Dinner time approached. I had no plan in mind. And so, I made dishes on the go, not being fully aware about what I was doing.
I took a peek inside the fridge. There were some leftovers… Chicken meatballs… Grilled chicken breast… Broccoli – we didn’t eat that for a long time (we’re just not big [...]

Just look at that.
Isn’t it gorgeous????
Fresh… Wild… Salmon.
I’m so excited to see fresh, wild salmon, and at reasonable prices, at the grocery stores again.
Just look at that color.
Gorgeous.
So I had to get me some for dinner and I bought one pound (Which is enough for 3-4 servings).
This cut was from a King salmon tail’s end [...]

I’m not quite sure really what it is…
I think it qualifies as porridge but some might say it’s a pudding, or even a crema. Definitions asides, this was one of the few memorable breakfasts of my childhood.
Sweet, thick, milky farina porridge.
I remember loving it, asking for it, sometimes even begging my mother to make it. [...]

Blintzes… I’ve been making them since high school. That’s… never mind how many years ago.
I’ll be 40 in a few months! I hear the preparations for the celebrations are underway. (No pressure, Suburban cowboy.)
Back in high school, I used to make a batch of these crepe-like yummies and take them with me to my room [...]

Bacon.
Mashed potatoes.
Need I say more?
OK.
Bacon!
Mashed potatoes!
Yum.
End of story? Not really.
I took you down memory lane with me a while ago when we discussed Poffertjes. Remember those? (If you have no idea what I’m talking about you must click on Poffertjes and Ebelskivers immediately.)
Back in 1989 I took a trip to Holland with my father. We [...]

“… I did it myyyyyy waaaaay….” (And so did Sid. Proceed with caution.)
Ok, I know what you’re thinking – or do I? – I’m not going to tell you anything you haven’t heard before.
But maybe I will?
It’s pesto. We’ve heard of and seen it a million times before. So what else is new?
Well, Suburban cowboy told [...]

He was wild, he was fresh, he was available, and he was mine.
I held him in my arms.
I was thinking: “Rock Cod, you white fleshy fish, what shall I do about you?”
“The kids won’t eat it”, said Suburban cowboy.
“Maybe in tomato sauce?” I tried.
“No”, he dismissed.
And he was right.
I scratched my head, envisioning sadly my [...]

Why, why, oh why have I waited so long to make this?
Goodness.
First, basically, I gotta tell you, this is so unbelievably easy to make which is just like totally unbelievable. Like. Totally.
Second, I love it! It’s like you basically make a dough, and like, em, smear jam on it, and sprinkle almonds which have totally [...]

I was behind to join Twitter, behind with setting up a “fan” page on Facebook (mostly because I dislike to use the word “fan”, but do go and visit me there for updates, OK?), and then behind with making matzo balls… Technology-wise, I wonder, is it an age “thing” that I’m so behind? But matzo [...]

I have already compared my glamorous suburban life to meatballs before. So what else is left to say?
Do you like chicken?
Do you like meatballs?
Do you like cheese in your chicken meatballs?
Oh, oh, I know, do you like a crusty bottom on your meatballs?
‘Cause these little guys have nice crusty bottoms, and they’re well-tanned ones too!

They get [...]
