new directions in dinner.
Friends, a momentous thing happened recently: I came out to my partner. As a food blogger, to be clear. I’ve been out as a queer since forever. That was easy! But this made me feel silly (don’t ask me why), … Continue reading
fresh apricots are not like dried apricots: we invented dessert.
We received fresh apricots in our CSA box this week. I took a bite of one, and suddenly thought – I don’t think I’ve ever had a fresh apricot before. I’ve had dried apricots about a thousand times, and there … Continue reading

chicken with apples and onions!
Reposting an oldie-but-goodie with the minor edits that reflect how I make it now. This is good stick-to-your-ribs cold weather food, and despite the trickster behavior of last week’s warmth, we still have some cold weather hanging around. Make this … Continue reading
