Well, you know what they say. . . the best laid plans sometimes go AWOL (or something like that). In my case, plans for the Labor Day weekend–well, Sunday, actually–were waylaid by an impromptu visit. . . to the emergency room. No, not for me. The HH, however, is still recovering (and he’ll be fine, […]

The Nerd Makes Good: A Double Ode to Okra*
* Or, Give Pods a Chance! [Okra pods, in the raw] I have a confession to make. I haven’t told you all about this yet because, quite frankly, I was afraid you’d reject me. Move that cursor elsewhere, and click. At best, roll your eyes. Maybe snort in disgust. Maybe gag, even. But I’ve decided it’s […]
A Fresh Start. . . and 2008’s Last (Food-Related) Hurrah
[Potato-Kale Curry] First, and most importantly: Happy 2009, everyone! Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments and good wishes for the new year.

No, it wasn’t “Canada […]
Moroccan Spiced Tomato Soup
As promised, I’m going to supply the recipes from the cooking class I taught last week—my last ever in my home (sniff!). Now, on to today’s NAG-friendly recipe. . . . This recipe for Moroccan Spiced Tomato Soup was originally given to me by a former office mate, who eventually became a close friend. At the […]
Mediterranean Tofu Scramble
I have to admit, it took me a long time to warm up to tofu. When I first revamped my diet in accordance with the NAG principles, I had never eaten tofu, let alone familiarized myself with the many varieties in which it’s available. My naturopath touted the truism you hear so often: “It’s basically flavorless on […]
