food in life: December 2010
http://foodinlife.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
I live to eat and love to cook. Welcome to my life! December 23, 2010. Sometimes it is rough writing this blog.not so much for the lack of recipes or lack of cooking that I do, but more for the inspiration and funny or interesting stories that I use to deliver the recipes. Sometimes it takes me a few days to come up with something and other nights I am hit with my creative muse right in the middle of cooking and am able to write and cook simultaneously. Also included were the very well received Almond Fl...

food in life: April 2011
http://foodinlife.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
I live to eat and love to cook. Welcome to my life! April 6, 2011. Forty years later they have one (fabulous) kid, awesome friends and family and an amazing life together. Not bad for a couple who met on a blind date in the 70's. I only went overboard a little bit. Like the custom printed menus that I thought of today. Or the toast in the glass their best friends gave them as a wedding gift. Oysters on the Halfshell. Tomato, Meyer Lemon, Horseradish Sorbet. Nicholas Feuillate Brut Champagne. Food and tra...

food in life: June 2011
http://foodinlife.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
I live to eat and love to cook. Welcome to my life! June 30, 2011. From my lovely bestie Clover came about 10# of uber ripe apricots which I decided to make into jam (duh). As usual I get these brainstorms late at night and end up finishing my project after 11:00 at which point I am bleary eyed with sleep and wine. Fortunately for me the cooking goddess likes me and generally blesses my forays in to territory unknown. 5# Ripe Apricots, seeded and chopped. 4 T Lemon Juice. 1 Package (49g) Pectin. It's bee...

food in life: A much needed time out!
http://foodinlife.blogspot.com/2011/12/much-needed-time-out.html
I live to eat and love to cook. Welcome to my life! December 18, 2011. A much needed time out! Oh hey.I actually cooked! Now the question comes up.what do we make, right? WellSince the middle of November when I heard that Ventura was getting a new meat market specializing in local, humanely raised and butchered meats as well as some exotic and interesting meats I've been wanting to get over there and check it out. Freaking perfect. Thank you Ventura Meat Company, I'll be back! 1 cup chicken broth. 1 teas...

food in life: January 2011

I live to eat and love to cook. Welcome to my life! January 25, 2011. At least my friends liked it. Unbeknown to me, there are more than one species of pine nut.who knew? From continent to continent they vary slightly in taste, texture and chemical makeup. And only very recently (since about 2001) has a syndrome known as "pine mouth" come to light. I personally think it should be called "crap mouth" as damn near everything you eat tastes like crap. But that's just me. Which for me, sucks. So I am thinkin...

I live to eat and love to cook. Welcome to my life! December 26, 2011. Boxing Day at the Beach. What is Boxing Day? It's not traditionally celebrated in the US except to call it "the day after Christmas" where you give people who deliver boxes a fifth of Scotch. I'm sure there are many other definitions and traditions that go along with this multi national holiday but I think I just found my favorite one today in my dear old hometown of Ventura. It was a great turnout with families and groups of friends ...

food in life: Damn I'm good.
http://foodinlife.blogspot.com/2011/09/sometimes-i-come-along-recipe-or.html
I live to eat and love to cook. Welcome to my life! September 26, 2011. Sometimes I come along a recipe or an article on food and read it and think. To myself."That is bloody brilliant! Why didn't I think of that? Then I take the recipe, most often tweak it to my liking and write about it here. Which is why I write a food blog and not for Bon Appetit. But when I do nail it, I nail it. And making up a recipe is so much sweeter when the result is better than you even expected. Number Three: Even though we ...

food in life: It's better when you know where it came from!
http://foodinlife.blogspot.com/2011/09/its-better-when-you-know-where-it-came.html
I live to eat and love to cook. Welcome to my life! September 24, 2011. It's better when you know where it came from! I swear food really does taste better when you know where it came from, how long it's been off the vine or out of the water. A few nights ago I finally had enough time off to get my ass back in the kitchen and cook something other than quickie meals, pre-packaged easy meals or heat up leftovers. 1 Large Zucchini, shredded. 1/2 of a Medium White Onion, shredded. 2/3 cups Panko Bread Crumbs.

food in life: October 2011
http://foodinlife.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
I live to eat and love to cook. Welcome to my life! October 26, 2011. Addictive, but in a good way. You know it's good when no less than a half dozen people tell you it's like crack. Dad showed up this morning for our daily walk telling me I should never make them again because they are addictive. Emily had 7 before dinner was even served. And Patty was up until 4:00am because of the sugar rush. Yet every last one of them took a plate home with leftovers and everyone wanted the recipe. Which is a very fu...
