The Sated Palate: we’ve never had paris
http://www.thesatedpalate.com/2012/02/weve-never-had-paris.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. We’ve never had paris. Look closely: these fancy desserts are perched on beribboned swings. Valentine’s day in Paris is a seriously romantic notion. With its lovey-dovey reputation, one might even proselytize that every day is V-day in the city of love. One might also be on vacation without children; or perhaps proposing with a ring in a champagne flute, atop the Eiffel Tower. Tea for two (stylish tea salon in a hotel on rue du cherche midi).

Monday, January 23, 2012. Paris is full of surprises, some more charming than others. These idiosyncrasies are elusive and come to light over time. When at first something seems out of the ordinary we think, ‘how odd’. With the second occurrence, we marvel at the coincidence. By the third time, it’s ‘Aha…’ And that’s what I call the slow reveal. So this is Paris. Eggs are not refrigerated in the grocery store. Weird but true. Coffee is downright disgusting with very few exceptions. The after school ...

Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Wheeeeeee, it’s vacation! Annabelle’s school has a whopping two weeks’ vacation (les vacances) nearly every six weeks. That’s a lot of vacation. Granted, French school is more challenging with longer hours and just two months off for summer holiday. Still, two weeks of interrupted schedule is a hefty imposition. . French bistro: check. french scarf: check. french blazer: check. french lady: nope. Talking is a brilliant foil. I have since come to a place of ambivalence. ...

Sunday, November 21, 2010. One warm evening in late September, rather than jog my neighborhood loop, I opted to run downtown for a change of scenery. Once in the city, I passed Seattle Art Museum and made my way down the Harbor Steps headed for the nearby waterfront. Halfway down, I skidded to a halt in front of an unfamiliar rustic slate sign with a chalk drawing of a portly pig and two words: Lecosho. Created a sophisticated new counterpart to showcase his empire of meaty goodness? On the big night,...

Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Somewhere beyond the sea. A few years later, I landed upon a recipe for fish in parchment or ‘poisson en papillotte’ as the French call it. It was one of those recipes that almost wasn’t, it was so easy. Though any fish would do, I opted for halibut and knew at once I had rediscovered an old friend. . 8216;poisson en papillotte’. 8216;fish in parchment’. 3 cups short grain brown rice. 2 – 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter. 1 – 1/2 teaspoons salt. 1 lemon, cut in 4 wedges .

Wednesday, October 20, 2010. October gave a party;. The leaves by hundreds came -. The chestnuts, oaks, and maples,. And leaves of every name. The sunshine spread a carpet,. And everything was grand,. Miss weather led the dancing,. Professor wind the band. One fine fall day, we hopped in the family station wagon and headed 90 minutes east of Seattle, to sleepy Roslyn, WA, where friends transformed their sprawling backyard into a Rockwell-esque autumn wonderland. Is my personal take on the perennial favor...

The Sated Palate: my new favorite
http://www.thesatedpalate.com/2012/03/my-new-favorite.html
Friday, March 2, 2012. I am head over heels in love with what might just be the sweetest little lunch spot in Paris: Mamie Gateaux. For weeks, we hurried past on our way to ballet and each time I made a mental note to come back when they were open. Finally, I decided to make it a mother-daughter date and take Annabelle during her one of her absurdly long lunch breaks. We typically walk home for lunch or eat ham and butter baguettes, so this was a real treat. My adorable lunch companion. It is seriousl...

Sunday, February 20, 2011. The ones i almost didn’t make. Unusually good, these ones. try them. you’ll like them. Needless to say, I feel the need to step up to the plate when said chef friend dines at. When I heard homemade Indian, these little gems immediately came to mind. The wild card was the use of an Indian spice blend, Garam masala. Yields 36 bite-sized cookies. 3/4 cup whole almonds (substitute unsweetened coconut, if desired). 2 large egg whites. 1 teaspoon Garam masala. In a medium stainles...
