Good food, no pictures, no plan. Cook this Now group. Not Quite Alton Brown. Lentil and Split Pea Soup. Monday, November 22, 2010. Instead of buying frozen fish fillets, which I usually do because I'm a squeamish frightened fish buyer, I bought whole fish at the market, which the friendly guys cleaned and gutted for me. I also had them cut the heads and tails. They gave me the look, "OK, weird foreign lady." But I hate having my food look at me. So sue me. Mustard-Crusted Bass with Tomato Sauce. Which, a...

Good food, no pictures, no plan. Cook this Now group. Not Quite Alton Brown. Thursday, January 14, 2010. So here I am in France for half a year with my own kitchen and lots of yummy ingredients. I hope to make the most of it, and so far I have been cooking up a storm with fairly limited equipment and counter space. I just found out this morning, though, that this situation is going to change: we're moving to a nicer place with a HUGE, extremely well-equipped kitchen! Warm Mediterranean Couscous Salad.

Good food, no pictures, no plan. Cook this Now group. Not Quite Alton Brown. Cucumber Salad with Almonds and Shiso. Corn Salad with Avocados and Lime. Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Cucumber Salad with Almonds and Shiso. Around Paris, Claire and I stayed home and ate frittata (to use up leftovers) and cucumber salad. Now that's sheer cussedness (with some laziness thrown in for good measure.). And the final salad? Labels: cook this now. Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Corn Salad with Avocados and Lime. But that was t...

Good food, no pictures, no plan. Cook this Now group. Not Quite Alton Brown. Nutty Macaroni and Blue Cheese. Saturday, January 15, 2011. This recipe is adapted from a Kosher Hanukkah doughnut recipe from the December 2002 Bon Appétit. I only made half this recipe, and it was plenty for the four of us. 2-1/2 c. (7.5 oz.) flour (part whole-wheat is OK if you want to delude yourself). 5 T (2.2 oz.) sugar. 2 envelopes rapid-rise yeast. Grated zest of one lemon. 3/4 c (6 oz.) milk. 1-1/2 t. vanilla. Last week...

Good food, no pictures, no plan. Cook this Now group. Not Quite Alton Brown. Fresh Peach Buttermilk Ice Cream. Shrimp Scampi with (no) Pernod. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Agreed, it doesn't look like much, but it tastes really good. The chili I used was not very spicy, so we used a bit of siricha to spice it up. Otherwise, the flavors are balanced and clean, so that even though this is a hot meal, it's nice for summer. A great meal to come home to. Labels: cook this now. Thursday, August 23, 2012. Fortun...

Friday, September 17, 2010. Linguine with Triple-Pepper Sauce. Sometimes you have little time and less money, so a simple, meatless pasta dish is in order.
