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.

June 12. Another bike ride downtown. Hamburgers at home.

Lunch after yoga was a reprise of last night's dinner--potato-spinach patties, sardines, roasted tomatoes and portobello mushrooms.  Excellent fortification for the bike ride downtown  to get properly certified divorce documents for Social Security.   More on that eventually.  While you're waiting here are pictures of the final stages of that busy day.  You can make up a story to go with:












Passed many fine places for a quick snack on the long bus ride home, but passed them all up in favor of the hamburger meat defrosting in the fridge, which quickly converted into four perfect hamburgers for dinner with the remaining potatoes, spinach and portobello mushrooms.
