My New Prep Cook
When I asked Miles if he had any special projects in mind to work on over his summer vacation, he told me “I want to help you in the kitchen when you cook.” Yesterday we picked out a knife and … Continue reading
Four Magic Words
Tasty salted pig parts. To paraphrase Bob Dylan, there’s no part of that phrase I don’t like. Boccalone is a salumeria in San Francisco, but they also have an online store. Add this to my list of reasons for a … Continue reading
Most faithful mirror
You may remember the Cocteau Twins, the second best band1 on the 4AD label. What I loved about them — apart from their moody, evocative music — was the voice of their singer, Elizabeth Fraser. She made what were essentially … Continue reading
Market trends
Still overloaded on vegetables from last week’s market trip, I pared down the purchases today. Boston lettuce, red chard, garlic scapes (the curly things), country sourdough loaf, asparagus, first cherries of the season, heirloom cherry tomatoes (tomatoes will be a … Continue reading

Tortilla Española with Chorizo and Scallions
In the summer months I try to cook some meals that incorporate more vegetables and less meat, preferably meals made with the local market produce. I had eggs from a nearby farm, chorizo from a newly-opened Portuguese market, and a … Continue reading
David and the Chocolate Factory
I didn’t include one of the vendors in my original post about the Union Square Farmer’s Market because I don’t consider them a seasonal addition, but rather a permanent fixture in our neighborhood. I’m talking about Taza Chocolate. I first … Continue reading
Market Report
Another morning spent at the farmer’s market. I’m already back in the habit of pacing myself: not buying something merely because it looks good, but only if I’ll cook it within the week. Sugar snap peas, fresh cut flowers for … Continue reading
Thinking About Rethinking Autism
“Autism. It’s all over the media. The conversation is focused on causation and cure. It’s time to change the conversation toward hope, support, respect and understanding. The facts are not sexy. So, we got someone who is to explain them.” … Continue reading
