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.

May 25. Chicken, potato and roast vegetable hash. kale with bacon and fried egg.

A little shopping and a mani-pedi after yoga, delayed lunch (can it still be called lunch?). Excelling in left-over removal, I sauteed an onion with  the remaining chicken and roast vegetables for an excellent hash.

Several hours later, going for the gold medal in left-over work, I sauteed the un-cooked kale from the farmer's market with half a tomato (it didn't make it into the BLT).   After clearing a spot in the middle, I added a pat of butter and fired up an egg.  Another fine late evening meal.
