almonds, cheese, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, lettuce, olives, vegetables, vinaigrette

The Spaniards eat salad.  They eat salad communally.  It’s usually served with simple,  seasonal ingredients, on a large plate set in the middle of the table.  They splash on a good sherry or red wine vinegar and always, always, always their best olive oil drizzled over.  It’s a thing of beauty.  Continue reading →

Summer Shrimp SaladThis is wonderful on a hot day.  And there are still have a few hot days around.  This is a riff on the shrimp salad my mother used to make.  She used canned shrimp, because we didn’t get much fresh or frozen shrimp in the Northern Plains back in the day.  But, we’ve come a long way baby.  Continue reading →

006Summer rolls are an absolute favorite of The Goddess and her peeps.  They are the perfect summer dinner on a scorching hot day, but really I can eat these any day, any time, any season.  The most difficult part is rolling them, and after about 2 or 3, you get the hang of it pretty quickly.  They are fast to prepare, can be made ahead, and are delicious.  The kind of thing you can whip up (or roll up) after work, in a flash.  Continue reading →

Carrots, ginger, hoisin sauce, lettuce, oyster sauce, pork, soy sauce

004San Choy Bow is what we’re really talking about here…Lettuce Wraps with Asian Flavors or the simpler and more to the point, Chinese “Tacos”.  These can be prepared quickly, are incredibly delicious with a mix of salty-sweet flavors (they have hoisin sauce in them) and kids love them…at least ours did and do.  This is fun food, with the benefit of being delicious.  Continue reading →
