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.

April 27th. Chicken leftovers: Sandwich and Soup

sCoffee at dawn with Ann. In town for a 70th birthday outing with her mother (she has a brother in Pasadena), she had dinner with Lena, Julian and Phoebe.  I'd left a key with Lena, so Ann let herself in while I was at the concert.   She was asleep when I got home and scheduled to pick up her mother at LAX at 8AM, so we had a quick catch-up over early coffee and off she went.
I can go a few hours Minimal sleep is not Can't say I do very well on minimal sleep--but biked to yoga, came home, made myself a chicken sandwich, biked to the library, planning to carry on, but ended up taking a nap, waking up in time for a bowl of chicken soup, and then biked to the last oncert of the season (only one I was in town for)at First Lutheran--Brass Quintet from the LA Phil.  --two nights of excellent music in a row!
