I well remember the unbridled glee we all felt in grade school when, first thing in the morning, the Principal walked in to announce that we’d have a substitute teacher that day.

[Rich and delicious raw Cream of Zucchini Soup] Hope y’all had a great Labor Day weekend (or Saturday and Sunday, as the case may be). The HH, Girls and I had a lovely weekend despite my need to do some school work. We brunched, enjoyed a couple of sun-kissed walks (and the Girls even had […]

Today I’m delighted to be a featured guest blogger on Sunny’s lovable blog, And Love It, Too. Her theme this month is lunchbox lunches, and I’ve contributed one of my favorites, raw collard wraps.

Creamy Pasta with Almond Feta and Broccoli Rabe

Chinese Scallion Pancakes: The Remake
The other evening, my friend Eternal Optimist and I went to see a movie (Friends with Benefits–surprisingly enjoyable, and I even liked Justin Timberlake in it!).

Baked Sweet Potato Falafel
Do you believe in sharing your food? I don’t mean “sharing” in the (laudable) sense of offering your excess tomatoes to an elderly neighbor who can’t grow her own any more, or asking your single, cash-strapped nephew to your holiday feast, or donating part of your groceries to the local shelter; when I say “sharing,” what I mean is […]

Chickpea “Quizza”
[Delicious as a pizza–stellar as a quiche. This recipe has many talents!] Have you heard that Hugh Jackman, that alluring Aussie known best for his role as a latter day wolfman, is performing a one-man cabaret-style show here in Toronto right now? That’s right: Wolverine’s tricks span beyond giving manicurists nightmares or saving bald-headed professor-types from magnetized […]
