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.

April 17th. Scrambled eggs and Home Fries. Observation Wheel

Another round of scrambled eggs and home fries for Maxine and Leigh, who were planning to spend the afternoon at the beach in Malibu before driving north.  No breakfast for me as I was having lunch with Perry.

We met at Primitivo's--which was closed, so went instead to Joe's which was, as it almost always is, incredibly delicious.

In lieu of dinner, I attended a snack-laden ridiculously long Venice Town Council Meeting, to raise my citizen's voice in opposition to a huge Ferris wheel at Windward Circle.  Oy.
