Quinoa, Basmati and Red Lentil Pilaf; the UpdateWell.....It's almost done.One of the drawers needs adjusting....And the towel bar will actually go on the wall rather than laying across the sink. (I didn't notice it until I uploaded the photo.)There are no shelves inside, yet....But, all in all, we are most pleased.I can't wait to start filling all those drawers!He has a few things… |

Risotto with Chicken Livers, Madeira and Sage; no updateNo house photos this week.Mon mari has continued work on rendering the walls upstairs.Every time I go up to look there is more, not less, to be done.It might have something to do with his tap-tap-tapping all over the walls with the claw side of his hammer.... Something about having to chip out the loose stuff before being able to… |

Lentil Soup with Chorizo; we're insulated!Finally, at long last.....We have insulation.Wanna see?Isn't it pretty?He had to build a frame around the skylight first..... Always something.....We can tell the difference already, with only a third of the roof done.He's not going to get it all done before winter, but he'll be able to block off the bit that isn't so it will be warm… |

Tuna, Caper and Feta Patties - and 2 more fish for LentOccasionally I like to meander down memory lane and dabble in what I consider 'retro' foods....You know, those foods we were forced to eat as children and now love.Or maybe something that we ate every week that we swore would never cross our lips once we were in charge of our own kitchen.My mother was a good cook, very good, actually,… |

Grilled Sausage, Potato and Green Bean Salad, garden crittersI read in the car…. It’s the only time I really have to read magazines.The other day, on our way to the canal for a bike ride, I was flipping through the August issue of Cooking Light.There was a recipe for potato salad with a light vinaigrette that… |

Braised Pork Chops with Creamy Savoy CabbageOkay, they’re not really pork chops.There was a special last week on ‘pork’ for 2.99 a kilo – about $1.50 a pound.It was in 3 kilo packages.I looked through the packages and found one that looked pretty good.I bought it.I thought, if nothing else, it would work for stir-fries, skillet dinners, etc.When I opened the box I was… |

Stir-Fried Pork with Summer SquashI had three summer squash / zucchini / courgette plants this summer.Normally that gives me enough to fill the freezer with soup for winter, eat more than we really want and fill the compost bin before pulling them out in a frantic effort to make them stop.This year, after harvesting a total of ten squash from three plants, which… |

Shrimp, Scallops, Green Olives and Capers on BasmatiThis is a very boring title for a really good shrimp and scallop dish….Unfortunately, fun creative names for recipes don’t ‘get found’.And it would be a shame if people didn’t find this.I could have called it ‘Sunset over the Mediterranean’.But I’m pretty sure Google wouldn’t have made the match.Butter and oil are used together – the… |

Salmon en Croute, with Carrots and Fennel, a simple misunderstandingAnother modest success in my effort to be more creative with fish.Fennel and tarragon are always a good pairing with salmon…Wrap it all in phyllo and toss it in the oven – easy as well as delicious.Even mon mari was pleased…Salmon en Croute, with… |

Kung Pao Chicken; doggie updateThis is the first time I have ever had Kung Pao Chicken, so I have no idea if I did it correctly.It’s based on a recipe from the book ‘the food of Asia, a food lover’s journey’.Right or wrong, it was one of the best dishes I’ve made lately.As usual, I didn’t add the hot pepper….We were very happy.Kung Pao ChickenTotal time: 35… |
