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.

August 13. Monday. Hamburger. Meeting about boutique hotel on Abbott Kinney.

Lunch--cooked up the three remaining hamburgers.  Two for future meals, but happily ate one on wheat toast with lettuce, tomato and Russian dressing.  Lots of iced coffee with coffee ice cream left me feeling a bit too stuffed.

Instead of dinner went to a community about very early plans for a new hotel designed (or yet to be designed) by David Hertz, Venice resident known for green, sustainable, etc.  Everyone cranky because despite professed love for community, world, etc., the developers want a variance to build four stories (one story above Venice Specific Plan).

No issues were resolved at meeting, but I did take care of dinner needs by snacking on cheese, fruit, veggies with dip and mystery meat--turkey? ham?--who can tell what those pale tasteless circles are?
