BBQ Oven Pork Chop w Barley
this is a blog about the food in my life. what I eat, what I wanna eat, what I make, what I bake, what I wanna make and bake, ideas and recipes. it's also my thoughts on food or stories behind the meals. the lyric references are from my lifelong love of classic rock and funk and from working a hunnerd years in music retail.

September Morning Still Can Make me Feel that Way

Homemade Stovetop Frittata - delicious! |

I just want to give a shout out to diner coffee. Cups change a bit throughout time but generally, it's a nice solid thick ceramic off-white cup. The coffee is piping hot and fresh. It's especially nice somehow when an old male waiter brings it to you or an older woman that calls you honey. I can't do refills as I'd fly right outta my seat but I love the sound of the refresh pour.

Deer in my sister's yard now on the regular. Gorgeous! |
Still riding solo in Brooklyn while my husband cats around on the road somewhere. I'm nothing if not predictable, so I had to make myself a nice tomatoey pot of spaghetti.

Let me Remember Things I Love, Lord
Yesterday's taco sauce became today's Green Goddess dressing for a side salad and a burger patty.

Come on Home to Green River
When the world has turned green, it is the best feeling to also eat as many greens as possible.
These simple chicken tacos with green bell peppers and onions made on the stovetop grill pan to keep the heat down, were light and fresh and exactly what you want on a hot day. I added jalapeno to my green sauce and an avocado. The canned black beans also were tossed around with cumin, jalapeno, cilantro and lime.

Just Walk in My Shoes

Trying out my new kicks on a solo walk around the neighborhood. Around the corner is a new community garden that looks a step above the rest, with these cool head statues. |

Tomorrow Who's Gonna Fuss?
For a moment, I thought that maybe I could rock this look above. That is, if I had enough hair on the top and sides of my head for bangs. I've always fantasized about wearing sideburns but didn't want to look like Lady Gaga in drag. Actually, now, I think that might be fun to rock an androgynous look with great hair and no makeup. Someday maybe it won't be strange at all to dress and look as you please each day.
I rocked a nice cilantro lime sauce over this roasted chicken and potatoes that made all the difference. Cilantro, yogurt, lime, garlic and cayenne blended.
I stuck a can of garlicky chicken stock up this little fellah's behind and he stood up straight for me throughout his roasting and stayed nice and moist.

There is always a threat of a violent storm when I'm alone, which is both exciting and fodder for self pity |

Bad weather always seems to hit when he's gone too but fortunately, this time everything fizzled out before it hit land. |
