which naturally means it’s going to be hot as Hades. Here’s two recipes from this week’s NYT: one good for folks with A/C (it involves the oven) and one for folks without (it involves the blender). I mean to try both very soon.
Savory Bread and a super-easy looking (and creamy) Gazpacho.
One other great article in the Times this week about a woman who has kept a list of what she’s cooked for dinner since 1998. It’s an interesting lens through which to view your life. I’m sure the meals she cooked reveal who she was at the time and what her life was like—single, newly married, newly a Mom, and so on. It would also be a record of food trends, too, no? (For ex., sliders are soooo 2009.)
I’m sitting here trying to remember what my family has eaten for dinner the past few days, and what it says about our lives.
Monday: I went out with a friend for sushi; my husband went to Sweet Sin Bakery and Cafe for some of their delectable food; and our daughter ate leftovers.
Tuesday: We got carryout Indian from Tamber’s Nifty Fifties Diner.
Wednesday: We grilled rosemary chicken thighs and zucchini and ate them with teeny potatoes coated in fresh dill and a touch of Dijon mustard and greens sauteed with raisins and cashews.
Hmmm. I think this shows that I’m someone who has good intentions as a cook but also has 2 small children and a lazy streak!
