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 8. Sunday. Antipasto spread at Linda's.

Reprised the burrata and roasted tomatoes for breakfast before bike ride to Armand Hammer with Robin to see the chock full and often exciting Made in LA show.

Artichokes, aioli, snack for a late lunch.  Early dinner at Linda's--a splendid antipasto spread, prosciutto, many cheeses, peppers, and salads.

I'd brought my caramel nut sauce and strawberries which we ate with vanilla Ben and Jerry's supplied by Linda, before heading to Culver City to see Mike's band--the Standards play an excellent set at the Cinema Bar on Sepulveda--time-warped and completely enjoyable--setting, music, company and all.
