quarantine vegetarian lasagne
So I ordered a bunch of groceries in bulk from Cheetah, a wholesale shop for restaurants that recently opened their virtual doors to ordinary citizens. I like using half and half to make the occasional hot chocolate or decaffeinated chai. … Continue reading

making dinner (and lunch) from leftovers, part the first: a tuna salad that beckons
My son doesn’t care for artichokes. I love them. They’re in season now, and I had one in the fridge, so I decided today is the day I’m going to eat that artichoke. I trimmed it, gave it a lemon … Continue reading

What am I, chopped liver?
I love chopped liver. It may not be pâté, or even pâté de campagne, but it’s still delicious when done right. The trick is to cook the livers just so, such that they’re still a bit juicy, and chop them … Continue reading
