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.

September 17. Left-overs and Happy Hour Hamburger

Rosh Hashonah left-over lunch--Challah (i.e. brioche) with honey and apples.  The last bit of frittata, Sliced tomatoes from the Levine's garden.

After a four pm yoga class, met Linda for Happy Hour burger at M Street Kitchen  on her corner.  We had the burgers and a crispy spicy tuna roll.  The happy hour beer for the day was IPA (is this a type?  a brand?).  Although I am the cheapest drunk in the world I can usually manage a couple of beers--but I became instantly tipsy.  Our young waitress assured me this was not so strange as the alcohol content of my beer was extraordinarily high.  Nonetheless I was able to bike home successfully, all lights wildly flashing.
