i'll cook if you clean up: Paris - Les Fables de la Fontaine
http://illcookifyoucleanup.blogspot.com/2011/01/paris-les-fables-de-la-fontaine.html
Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Paris - Les Fables de la Fontaine. While researching Parisian restaurants, I decided we needed to go to a seafood place one night. And if you're researching where to have a great seafood meal in Paris it's impossible to not come across Les Fables de la Fontaine. I found a great review from lebestofparis.com. And these two sentences sold me on making a reservation here:. I started off with croustillants with langoustine, basil, and citrus emulsion. It's not an inexpensive plac...

i'll cook if you clean up: Paris - Le Relais de L'Entrecôte
http://illcookifyoucleanup.blogspot.com/2011/01/paris-le-relais-de-lentrecote.html
Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Paris - Le Relais de L'Entrecôte. Is the steak frites place. That's all they serve, so that's what you're going to eat. With a few other things, of course. So there's no menu. The waitress just asks how you want your meat cooked. And I'm pretty sure the whole table has to agree on one amount of doneness. She then writes it down on the edge of the paper tablecloth. They start you off with a a salad of greens, walnuts, and a very mustardy vinaigrette. Le Relais de l'Entrecôte.

i'll cook if you clean up: May 2011
http://illcookifyoucleanup.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Salt and Vinegar Potatoes and Green Beans. I can take exactly no credit for this recipe or idea. How I never thought of it myself.I don't know, because I love salt and vinegar chips. This one comes from Sweet Amandine. 2 pounds of baby red potatoes. 1½ pounds of green beans. 2-3 Tbsps. olive oil. 5 Tbsps. red wine vinegar. A copious amount of coarsely ground sea salt. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Dump the oiled potatoes onto a baking sheet and arrange them cut side up. I ...

i'll cook if you clean up: Paris - Fish La Boissonnerie
http://illcookifyoucleanup.blogspot.com/2011/01/paris-fish-la-boissonnerie.html
Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Paris - Fish La Boissonnerie. Fish La Boissonnerie was one of the little restaurants we came across in our neighborhood (6th arrondissement) and decided to try it out for dinner on our second night there. Although, I guess it was already on our radar because it's owned by the same people as the wine store right outside our front door (La Dernière Goutte). It's a very low-key, friendly neighborhood spot with great, simple food. Foie gras and some kind of meat gelatin (? In a cit...

i'll cook if you clean up: January 2011
http://illcookifyoucleanup.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. Paris - Odds and Ends. Yes, the last post was my final post about Paris restaurants. But there were so many other snacks and tastes throughout the week I just can't leave out. My first meal of the week included a butter and sugar crepe. I could eat one of these every day and never tire of them. There are many Paul bakeries around Paris, and there was one right around the corner from us. It was a daily - and sometimes twice a day - stop for us. My favorite - stinky cheese. And th...

i'll cook if you clean up: December 2010
http://illcookifyoucleanup.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 30, 2010. 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. 1 cup sugar (recipe calls for granulated, but I used what I believe was non-granulated cane sugar and it was fine). 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1 egg, lightly beaten. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 cup confectioner's sugar. 1 large egg white. Mix the sugar and egg white; divide among small bowls and tint each a different color. Spread onto cooled cookies. Wednesday, December 29, 2010. Yes, I'm still alive...

http://illcookifyoucleanup.blogspot.com/2011/02/chard-and-white-bean-stew.html
Tuesday, February 8, 2011. Chard and White Bean Stew. 2 feet of snow on the ground and nearly subzero temperatures definitely call for a hearty stew. The high for tomorrow is forecast to be 8 degrees. 8! With a poached egg on top. Sold! 1 pound Swiss chard (can also swap kale, spinach or another green), ribs and stems removed and cleaned. 3 tablespoons olive oil. 1 cup chopped carrots. 1 cup chopped celery. 1 cup chopped shallots, about 4 medium. 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped. 1 cup dry white wine.

Katinko: October 2009
http://kjkatinko.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. Can I just take this time to send some love and affection to my favorite blogs? What I love most about the internet (among other things, of course) is that by the end of your time "surfing the net" you have most likely ended up at a totally different place than you started. I can hop over to High Heeled Foot in the Door. And be introduced to Three Men and a Lady. At High Heeled Foot in the Door, I also learned about Midwest Modern. From what I have read, she has been quite the s...
