Bookseller, baker, ricotta-cheese maker. I'm a reader, a wannabe writer, have a mothballed J.D., and am little bit crazy. These are the days of my lives.

Okay– I admit that my fridge and pantry contain ingredients that are not “average.” But I still have to clean the sucker out and use food up before it goes bad. Times are tough, starving children in Africa, it’s a sin to waste food, or you’re just a cheap Yankee like me– any way you […]

OMFG. So good. I would have taken a picture of the actual brownie, but I was too busy eating it.
I now return you to your regular programming.

Summery poached halibut, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
Yes, I actually cooked dinner for the first time in ages. Nothing like being bipolar to screw up the cook part of the identity.
Halibut steak poached in olive oil, white wine, and three ears of corn (cut from the cob), two chopped beefsteak tomatoes, and two dozen chopped […]

When I was a kid, we used to go to my grandparents’ in the summer. Farm stock, they had corn, tomatoes, raspberries, peaches, and so on. My grandmother, who received her degree in Home Economics, was big on every lunch and dinner having a “salad” course– some cold fruit or vegetable, frequently canned […]

I’m too tired tonight to cook real food, and I wanted something chewy, so dinner tonight was 1/2 a package of soba noodles, cooked 7 mins., with topped & tailed & halved green beans thrown in to blanch the last 3 minutes. Slopped into a bowl and topped with soy sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, […]

I intentionally put off doing a real grocery trip this weekend, choosing instead to dredge the pantry until today, when our Boston Organics box gets delivered. Here’s last night’s comfort meal– japanese sticky rice with charred sweet onion slices, Soy Boy tofu lin teriyaki-flavored baked tofu, soy sauce, lime juice, rice wine vinegar, and […]

Three slices of manchego cheese, some oil-cured black olives, and my new favorite condiment/pickle, peppadew peppers, with a glass of red wine. Finished off with a small wedge of Penuche from The Fudge Bar. I love leaving the office early on a Friday.

Since I have nothing else to write, I thought I would note that I was able to keep Thich Naht Hanh’s words in mind tonight as I ate my late (10:30 pm) supper– I just ate my few slices of cheddar, my one perfect Boston Organics nectarine, and drank my one glass of malbec. […]
