my edible ode to marination mobile

corn tortilla, with korean red pepper paste mayo and sesame-rice vinegar slaw.

it's probably news to no one, but they now park two blocks down from my work every tuesday. this serendipitous and bright piece of news after I emailed my boss a week prior to ask if we could host them in our own parking lot. at least nine people from work went down there. I had one of their tofu tacos again after making this, and now have to figure out how to replicate their sweet caramelized onions, scallions and the most tender tofu i've ever bitten. for my own records, it was heavy on the lime and ginger, i think.

CSA, Garden menu

Breakfast: Miso soup with CSA bok choy

Breakfast snack: raspberry smoothie with berries from grandpa bob

the rest of the day: lentil dip with CSA collards, salad with CSA lettuce and peas from bob's pea closet, and spanikopita with garden kale et al.


uninspired post, for posterity.
festive and friend-tested ideas for greens-intensive dishes are sought.


addendum, to get the ball rolling. other ventures have included:

• lettuce quiche
• beets and beet green salad. capers, feta, candied walnuts.
• kale spread (like pesto, blanched and blended with pine nuts)
• pasta with broccoli raab
• eggs florentine, subbing raab for spinach

to make my first baguettes, I followed the world's most American in Paris recipe ever, with limited success.

normal cream makes ignorance bliss, best night ever

homemade oreos and 40% milkfat ice cream

chocolate caramel truffles with australian pink salt

one jar down

lemon tart, but using some preserved lemons. very salty.
as bad as it looked, the crust was good - where it burned it also caramelized the sugar in the edge of the tart.

monkey see, monkey doo

pride is a sin

let me be forgiven.
