Unbeknownst to Pramas, I was plotting his birthday party for a couple of months before it happened. It all started with me beguiling him into agreeing to put our Belize money into a patio. I wasted no time in getting that started because my secret plan was to have it done in time for a [...]

I’ve been getting back in the swing of cooking around here again but not back in the swing of blogging about it. During my recent silent period I did a bunch of work in the back yard of the house, including finally putting in those raised beds that I’ve been talking about installing in the [...] Dinner 2/9/09 Originally uploaded by Nikchick. I haven’t gotten around to doing any posting of new recipes yet, but I’ve tried quite a few new dishes already in 2009. Tonight’s dinner was roasted vegetable couscous (photo here) and which you can find online at MyRecipes.com here. I followed up with some tea-poached pears in [...] Because of all the things that were going on in my personal life last year I didn’t ever really get a chance to keep up my recipe pages as I would have liked. I did do some cooking and I posted a few of the more successful recipes I tried as individual blog posts but [...] Things around here have been a bit chaotic of late and I’ve been doing far less cooking than I intended when spring started.

Luckily for us Kate is getting to that age when [...] Doctors appointment at the crack of dawn tomorrow but today was all about the fennel broth. Met with the nutritionist today. It’s energizing to be told I’m doing the right things. She seems to find me amusing, she laughs a lot. “Oh Nicole!” she gasps, and writes things down. She asks about my recent cooking [...] Coming clean about my vast collection of too neglected cookbooks, I have to admit that poor Mark Bittman has been among the most neglected. For years I’ve had his cookbooks on my shelf. How to Cook Everything, The Minimalist Cooks Dinner, The Minimalist Cooks at Home. I received How to Cook Everything Vegetarian off my [...] This one is a real winner! I’m ashamed of myself that I’ve never done more than look through some of the pretty photographs in this book before now. Maybe if I’d read this glowing review in The Atlantic Monthly …which it turns out I completely agree with, seven years late. Yesterday I made a [...] I just adore Heidi Swanson’s food blog, 101Cookbooks.com so when I was thinking of what to make for lunch today (which turned into a bit of an impromptu Bed Day when Kate went over to a friend’s house for the day) I immediately thought of the gorgeous Vegetarian Split Pea Soup recipe she just posted.
