Bittersweet Feast: An ideal Saturday

http://bittersweetfeast.blogspot.com/2014/03/an-ideal-saturday.html

Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Easier path across the highway. The man with the dogs described it as a Disney land hike, which sounded just right by me. We found it, took it and came out beside the beach, where we were greeted by a very wet dog named Duke and two little girls crawling about in the sand, one very talkative and the other quite shy. I had a rather aggressive list planned: sour orange marmalade. Smothered cabbage and rice soup. Was my evening a great culinary success? View my complete profile.

Bittersweet Feast: October 2009

http://bittersweetfeast.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 30, 2009. I could start off by telling you about the molasses cookies.or wait, maybe it's time for my dad's favorite scones on the planet.but no. It's that time of year again, and there's only one recipe that fits the bill. Oh, fall, how I have missed you. Fall means school supplies and football games, tailgating and dark beer, sweaters and apples. But most of all, fall means pumpkins. 3 1/3 cups flour. 2 tsp baking soda. 1 1/2 tsp salt. 3 tsp nutmeg (freshly grated, preferably). Bake for...

Bittersweet Feast: April 2010

http://bittersweetfeast.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 6, 2010. A wee bit more time. After a year of plotting and planning, I now hold a polaroid camera in my hands. And you know what? It really is as much fun as I thought it would be. As soon as I get a wee photo scanner, I can show off my new toy. Until then, you'll have to satisfy yourself with a poladroid. Version of a digital photo from Chicago, circa 2009. Also, I promise to update more this summer. Let's just say that everything they. Say about law school- totally true. A CUP OF JO.

Bittersweet Feast: August 2009

http://bittersweetfeast.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 13, 2009. Where does time go these days? I have to let you know that I am STILL in limbo, but will finally be finishing up the moving process to Ann Arbor late this week. It's hard to believe, but the chips are finally falling into place and I will be starting school in the all too near future. This stuff tastes so good without anything being done to it! A friend came to visit a few weekends ago and we had a fabulous time sailing, capsizing and spending the rest of the day cooking in the...

Bittersweet Feast: June 2010

http://bittersweetfeast.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 21, 2010. You will not believe what I found at the farmer's market this past Saturday. Who knew that we grew fraises des bois in the States? I'm sure the fact that the head farmer is French didn't hurt things. Fraises des bois mush is better than none at all. I foresee quite a bit of sushi, mochi, honeydew melon popsiscles, onigiri and royal milk tea in my future. I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have for places to eat, things to see, etc. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1/4 cup orange juice.

Bittersweet Feast: July 2009

http://bittersweetfeast.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 23, 2009. At the tail end. After a lovely meal, where she gently corrected my table setting technique and encouraged me to have seconds and thirds, we all sat around outside chatting, while the boys (3 of them) slowly disappeared one by one- there were girls waiting for them somewhere outside the dark green front gate. Susan Herrmann Loomis. I know, I know, I am SO predictable. Adapted from Farmhouse Cookbook by Susan Herrmann Loomis. 2 cups diced fresh rhubarb. 1 1/2 cups sugar. Mix the b...

Bittersweet Feast: There, we feasted

http://bittersweetfeast.blogspot.com/2010/08/there-we-feasted.html

Tuesday, August 10, 2010. There, we feasted. We came, we saw, we were conquered- by Tokyo. There was the gorgeous bento box I picked up for lunch in the bottom of a department store one day, full of flavor and texture. There was the traditional Japanese breakfast served at the last ryokan (Japanese style hotel) we stayed at, brought in on a tray by an adorable woman who hummed under her breath while setting things up just so, oblivious to Jimmy still sleeping on his tatami mat in the corner.

Bittersweet Feast: January 2010

http://bittersweetfeast.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 12, 2010. A better handle on things. There are snowflakes swirling outside, highlighted by the multi-colored bulbs from a string of Christmas lights. Idyllic, except that I'm in a Starbucks and those chairs get really. Uncomfortable after an hour or so. You see pictured) came out of the woodwork, and we had our traditional holiday meals (roasted lamb, prime rib, fondue). What I'd like to tell you about today, however, is the meal I made when I arrived tonight, the ultimate standby dinner...
