I know in my family that all good times and conversations happen while sitting in the kitchen. So I invite you to my NYC sized kitchen, enjoy the food created and good conversation.Have A Seathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13139970759342224603noreply@blogger.comBlogger441100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367003505311873411.post-70737788054830489582010-11-14T21:49:00.003-05:002010-11-14T22:20:31.923-05:00

I know I haven’t been around in while and I am sorry for that, however if you read my blog you will know that I am now working and have little time to post. I am back and yes, this particular post refers to early October. As far as my next post, I do have something in the works this weekend (Nov.13-14) …It may take me a few weeks to post, but I know you will all love it and so I appreciate your

So when I actually had money to spend, being in NYC, delivery for anything is just a given. Take out, Dry Cleaning, Laundry, Drug Store (inlc. sundries), and most of all groceries. I tell you, I had quite the pampered life for a little while. There is one major On-line grocer in NYC that I was very loyal to, until I lost my job and to be honest, a few of my orders that included fresh herbs were a

Long about a Saturday Night…a couple of glub, glubs relaxin’ drinking some beer, thinkin’ ‘bout food. Well I looked in my cupboard and put my face in the fridge, I scratched my head and I grabbed all the leftover stuff and then I made a Mish Mash of my Spaghetti splash and well, I had a blast! Ok, that opening statement is probably lame and geeky, but it’s been in my head for about a few weeks

So, ok, I eat a lot of pasta, as there is definitely a pattern in most of my posts. This post is no different, but I hope in this case, it will give you ideas on “Food to Go” or “Fast Food” for the whole family. It’s all about making something ahead of time, portioning it out and storing it for those meals to take to work, a snack for the kids after coming home from school or even late night eats

So, I’m still not really working and I have so many hours in the day/week/month to accomplish things. And I do keep busy, but there are some days, where you really feel as if you accomplished more than normal. This past Sunday (08/15 actually), I felt like I just hopped, skipped, jumped and went overboard with being productive on what generally is considered a luxury/lazy day off. I actually woke

Basil is another one of my favorite foods/herbs; the perfect complement to my personal red/orange/yellow/green or multi color Tomato bliss. I think you might imagine my next favorite, but that’s another blog, but I will say it’s always white and should be consumed fresher than fresh. ;) There is nothing that I can think of, except maybe…hmmm, I can’t think of anything, Basil can’t go with.

Pancetta (P), Leeks (L), Bursting Tomatoes (BT) and Gorganzola (G), what more can you ask for in dish! I love risotto as much as love cooking it, and who doesn’t love the idea of taking an old BLT concept to an Italian rice dish! I am going to be short and sweet on this post…I think I said all I can say about Risotto in one of my previous posts: Risotto Done in my Italian way So, if you read my

So, I am not one to really endorse products (yet), but I do feel the need to endorse a Website that I believe will help everyone, when it comes to the basic food product we call the “Egg”. How many times have you wanted to hard boil/cook eggs and when you do so, you go by what Mamma or Grandma (maybe there are some dads and grandpas too) taught you? You boil water and place your eggs in boiling

Well, this blog may be off topic, but recently for us NYC folks, the Washington Post (can’t site the exact article, I don’t have a subscription and heard it on the news) recommends trying to ban air conditioners all together. I say to the WP writer, are you really listening and speaking up for the general public to even propose this issue? Are you not taking your proper meds or are you on LSD?

Get ready to spread your love all over the place with the versatile French based recipe called Tapenade. Don’t know what Tapenade is? Well, I pity the folks who have never experienced this versatile and extremely tasty concoction.

When I first started this blog, I posted a quick write up on how I love Sardines (Saltines and Omega 3) and the fact that I think they get a bad rep. I also posted a link to an Alton Brown, Good Eats recipe “Sherried Sardine Toast” that I had not tried out at the time, however recommended to folks who are willing to eat these lovely little fishes.

Hi folks, sorry for the long delay in posting a recipe. Been kinda busy these days and like in my previous post, the foods I’ve been preparing and/or eating haven’t been all that exciting to write about. As much as I love to cook, I still can’t figure out how all the chefs in the world can cook in such a hot environment through the summer months. Granted, you do lose a lot of weight, as it’s

Alright, I know my last post wasn’t exactly food, but my blog is about food and “conversation” in the kitchen. That would include Art, Music, Politics and whatever else is discussed alongside food or not. I’ve gone the ultra boring route of food this month…simple sandwiches, plain ole spaghetti and salads that are not all that intriguing to post to everyone. So, my culinary attempts this month

I do come from a family of great artistic talents; I unfortunately did not get the professional art bug like my mother, father and younger sister. However, I do have and artistic side which I dabble in every few years. Whether that be sketching, painting and/or wishing I didn’t give away all my jewelry making materials and machines. I am good with my hands and am not afraid to get dirty. When I

I was sitting on the couch the other day on my computer; it was about 5pm when the local news was starting up. Usually at this time, I end up doing the dishes, as the local station I watch has 3 half hour sessions and each generally triplicates all the top stories that were aired at noon time (remember, I’m still not working). So doing chores for the first session isn’t a huge deal as I can catch

Ever have a loaf of bread go bad on you or stale before its time? Well I have, on way too many occasions. As a virgin bread maker and shopper/taster of great artisan breads and a single gal, I can’t eat all the bread I make or even buy. So what do I do with my left over bread aside from giving it away? Well, I hate to admit, the day after Earth Day, I don’t always recycle what I should when it

I can’t remember when I didn’t love beets, but I am sure my parents would tell me otherwise. Beets are such an amazing vegetable, but I think they should call it a fruit as it is so full of sugar! Did you all know that some commercial sugar products are primarily made of Beets? Almost half of the sugar we buy is made from beets. Yes, regular white sugar is not just from Cane Sugar, it’s from

Of all the foods I have eaten in my life, the Tomato is to me the most endearing and favorite fruits/vegetables of all time (I call it a fruit). I eat heirloom, regular, cherry and grape tomatoes like candy! I am a sucker for homegrown heirloom Tomatoes of any variety and this story dates back to one of my earliest memories of one of my favorite foods of all my time. It’s a long post, but I

Years ago, I had been given the opportunity by my mother and step father to cook a few appetizers for some special occasion. I cannot remember exactly which occasion it was, but as someone who was trying to find new and updated recipes, I in my controlling enthusiasm, had to dictate what I would prepare. Now, at the time my parents gave me this opportunity, their budget was fairly reasonable and

My adventures of bread making are getting a bit better, but I think after this last loaf, I’ve come to a bit of a bread making impasse. One of my main goals of bread making is to bake good ole rustic crusty bread, whether that is sour dough or of Italian/French style. This most recent recipe I used did come closer to my goal, but I think I may have tripped up a bit on the kneading process. This

While I await next weekend’s cooking extravaganza, I’ve been busy baking bread for the siblings/family. Since I am poor, severely poor these days, I’m baking more bread than ever. I have enough ingredients to bake me so many great bread options for the next 6 months to a year. But this time it’s time to cook for my Sis and her Bo, so they have something to eat also (I have a tendency to be a

I believe that in any kitchen, there must be some standard food staples you must have and never be without. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Parmesan Cheese (not from a jar or can), Onions, Potatoes, Lemons, Tomatoes, eggs, flour and most of all lots and lots of Garlic! When I started cooking, I made it a point to always have garlic in my kitchen. Not only does it go in almost every dish I cook (except

Ok, I realize I might get some flak for doing another brownie recipe, but this recipe is what I originally wanted to make, but thought I had lost it forever. Lucky for me, when I was searching for chocolate pudding recipes in my cookbook library, the recipe fell out of my Joy of Cooking book. I couldn’t believe that I actually saved it and found it several years later.  So of course, I needed to

Ok, most of you read my blog: Food Traditions-Bodega Style and may have thought based on my comments in the 3rd paragraph regarding my sister's diet, I dissed her in some way or another. Sorry if my comments alluded to that, but I never meant to "dis" her in any way. My sister is a vegetarian as well as her boyfriend.

That’s right, it’s risotto time! I haven’t made this dish in ages and although I only had 2 votes on what to cook next, I am glad that at least one person picked the risotto dish (I secretly picked the other). I’ve got big plans this weekend (big rain storm coming) to cook a few dishes. Keep on the lookout for my Homemade Ravioli and I will be making the Chocolat Bouchee even though no one picked

We both have the privilege of being decedents of Italy and Lithuania origins as well. Our English history is the most documented in my family, as we are related in someway to the founders (Roger

I’m sure some of you reading my blog may say, “Hey, she bakes a lot of sweets!” and most are probably wondering if I eat them all. No, I don’t eat the sweets I bake. Yes, I do have a bite or two to taste, but generally I never consume what I bake when it comes to confections. So, what do I do with all these mouthwatering desires? I give my baked treats to those I know will enjoy and appreciate

So, I watched Secrets of a Restaurant Chef with Anne Burrell a few weeks back and she prepared a potato dish called “Pommes Chef Anne”. It’s funny that this show magically appeared, as I was putting together a post about one of my favorite potato dishes: Potato Pancakes. But Chef Anne’s dish looked so good; I thought I would forgo the potato pancakes this time and try her recipe out. I

For those who have been anticipating and waiting a long, long time for me to make my cheesecake again, the wait is over!  My run for Olympic Gold will never happen, but my run to make the best cheesecake ever has been completed. I spent most of the week, mentally preparing for this long awaited treat, because honestly, it has been more than several years since I baked my last cake. Why so long?

I’ve never, EVER, been a huge sports fan. And this blog may be a bit off topic for most of those wanting to see what I cook next, but this past week the Olympics have taken a higher priority to me. I have actually surprised myself, with my attention to the winter sports this year. Though I will admit it my appreciation for winter sports really started 4 years ago during the 2006 Torino events and

I mentioned in a previous post that about a year ago that I obtained a bread maker. Since then, I have been making many types of bread from the product maker’s recipe booklet, after I got more comfortable with the machine, I have been branching out a bit more into more Artisan style breads. The great thing about a bread maker is it does most of and sometimes all of the work for you. What I like

It’s Snowy, cold and windy in NYC and what a great day to stay in and bake for comfort and some sweetness. There is nothing like homemade hot cocoa and the aroma of cinnamon permeating throughout the house. I do love when I stink up the entire apt building with wonder aromas of fresh baked bread, sweet & savory spices, and cakes and of course when I cook with garlic! Ahhh, the smell of something

I just finished watching the HBO Special Temple Grandin Starring Claire Daines. I’ve known about Temple Grandin for many years now, thanks to a PBS special I had seen. I think she has brought amazing insight to the meat industry and I hope that she will continue to better our national treatment of cattle and hopefully other animals we consume as a nation. BTW-Claire Daines was an amazing

I will admit that even though I consider myself a food snob of sorts, I do love a classic American grilled processed cheese sandwich with tomato soup, especially during these winter months. Now, you might think this is about the classic canned Tomato soup and all American Grilled Cheese, but you are half wrong. I did buy a can of that classic canned Tomato soup a few weeks back and found it very

Ever been stupid enough to fall for the loose salt cap and more salt than you bargained for ends up all over your food? Well, salt didn't exactly happen in my most recent case, but what makes it worse is that not only was I the sucker of this cruel act, I was the perpetrator as well and that's what makes this doubly stupid. I had recently realized after a full day of cooking confections, I

Well, it looks like, at least at my local bodega, my brownies won't make any money. According to the son of the owner, no one wants to pay $2 for a 2.5x2.5 brownie. Most of the customers would rather pay $1.50 for a mass made and unknown ingredient filled piece of crap. And this bodega doesn't even sell brownies from the vendor they purchase from! I kind of knew in the back of my mind folks in my

My job search goes on, still with no real success. I seem to attract lots of recruiters, but the jobs I'm either not qualified for or nothing seems to pan out. It's all been lemons! Don't get me wrong though, I love lemons. So I thought in honor of me still "pounding the pavement", I thought why not take all the lemons from my job hunt and make Lemon Pound Cake (It's too cold for Lemonade)! I am

Nooooo...These are not brownies baked with illegal substances.  However, they can be considered somewhat "green"-the ingredients are mostly organic and no delivery services required.  Though the green I am really hoping for is monetary. About a year ago, I had made a batch of Brownies with Peanut butter swirls and brought them to my local bodega owner and his kids.  His kids loved them so much,

Poor in NYC? Need a way to feed yourself and others on the cheap? Well, if you don't have alot of bucks and are willing to put a little time and effort into this next adventure, this meal is for you! Gnocchi, Gnocchi, Gnocchi, Gnocchi! Just 3-4 plain old russet or idaho potatoes (depending on size), 1 large egg, 1 cup of flour and a dash of salt will feed a party of 4 or even more! in NYC that

Now, I grew up eating Sardines, so they don't skeeve me out and I feel bad for those folks who can't seem to get past the little critters.  They are so tasty!  What I didn't know was that Sardines are rich in Omega 3's, which made me feel even better about eating them. My favorite way to eat sardines is with saltine crackers. Simple, delicious and as plain as can be.  I only buy one kind of

So, since I've been out of a job for way over a year, thought I would go down TV memory lane, since this blog is about food, cooking and the kitchen for the most part.Not that I watch any cooking shows religiously, I however do have my favorites.  I have grown with many chefs that have come and most regrettably gone to another rhelm or just disappeared from the media.The following chefs, in no

I was an advid cookbook and magazine collector before the web became a major source of information on food (yeah I might show my age...but I did have overlap-Real Info didn't really start heavily until 2000-HAH!). So all my cookbook collections serve me extremely well to this day.Here is a list of some of the cookbooks I reccommend to anyone who loves to cook or bake...These books, no matter the

I don’t know about anyone else out there, but I LOVE potato chips. I hadn’t thought about making them from scratch for a long, long time, until I recently made a huge batch of Gnocchi and had 2 russet potatoes left. So the end result was that I did make a batch of homemade potato chips. And folks, these taste so much better than ANY Store bought brand. Yes, these just happen to be plain, but you

I was watching the food network-Iron Chef (repeat) with Bobby Flay and Morimoto the other day. Flay created some dish, can’t remember the main ingredient, but he did something with Cucumber that got me thinking... Flay’s soux chef had cut the cucumber into a noodle style and mixed it with sherry vinaigrette. Sounded so yummy, so I came up with my own version. Cucumber Noodle SaladApprox 2
