I am so sorry for your loss. He was a compact little bundle of joy. When I first saw the title, I couldn't believe it, then when I read that he had died rather than that (for example) you had to give him away or find him another home--well, it's been with me all morning.

I found that my friend really appreciated the vegetable custards I made for her. Like quiche, they rely on eggs for protein but can be flavored with seasonal vegetables like asparagus which helps provide variety. Part of what sucks is that there are so few foods you can keep down, you get sick of them! There are some good quick recipes for the custards in The Microwave Gourmet by Barbara Kafka. My friend also loved miso soup with tofu and seaweed.

Good luck, there are a lot of people rooting for you!

Hi,
The ingredient list calls for twelve eggs, yet step #3 states to mash 8 of the egg yolks. What happened to the other four?

Salmon medallions from Barbara Kafka's Microwave Gourmet: with onions and mushrooms and spinach too if you like. Ready in ten minutes!

They are easy to find at a second hand store--paid $5 for mine.

Actually the lyric is "everything looks better in black and white". From Kodachrome.

Hi!

I have been a single parent for more than ten years, with two perpetually hungry boys under my roof. Fortunately they are adventurous eaters, albeit with food preferences. My father counts on four or five meals from me each week as he has macular degeneration and it's hard for him to cook or read nutrition information in the store.

I also love to cook, and dinner is so important for family time. I echo what others have said about planning, cooking for the freezer, keeping a stocked pantry, and planning the use of leftovers. I'd also add that I belong to a Community Sustainable Agriculture program and that this puts a weekly ZIP into my cooking. Three purple kohlrabi, broccoli, snow peas, oranges, spinach, purple carrots, turnips and dill will really get you thinking about mixing it up and cooking from ingredients.

A typical set of meals for two weeks: Shrimp and spring vegetable risotto, Hot and Sour Soup with homemade Shrimp Egg Rolls, chicken parmesan, linguine with clam sauce, Lentil soup with turkey sausage (crockpot), quiche, grilled salmon with brown rice and spinach, Easter ham with roasted veggies, miso noodle soup, lasagne, roasted chicken breast with capers (from this website), shrimp stirfried with Asian vegetables, homemade pizza (with leftover roasted veggies from Easter), Lamb Kebobs,

Each week I make a list of what I have in the fridge and freezer, what I am going to get at the CSA, and then I plan my dinners. I don't buy until after the CSA pickup so that I can get the sour apple needed for Kohlrabi Slaw.

One other thing I did was make a "master list" of menus of dinners I like to make. I color coded them by the type of protein they contained (with the exception of ham, nobody much likes pork at our house, one son does not like beef, my dad is allergic to chicken, etc.) and ended up with a list of over 50 meals. So if I need inspiration, I go back to this list and remember the great recipe from Microwave Gourmet (god bless Barbara Kafka) for salmon medallions in the microwave. It really didn't take much time and has proven to be a good investment when I'm out of ideas.

HI guys,

I am glad you have found this pie nirvana. Please get a clue: New York is not the world! I live in Southern Arizona and I'm just not interested in this stuff. Tell me how to Make this pie, I don't need an extension of the NYT food review.
