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.

July 11th. Left-over pasta. Scrambled eggs with burrata, shallots and tomatos.

Not much pasta left, but heated  once again with chicken broth, more burrata, parsley and a few grates of lemon zest, it was a tasty late lunch.

And then there was dinner--this time the burrata got to be scrambled with eggs and tomatoes sauteed with shallots and garlic.  Quick, delicious, and eaten before I remembered to snap their photos.
