The balanced sandwich

Today for lunch I walked to the Steel Bear Deli. I haven’t been there in a while and I needed a quick bite to eat. They make pretty good sandwiches. Today, I asked for a hot BBQ chicken breast sandwich with Dijon mustard, lettuce, sprouts, and sliced tomatoes—mmmmmm. But, I also ask that they layer …

Powsowdie Soup

This is a REAL recipe from a Scottish cookbook. Do you think the parsley actually adds to the appearence of the soup? Does it somehow make it more palatable? I think this recipe belongs in a biology class–not a recipe book. We had a roommate once who was a massage therapist and collected bones–any bones. …

Je n’aime pas manger les preservatifs

When I was a nanny in France, I had to spend the first few weeks adjusting to the new language. My French was very, very basic when I arrived. However, I discovered that with many words, I could say them in English with a bit of a French accent–and they meant the same thing. For …

Ruminations on Root Vegetables

Last night I bought some root vegetables to make soup–root vegetable soup with turkey. Wholesome. Nutritious. That was the plan anyway. I bought four red potatoes, a turnip (or I call it a turnip–people here in the States call it a rutabaga), a parsnip, and an onion. I already had celery and carrots. That’s it. …
