No, you're right, I should be grateful. I never knew that I all I needed to do was ask Geez. It all seems so simple now.

Absolutely. There's just so much to learn about tortoises. You can never go wrong learning about tortoises.

Radiated tortoises. Irradiated tortoises. They're not the same thing. But if there's one thing they have in common, it's that you should be smuggling them anywhere.

If you were looking for a day in which to gaze at a picture of a man with a beard and wonder aloud why he doesn't have a beard, you could do a lot worse than today.

I wonder if it might be like a lot of LA specific things and a victim of so much production moving out of California. Sort of like how Beverly Hills doesn't really occupy the same place in pop culture that it used to.

It used to be you could just dress an 8 year old boy up in a suit and tie and have him say "The wife and I are thinking of getting out to Vermont for the weekend, just the two of us. Get away from the kids." and they'd hire you as a writer for something.

I've never seen it either, but I am aware of it by reputation. Just in general, though, a director of movies for Evangelicals making a movie involving the Civil War that isn't pro-Confederate comes as a pleasant surprise. But then, it was 14 years ago.

There is no "Trending". Oh, you can see it there on the side, yes, you can toggle it on or off, but it's all an illusion. An illusion created by your mind. Like the itch of an insect bite, but the bite is that of the hidden creatures that feed on your hopes and dreams.

Thinking about this more, there's a timidity—and yet a petulance underneath—a pliability—and yet a defiance. It's like the duck or the rabbit, or the old woman or the young woman... A conundrum.

God Save Colleen, Butternut Sage Ravioli with Dijon Candied Walnuts. 


Longtime fans of the blog may notice that this is the first recipe I’ve featured that calls for sage! For years, I’ve been gesturing at a vague distaste for sage. (For my White Bean Soup with Brown Sugar Garlic Bread, I said, “Those with a naive palate could also add some sage, and perhaps later, Brad will ask you on a drive to Lover’s Lane.” How unspeakably rude!) You see, it’s time I come clean. It’s my husband who doesn’t like it. Actually, it’s my husband who claims he doesn’t like it.

His list of professed dislikes is infinitely long and includes spinach, mushroom, lettuce, tomato, paprika, carrot, curry powder, corn, avocado, fish, tarragon, oregano, broccoli, and much, much more. As a food lover, it has been difficult to work within his parameters, but any good chef loves a challenge. And though it stings my heart, every meal…

Drinking trick. Appearance of amazing drinking. 

Stop squeezing your bags! Gentle munch dot com. sloughed off into the garbage is a chance to try anew.

Imagine my surprise, then, when a few weeks ago, while out to lunch with his boss, I watched my husband happily eat a Cobb salad.

Having chosen the venue, the boss, a domineering galoot, ordered for the table. Tomato! Lettuce! Boiled egg! Some of my husband’s most reviled things, I thought. But I observed as he cleaned his plate with a smile, and as he dutifully laughed at the horrid oaf’s unrepeatable jokes.

Picture a hopelessly picky unitiate, ducking under the napkin to come face to face with an ortolan! The disgust of such a person does not begin to rival what I felt that afternoon. I said nothing of the incident. But I have been running my own set of private experiments.

The trouble, I realized, often begins when my husband asks me what’s in our meal, before even taking the first bite. Chefs delight in relaying the provenance of a dish! The preparation! The technique! But he has been using this all the while to torture me. To latch onto one dash of an herb, as a frustrated cop might a pinch of jaywalking, to sentence the whole dish to the bin.

So I have been making fabulous, decadent meals, and lying about…

What’s in homes to choke everyone? Your gasping family begs for the butter technique. 

YOU CAN STOP THEIR BIRTHDAYS, YOU KNOW.

what’s inside. I’ve been preparing whatever my heart desires, but when asked, making sure to stick to only to those ingredients which I know are pre-approved. Curries! Gazpachos! Do you know I made a haddock stew and said it was chicken? All lustily consumed as if he‘d never eaten in his life. How could I have ever married this inattentive rube, who would rather eat half the ingredients of two “Woppers Junior” than an artfully composed meal made by his meticulous wife?

Now, I know my husband has been lying about his distastes to anguish and vex me, so he’d have found some objections sooner or later. For this reason, I built in release valves at regular intervals. I cooked some of his favorite things—things that he frequently requests and adores, and said I’d experimented with a grating of nutmeg or a sprig of sage. (He hates sage most of all.) So he got to criticize me, and I got to watch him sadly get up, and with legs animated by pride, fight through the quicksand of our kitchen to set his full plate back on the counter. 

Do not despair, foodies! Myself, my friends, and our neighbors have frequently eaten well due to this hideous habit of his. Though he does sometimes like to employ the trashcan for more severe offenses, he couldn’t bring himself to scrape his beloved meatballs away, as if his mind was hoping it would change itself.

ADS: HUH?? I guess you’re still using expired crud. 

It pays to behave. Yum!


QUICK!!
Move away from this geographic feature known for spewing who knows what.Then came today’s recipe, my butternut squash and sage ravioli with candied dijon walnuts, made just last night. A quick one, as I wanted to leave time for quite an after dinner speech.

Plates licked clean, I began coyly. “I’m surprised you liked that so much. It had quite a bit of sage in it.” He sputtered. I rose.

“Because of me, your life has been full of all good things. Your heart full of love, your home full of children’s laughter, your table full of friends, and for the past two weeks, your belly full of sage! And mushrooms! And everything that makes life worth living!”

He slept at a hotel last night. His boss wouldn’t answer his calls.

I dedicate this recipe to CarolFromBristol who scolded me months ago for referring to my Crispy Duck with Black Cherry Gastrique as life-changing. “please. a recipecan never change you[sic] life,” you said.

Carol, a recipe can make you cry. A recipe can put hair on your chest. A recipe can lift your feet off the ground. A recipe can make your cat leave home and a different one can make it come back. A recipe can take an actor to bed. A recipe can change your life.

I think it feels like it's actually a lot more of my time than it is. It feels like it's almost all the time, but it's probably less than a quarter.
