Status report: 3 weeks of Family Dinner

Kate — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 18:59:22 +0000

So here we are, a few weeks in to our new system. Overall, I’d say I’m about 1000% less stressed by feeding Tuck than I was before. I’m much less concerned about buying special foods or worrying what he’ll eat if we go out, and I’ve enjoyed the new rhythm of our evenings, with Tuck’s … Continue reading Status report: 3 weeks of Family Dinner →

Aarti’s Kheema

Kate — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 23:31:57 +0000

Among my guilty pleasures is “The Next Food Network Star,” which I have found to be a fairly interesting look at what makes someone a good TV host (not simply a good cook, like on Top Chef). I like the judges and find their discussions of the business of TV fascinating. And last season I … Continue reading Aarti’s Kheema →

Summer food: Variations on a theme

Kate — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:30:15 +0000

(No CSA this week; we were out of town and a neighbor picked up my share.) As if pregnancy hadn’t already made me an incredibly lazy cook, summer really lowers my level of ambition in the kitchen. As I flipped through photos from the last couple months there were two things I kept falling back … Continue reading Summer food: Variations on a theme →

CSA Weeks 1 & 2: Back to the greens

Kate — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 20:50:25 +0000

Summer! Forget Memorial Day. Despite the calendar and no matter how freakishly cold or hot it is, the first CSA pick-up of the season marks the beginning of summer for me. Last week in the first installment, I brought home a light and chlorophyll-packed bag of greens: -Kale (I scored an extra from the new … Continue reading CSA Weeks 1 & 2: Back to the greens →

Travel inspiration: Pea salads for spring

Kate — Tue, 25 May 2010 16:28:07 +0000

Hi! We’re back. We got back a week ago, but you know how that always goes. If you want to take a look at where we were and what we were doing, from my perspective (which means with very few pictures of me!), check out this Flickr set. One lucky thing about this pregnancy is … Continue reading Travel inspiration: Pea salads for spring →

Easy peanut noodles for lazy people

Kate — Thu, 13 May 2010 19:00:19 +0000

Noodle Quest got under my skin, and one night after deciding to try Smitten Kitchen’s adapted-from-GOOP ginger dressing, I thought I’d whip up some cold peanut noodles to round out the meal. My mom used to make something similar, and I’d eat as many as I could out of the bowl before getting my hand … Continue reading Easy peanut noodles for lazy people →

Rooftop grilling and Spontaneous Sabayon

Kate — Thu, 06 May 2010 18:01:48 +0000

Our friends Megan and Dave live in an unbelievable (if slightly crumbling) townhouse, and a couple Saturdays ago they suggested bagging on restaurant plans in favor of an impromptu dinner party to take advantage of a nice night on the deck. A mere hour or two later, we showed up to find that they’d prepared … Continue reading Rooftop grilling and Spontaneous Sabayon →

Noodle Quest 2010: Entry 1

Kate — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:23:49 +0000

I am so obsessed with noodles, you guys. I always have been; my known weak spots are generally fried dough (donuts, elephant ears, churros, etc.), assorted other fried foods (clam strips, sausage-stuffed olives, duck fat fries, etc.), flat breads, and noodles. Mmmm, carbs and fat. Also garlicky kale, thank god. A couple weeks ago I … Continue reading Noodle Quest 2010: Entry 1 →

Aunt Kay’s Sugar and Spice cookies

Kate — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 23:36:50 +0000

This is a special one, guys. Two years ago Ben and I went to visit my wonderful great-aunt Kay, my maternal grandmother’s sister. She was 91 or so, and I was there to talk genealogy and take on the role of family historian. We spent a few hours going through photos and family trees, and … Continue reading Aunt Kay’s Sugar and Spice cookies →

Pasta, fully loaded

Kate — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:53:18 +0000

Last month, while on our annual visit to dear friends down in Sarasota, we enjoyed a massive and fabulous meal at a Tapas restaurant in town. (I also got to be the designated driver for the first time, thanks to the restaurant’s slight delay in seating us and the decision of the non-pregnant members of … Continue reading Pasta, fully loaded →
