Words fail me here; I can only say it was absolutely delicious, all of it, but at least the colors can speak for themselves. Okay, ‘juicy’. Juicy is easy to say. after the oven had been heated to 400º, exactly one pound of very fresh, cleaned, quite small and very tender baby squid from P.E. & …

pink smoked pork loin; purple potatoes; green pole beans
Well, that headline was really unnecessary, but while the meal wasn’t about color, it wasn’t diminished by its richness (which, I have to admit, wasn’t entirely serendipitous). ‘Leftover Kasslerbraten‘. The unembellished words don’t begin to describe the awesomeness. We had begun feasting on this nearly 7-pound roast the first day of this year. We enjoyed its third, …
fried eggs with a salsa in lieu of a profusion of condiments
I wanted to minimize the number of condiments and constituents I’d put into this meal, so I decided I’d try to get most of them together in small cups, to be placed on the table where we could each reach for them as we wanted. It only occurred to me after I had started to …
3-herb, 3-chilis, 6 [fried] egg-‘omelette’, bacon and tomato
(I turned the plate 90° clockwise after the photo) I know it looks maximal, especially after the last few Sunday lunches, when I’d been reducing the number of things I’ve been tossing into our breakfast/lunch plates, but I guess I got carried away with the current bounty of the kitchen’s larder. Once we had sat …
salume, cress; mushroom ravioli, alliums, olives, parmesan
Only a few hours before I began to prepare it, I hadn’t thought I’d be making dinner at all Saturday night, but by the middle of the evening it seemed like it would be the most comfortable way to satisfy our hunger, better than a restaurant, and also better than ordering even a very good …
crab cakes on a tomato salsa; buffalo labneh, herbs, spices
The original dinner plan was to pick up some good wild salmon at Chelsea Whole Foods, but when it came time to do so I didn’t feel like going out, even to the corner, having just finished doing several loads of laundry early in the evening. There was a package of two crab cakes inside …
‘nduja toasts, za’atar; pasta, grape tomatoes, mint, lovage
I don’t know how to characterize this meal, but it was delicious. a few ounces of ‘nduja, a classic Calabrian spreadable salumi (“loosely based on the French andouille introduced in the 13th century by the Angevins” – Wikipedia) now made locally by Rico and Jill of Walnut Hill Farm in Pawlet, Vermont, and available in …
labor day lunch, no picnic
Labor Day lunch. The September date on which the U.S. and Canada celebrate Labour day (Labour Day) was chosen to avoid the putatively un-American leftist, socialist, communist (and, not incidentally, Haymarket massacre*) associations of May 1, the day on which the rest of the world still honors labor, laborers, “..the class demands of the proletariat, and..universal peace”, …
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 …
