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 27th. Breakfast Pizza. Wedding Bar-b-que

A day of no cooking but much eating and celebrating.  I did re-heat the two slices of left-over Hudson pizza for a late breakfast with coffee before heading to Maya and Adam's wedding festivities at the Oakland Zoo.
Despite the big sign announcing we were at the Zoo, there were few signs of wild life.  The wedding was on the lawn outside of the Snow Building, which turns out to be a regular venue for such events, with splendid views across the Bay.  After the completely excellent and moving ceremony, there was a grand bar-b-que buffet where I got to feast for the second time in a week (it hadn't been a week since Zeke's Smokehouse) on pulled pork, brisket, collard greens and cole slaw.  And  dancing too!
