Elissa Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Tonight is orzo cooked in chicken broth tossed with feta, Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, and olive oil (if it needs it). I can only make meat-free dishes when Jim isn't around. No meal is complete for him without some kind animal! It can be a challenge! The other night I made farro with arugula, scallions, toms etc but he wanted fish (and ordered sushi) so I made an Asian dressing: sesame oil, rice vinegar and soy sauce with ginger, thai basil, cilantro. I love cooking in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catesta Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Minestra di Fagioli (pasta fazool) I could eat this every other day. My father always made it spicy and very thick following my grandmother's recipe and I loved it. I make it a little more soup like with nicely chopped pieces of pancetta.

Free For All Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Lots of great berries at the store lately- I made a blueberry cobbler last week that was damn tasty. I've never been much of a baker but it was pretty simple. I tell ya, sometimes it's hard to get excited about cooking for just one but I do enjoy my various projects.

I actually prefer cooking for one. If it turns out bad, I'm the only one that knows, so my record stays intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I should mention the eggplant and potatoes were from Ann's garden. She picked the blueberries and raspberries at a farm and bought the peaches from the local farmer's market. We tend to eat local. The chicken is probably from China.
