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 24th. BLT. Wedding Party for Dov and Jess

Yoga workshop at noon--sparkling California day.  Made a mid-day BLT with the bacon and tomatoes from Lisa and Gar.


Biked in party finery to the Rose for Dov and Jess's wedding party.  A grand Venice event merging the Rudnick/Lithgow and Koslow/Rogers families.   Grand meal,  many generations dancing together.  Biked home with succulent wedding favor in basket and lights flashing in the dark, quiet, post-drum circle  Venice night.
