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 4. Leftovers.

Yoga and library.  Quiet day with left-overs.

There was a bit of last  night's chicken, leeks and rice for lunch.

For dinner?  Pretty minimal.  Many left-over vegetables -- the potatoes, sweet as well as white,  carrots and onions that I'd roasted with the lemon chicken on Friday night.  I sauteed some of them (there were plenty) along with left-over green beans and portobello mushrooms, only adding a some salt and smoked paprika.  It was surprisingly good, if not terribly photogenic.

    After meeting you on Rose Avenue on Friday evening, you inspired me to take a photo of my post-ride breakfast yesterday.
