When your 3-hour play started late, but you still need a supper, and then you want to continue the discussion that began when you entered the theater: thin slices of dense ‘Homadama’ (wheat, corn, water, maple syrup, salt, slaked lime) from Lost Bread Co., not toasted, because they were both very fresh and very firm, …

eggs, epazote; tomato, lovage; bacon, dark cornbread
Especially compared to my usual Sunday practice, the herbs and spices were pretty minimal yesterday at lunch, but the epazote was a star on the eggs. And the new bread was scrumptious. The meal introduced something else new to our table: A local, ‘European style'(cultured) 86% butterfat butter (that is to say, 12 of the …
salumi, lettuce; gorgonzola/walnut panzerotto, radicchio
There was no fresh fish, and I hadn’t thought far enough ahead to arrange for a meat. I had assumed I would put together a meal using a dried pasta and something from the pretty broad ready choice of possible ingredients, but when it came close to dinner, I hadn’t come up with anything. One …
December breakfast: bacon and eggs, tomatoes and chilis
It was the first morning of December, so of course we enjoyed local tomatoes with our breakfast. The 2 that I used in this meal, saving the rest for a dinner the next day, came from a small stash that I thought at the time would be the last of a long season, but at …
lunch of consequence
After last week’s detour through a one-stop condiment arrangement involving some homemade Zhug, today I went back to assembling a lot of separate things in little bowls for our traditional Sunday bacon and eggs early afternoon meal. It was a lunch of consequence. It included, not necessarily in any order: 6 fresh eggs from pastured chickens, John Stoltzfoos’ …
bacon, eggs, 17 other ingredients (not including ‘Rienzi’)
Lots of things going on here. We had bacon and eggs early Sunday afternoon, as we usually do. Also as we usually do, we invited a lot of things to join us. In fact there were so many things, and they all jumped onto the table so fast, I’m not sure I can give an …
tomato bruschetta; lemon pork chop; sautéed bitter melon
Although I hadn’t anticipated any problems earlier, once I had started to put it together, this meal turned out to be a bit of a challenge. Without doing any research on it, I had decided to buy a vegetable (I think it’s actually a fruit) that I seen showing up in the Union Square Greenmarket …
lunch with Amish farm eggs and bacon, tomatoes and stuff
But of course our Sunday lunches (which are also breakfasts) almost always include Amish farm eggs and bacon; it’s almost everything else that changes, although sometimes only slightly. yesterday, in addition to 6 fresh eggs from pastured chickens and 4 slices of bacon from pastured pigs, all from John Stoltzfoos’ Pennsylvania Millport Dairy Farm in the Union …
grilled swordfish salad; roasted goat rack; brussels sprouts
The only swordfish steaks left inside the fishers’ bucket on Friday when I arrived at his stand in the Union Square Greenmarket were a bit larger than what we normally share, so, at Paul’s suggestion, that evening I decided to cut off a smaller section, grill it with the other two, larger parts, that we …
breakfast with less was a little more
It was good. Although it was a little simpler than many of these mid afternoon ‘fast breakers’, so I had at least metaphorically brought fewer things to the table. There were still a lot of containers however but fortunately I actually enjoy washing up afterward, and have never had a dishwasher, or even wanted one. …
