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 5th. Leftovers. Fresh fruit.

Lunch--left-over corn salad.  caramelized tofu with roasted cauliflower and brussels sprouts.

Big shop at Ralph's and Trader Joe's--for still to be imagined meals.  Ralph's had organic strawberries and raspberries of $1.99 each.  How the world of produce has changed!  Should we be wary consumers?  I'm afraid I can't muster up the necessary vigilance so  but for the moment, I'm happy to trust in Ralph and his organic farming buddies.

Minimal dinner of nectarines and strawberries with cottage cheese and yogurt.  Avocado salad.
