Naomi: Cooking for one and for friends



For years now, even before I wrote the recipes in what I think of as my "static blog," Fiftytworecipesfrommymother, at the request of my children, Sarah and Sam, Sarah had been urging me to keep a daily (more or less) record of my cookings--the meals I make for myself in my (surprisingly) solitary life as well as those I make for friends. For whatever reasons, I've never done it.


But, after months of wandering, I've finally begun. As I haven't quite mastered the art of cooking for one, and love throwing together grand meals at the last minute, I have been encouraging friends to call to check on what I might have on hand any evening for a quick meal. Instructions can be found in my entry for March 20th--What's in Naomi's Refrigerator.

This is primarily a record of the meals I prepare for myself and others, accompanied by "mug shots" of the food (when I remember to photograph before eating). Shot by my phone, with no styling, they may not capture their subjects at their best, but so be it.

March 16th. Mid-mornng snack. Quesadilla.

Still marveling about last night's meal.  Amanda and her daughter-in-law Denora came to clean today. Amanda said she wasn't feeling that well--I think that's why Denora came.   Very happy to have a house full of cleaners and left-overs--both to offer them all sorts of delicious treats--and also because I won't have to re-mess everything cooking for Lisa and Gar tonight.
Decided to go to noon yoga.  As happy as I am to have two cleaners, it means there really isn't much room for me.
I did have to eata  few hours before yoga, so made us all a mid-morning snack of  quesadillas with cheese and the roasted peppers.  Served with a bit of salsa and sour cream, it seemed to satisfy the Salvadoreans and I pleased I could do a little cross-cultural cooking.
That snack lasted me until dinner.
