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 8. Fish taco. Ceviche Tostada. La Isla Bonita.

Very little action on the cooking front.  Returning from yoga stopped at La Isla Bonita, the excellent food truck on Rose Avenue for a ceviche tostada.  They were also having a special on fish tacos--how could I resist?  Got one of each which I happily ate, sitting on the sun-baked sidewalk.

For dinner, finished up every left-over.  Artichokes,beets, brussels sprouts and even a bit of hamburger with the remaining mayonnaise, and re-heated the farfalle with the last squares of golden tofu.  The sink was filled with empty tupperware and the refrigerator remarkably empty after a week of many many meals with visitors.
