In my mind I'm going: September 2008

http://inmymind-ncfoodie.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

In my mind I'm going. Irregular postings on eating, cooking, and writing in North Carolina. Sunday, September 28, 2008. Remember Me to One Who Lives There. Here, in this fond record, I triangulate food, writing, and remembering. But for most of my life, I’ve been a terrible keeper of memories. I’m the mom who forgets her camera. My photo album is years out of date. I can’t even recall my own office number. (But really, when do I need to call myself? What else were those cave drawings for? And why should ...

In my mind I'm going: A Spoonful of Ginger

http://inmymind-ncfoodie.blogspot.com/2008/12/spoonful-of-ginger.html

In my mind I'm going. Irregular postings on eating, cooking, and writing in North Carolina. Sunday, December 21, 2008. A Spoonful of Ginger. When I was seven, I wrote Disney a letter requesting that they rerelease Mary Poppins. In the days before VCRs, DVDs, downloads, or even HBO (we didn’t own a television at the time), the only way to see a movie was in the theaters. To their credit, Disney wrote me back with a schedule. I only had a few months to wait. Mary Poppins opens the door to strange mysteries...

In my mind I'm going: Deceptively Delicious Debates

http://inmymind-ncfoodie.blogspot.com/2008/11/deceptively-delicious-debates.html

In my mind I'm going. Irregular postings on eating, cooking, and writing in North Carolina. Sunday, November 30, 2008. DD: “Cream cheese frosting? I don’t want it.”. Me: “Oh, did I say cream cheese? I meant delicious creamy caramel frosting”. DD: “Then why did you say ‘cream cheese’? Me: “Mommy misspoke.”. But the primary secret of the meal? 8221; DD happily ate the potato parsnip puree without knowing that her creamy spuds had been adulterated. But unlike the dupes of Seinfeld and Sneaky, DS always knew...

In my mind I'm going: Souped-up Salvation

http://inmymind-ncfoodie.blogspot.com/2008/12/souped-up-salvation.html

In my mind I'm going. Irregular postings on eating, cooking, and writing in North Carolina. Tuesday, December 9, 2008. In the blog world, I prize the well-crafted essay over extemporaneous confession. Not that I prefer all scripted entertainment to “reality”—give me Top Chef. I just don’t equate blogging with journaling. But I’m feeling candid today about my absence. Hysteria hit on Friday night. We’d just put the kids to bed, and I promptly fell apart. I rarely have extreme highs and lows. He’s be...

In my mind I'm going. Irregular postings on eating, cooking, and writing in North Carolina. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. We're traveling in the DC area, so I won't be able to post until the weekend.

We'll be eating Burmese food tonight, and we're planning a tapas feast for New Years Day. Stay tuned . . . Sunday, December 21, 2008. She chides an...

In my mind I'm going: July 2008

In my mind I'm going. Irregular postings on eating, cooking, and writing in North Carolina. Thursday, July 31, 2008. Having just been in Italy, our standards for good pizza are set to eleven. It’s a bit of a challenge to find high quality pizza in the south—the kind made in coal or wood fire ovens, which hit all the notes of a good thin crust, seasoned sauce, nice charring, and well-placed toppings. Ordered the antipasti and calamari as starters and then chose to split the anchovy pizza for our entrée.

In my mind I'm going: March 2009

http://inmymind-ncfoodie.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

In my mind I'm going. Irregular postings on eating, cooking, and writing in North Carolina. Wednesday, March 4, 2009. I apologize for my disappearance. Now for the excuses. First my book took over. I haven't been able to balance the writing of the blog with the writing of my book (and I really need to finish the book). I plan to come back in the summer when life is slower. I'll keep my fingers crossed that my lovely readers will come back then, too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

In my mind I'm going: October 2008

In my mind I'm going. Irregular postings on eating, cooking, and writing in North Carolina. Friday, October 24, 2008. Sprinkle Some Sugar on Me. Bread and Jam for Frances. Was probably my very first encounter with food writing, and it left a deep impression. First, the lunches struck me as tasty. I might have tweaked the menu a little (cold fried chicken, anyone? Provided a similar thrill many years later). While Albert had me at rye bread and salt, it’s the non pareils that won DD’s heart&#4...Here&#821...
