http://larissasfishbowl.blogspot.com/2008/12/gloriously-preemptive-french-christmas.html
A gloriously preemptive French Christmas. Dinner Club this week:. Roast Goose with gravy. Glazed and roasted carrots. Lobster Bisque with brandy. Arugula and endive salad with a honey vinaigrette. A variety of mashed potatoes. Cabbage cooked with apples. A chocolate bûche de noël. Pastries filled with vanilla cream. Best yet. Thank you, Wes! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Beyond the Fishbowl: Twitlight: Revenge of the Teenage Girls
http://larissasfishbowl.blogspot.com/2008/11/twitlight-revenge-of-teenage-girls.html
Twitlight: Revenge of the Teenage Girls. Contrary to what the title suggests, I actually really enjoyed this film. All I'm really mocking are the hordes of teenage girls clawing at their faces as they anticipate the film. It probably includes some of my eighth grade girls, and frankly, back in my teenage years? I'd probably have clawed at my face a little too. Push comes to shove? While I enjoyed this movie- and I'll tell you why momentarily, I would like to get my gripes out of the way. And the ordinary...

Beyond the Fishbowl: Jamie Oliver, you can have my heart
http://larissasfishbowl.blogspot.com/2008/11/jamie-oliver-you-can-have-my-heart.html
Jamie Oliver, you can have my heart. One of the first cookbooks I ever owned was The Naked Chef by Jamie Oliver. I almost certain that somewhere along the line, I was given a copy of The Return of the Naked Chef, and that later along that same line I lost it. I ignored it for many years, mostly because I lacked an appropriate kitchen and the necessary budget to create some of his brilliant recipes. I mean- with enough butter, bacon fat and parmesan anything could be a success, but success nonetheless!

Beyond the Fishbowl: Raw recipe!
http://larissasfishbowl.blogspot.com/2009/02/raw-recipe.html
I felt like improvising today so I made my first raw recipe. I made 'spaghetti' out of raw zucchini and butternut squash. Then in the blender, I made a spinach/basil pesto! 2 Large kale leaves. 2 cups of fresh spinach. A handful of basil leaves. 3 cloves of garlic. 2 tbsp olive oil. 1/4 cup of raw sunflower seeds. 1/4 cup of raw pumpkin seeds. Sea salt to taste. I also added an avocado to the spaghetti to make it more filling, but I made plenty! Oh man it was so delicious! I 3 Mountains. Do you?

Beyond the Fishbowl: Bike Projects on the Rise. Will Obama encourage bicycle transportation?
http://larissasfishbowl.blogspot.com/2008/12/bike-projects-on-rise-will-obama.html
Bike Projects on the Rise. Will Obama encourage bicycle transportation? The cold, cabin-confined months of winter are the perfect time to mull over the state of the nation's bicycle commuting infrastructure. It all looks incredibly positive. I'm hoping that a bipartisan effort will be made to renew and reinvent (sometimes for the second time) our infrastructure. A return to rail and bicycles? It really, really, really wouldn't hurt to gradually abandon our car culture. Synopsis of that site:. While it wa...

Beyond the Fishbowl: In the Rabbit Club
http://larissasfishbowl.blogspot.com/2009/02/in-rabbit-club.html
In the Rabbit Club. For the last week now, I've only been eating uncooked organic fruits, vegetables, nuts and some sprouted whole grains (quinoa for instance). Whenever I write it out like that it seems so extreme. In practice, it hardly feels that way. Anyway, I've known many a vegan in my lifetime and none of them were malnourished. Some were even overweight. Even if its enriched, those vitamins aren't exactly readily absorbed by the body. Processed foods? I'd like to avoid a platter full of chemical ...

Beyond the Fishbowl: Où sont mes baggages!?
http://larissasfishbowl.blogspot.com/2008/12/o-sont-mes-baggages.html
Où sont mes baggages! I have arrived in Massachusetts, thanks to a miraculous woman at one of the dozens of United Airlines counters in O'Hare. The people at O'Hare remain true to their word. I have no doubts that that place is indeed the busiest airport in the world. I think I'm going to Maine tomorrow to visit my grandmother. I haven't seen her in over a year- probably more like two years. She's suffering from Alzheimers so I'm not sure she'll remember anything about me. It'll be good to se...

Beyond the Fishbowl: Three Months Later...
http://larissasfishbowl.blogspot.com/2008/11/three-months-later.html
Three months in brief, details to come:. 1 School = good. 2 Bicycling to school? To damn dark and as a result, dangerous. No longer bicycling to school. 3 New apartment downtown! Some have argued that I've been criminally negligent about this blog. Rather than post tasty little stories about the day to day experiences, my negligence has relegated my blogs to sweeping updates over many months which must, then, omit any interesting little details. Fear not, however! The New, Not-So-Humble Abode.
