Seriously Meatless: Tahina
we usually add some water to, and reduce the lemon to thin the tehina...which leads me to a funny story:
There is on any given day, usually a tupperware of tehina in our fridge, the go-to snack with some pita. So one day dad comes home from work, takes out the tupperware, heats some bread and has at it. Except...hm, maybe that wasn't what he thought it was, it was PANCAKE BATTER!
Snapshots from London: Good Eats At Borough Market
I once spent a good amount of time in Neal's dairy yard sampling a collection of cheeses with a good friend, at which occasion I realized I had developed a taste for strong cheeses. When we tried one, my friend and I responded "too weak" and "ick, too strong" simultaneously.
Also, the sangria and Pimms is worth the trip, perfect guilty pleasures!

it's an egyptian soup called molokhia (sort of a spinach soup), the best part is every time we eat it the whole local extended family comes and we make a night of it, cozy happy family time

pimento stuffed "martini" olives. i used to suck the pimentos out then eat the olive--straight from the jar, when parents were drinking martinis

Kiss the Cook!! What's for dinner Thursday Oct. 29th?
i bought some Pacific creamy butternut squash soup, and was sorely dissapointed. I hate to waste food but it does NOT taste like butternut. I had apples with almond butter for dinner instead.

That's the website I mentioned in my previous post. You and your mother might enjoy reading it, as it's very uplifting, my friend, Rachel has a great spirit that shines through in her writing.
My thoughts are with you and your mother
Serious Eater Low Iodine Recipes
A good friend of mine underwent the same diet for treatment a few months ago, and she subsisted on fresh fruits and veggies, also found some iodine free bread recipes online.
She put together a great website detailing her treatment and things she ate/felt/did...I will try to find it and post it as soon as possible.
Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Las Vegas,' Ep. 9
I don't like Jen. I'm sorry, I know I'm probably alone on this one, but there is a fine line between competitive (which I am) and just over the top to the point where she is uninteresting. As Carla would say, "there's just no LOVE in her food"
Slowcooker down and smell the roses!! Dinner Tuesday October 20th
midterms here too, i'd rather eat that peanut butter mayo burger than study for this calc exam.
BUT I'm giving myself a study break tonight and learning how to can/preserve! we're making pickled green beans with my slow foodie friends, very excited!
Snapshots from London: The Real Food Market at Covent Garden
everything at The Flour Station is so good. I would go to the Real Food Market before class and get chocolate chip cookies, so yum. I also got some beautiful shots of cupcakes at this market.
Thanks SE, you're making me want to move back to London now.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 88: Are Bananas Helping or Hurting My Weight?
eat what you love. my roommates and i--all athletes, go through LOTS of bananas and almond butter, and with a well balanced diet, and some exercise, they're a great addition to our diets.
but if you just want a partner for the peanut butter--there is NOTHING like a crunchy apple with the pb. we measure ours out by scooping the pb onto a teaspoon and spreading onto the fruit as we bite in--good portion control.
Give some lovin' to your oven! Dinner Thursday 10/8?
crepes with bananas and almond butter.
The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich
English muffin, grilled, with butter+bacon fat brushed on before grill. runny yolks, very melty cheese, slice of tomato.
Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
mom's mocha meringue cake. think hazelnut mocha meringue sheets with chocolate mousse in between. nothing beats it.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
A kids cookbook ordered off the back of the King Arthur flour bag--I think something like recipes from A to Z? Didn't really love the recipes in it. The first self-purchased cookbook was Second Helpings of Roast Chicken--mostly for its literary value as all the cookbooks I need are at home with mom --where I do most of my cooking.
Funky cheeses: How'd you develop a taste for it?
I have always (minus ages 7-9) loved cheeses, but didn't realize until recently how much I liked strong cheese, though i'm still working on loving the bleu.
I was at London Borough Market with some friends, and went to a cheese shop to pick out something to have with brunch. As we tried one cheese, I looked to the cheese-man and asked for something stronger as they simultaneously said the cheese was far too strong.
It was at that moment I realized...my name is veggieout and I have a stinky cheese problem.

Serious Cocktails: 'The Bartender's Gin Compendium' by Gaz Regan
i LOVE gin, and always get so much crap from people when i order g&t's "taste's like pinetrees!" they tell me. well i love my pinetree and tonic, if that's how you feel, and i can't wait to get my hands on this book for more pine-y cocktails!
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Oh, I love olives so very much. It's a toss-up between a buttery cerignola or the always delicious kalamatas...
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
fajitas, hands down.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Never met an olive I didn't love. My current favorite is picholine. It will be something else next week...
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Yes, I'm boring, but I'll pop kalamata after kalamata in my mouth just like candy (but picholines are nice too, and Gaetas... )
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption

Coming from a Turkish household, my favorite family dinner is mercimek çorbasi (lentil soup) with köfte (ground beef/meatball-like patties), domatesli pilav (tomato rice), and yogurt.
