Cooking the Food of Love: Esfanaj-o-porteqal — or, orange you hungry?
http://cookingthefoodoflove.blogspot.com/2009/09/esfanaj-o-porteqal-or-orange-you-hungry.html
Esfanaj-o-porteqal — or, orange you hungry? As you might expect, after the preceding adventure into the land of "bonus meats" (an old term describing the nonstandard bits of the animal; look down the left side of this 1943 newspaper page. I was in the mood for something a little less, let's say, intense. I love to eat those unusual dishes, but the preparation can be a bit of a burden. And when I think about making comfort food, it's as much about the cooking as the eating. Comfort food, here we come.

Cooking the Food of Love: Khorak-e zaban — or, how about some tongue?
http://cookingthefoodoflove.blogspot.com/2009/09/khorak-e-zaban-or-how-about-some-tongue.html
Khorak-e zaban — or, how about some tongue? I knew, when I launched this project, that I'd be exposed to some things I'd rarely (or never) cooked, or even eaten. Heck, that's what I was hoping. For; it's sort of the point of the exercise. So what's my ingredient? That's right: beef tongue. But while I've eaten. Lots of tongue, I had not, prior to this day, actually cooked. It first, that might be too much to ask. Peeling a banana, no problem; but peeling meat? Let's get to it, shall we? And, of course, t...

Cooking the Food of Love: Serkeh khiar, kuku-ye jujeh — or, starting simple
http://cookingthefoodoflove.blogspot.com/2009/08/serkeh-khiar-kuku-ye-jujeh-or-starting.html
Serkeh khiar, kuku-ye jujeh — or, starting simple. For the first couple of recipes, I decided to keep things fairly straightforward. A kuku, therefore, fits the bill. Kukus are egg-based concoctions (alternate English spellings: kookoo, koo-koo, and sometimes ku-ku), commonly likened to quiches, omelettes, or souffles, or maybe. Less commonly, they might be compared to. The same as the Mexican variety), which. Plus we had some leftover roast chicken in the fridge that needed to get used up. I hate th...

Cooking the Food of Love: In which I lay out the plan
http://cookingthefoodoflove.blogspot.com/2009/07/in-which-i-lay-out-plan.html
In which I lay out the plan. In the previous entry — the first of this blog — I set out, at considerable length, a description of who I am and why I'm doing what I'm doing. The Princess read it, and liked it, and then she said . uh, it's pretty long, isn't it? Yes, dear, I know. Don't cut me, baby. For the record, the Princess is a fan of the Idol. I will attempt to restrain myself but I can't promise it won't be mentioned again.). By the way, I also can't promise that references to. First, something lik...

Cooking the Food of Love: A foodie interlude — Chicago (part one)
http://cookingthefoodoflove.blogspot.com/2009/09/foodie-interlude-chicago-part-one.html
A foodie interlude — Chicago (part one). Although I love to cook, and frequently do, I don't make dinner every single night. Sometimes, I like to go out, and let a professional handle the cooking duties. As I said in the first couple of entries of this blog, there are some fantastic restaurants around, in my hometown and elsewhere, and I'd be crazy if I didn't take advantage of opportunities to visit them. So if you're looking for another piece of the New Food of Life. Posted by The FoodNinja. Hmmm now t...

Awkward attempts to explain what happens when I try to sit still. Laquo; Looking back to look forward – Happy New Year’s 2013! Craftiness 2012: Year End Review. This wasn’t on my crafting list. Not complete. By the way, we’re now in a new house. Does that count for something? Started, and nearly finished. What will help me finish this one is someone who can help me tame the bodice. And I think she’s coming in April (Yippee! Started, and then put it back to original. Housewife kit. Kind of but not really.

Looking back to look forward – Happy New Year’s 2013! 1) Move: Check that bad boy off the list. I even got the dishwasher, craft room and a third garage stall.

Cooking the Food of Love: I'm not dead
http://cookingthefoodoflove.blogspot.com/2009/11/im-not-dead.html
If you've been following this blog over the few months of its lifespan so far, you may have noticed the uncomfortable pause of the last several weeks. That would be the final installment of the Chicago Restaurant Adventure, which is proving remarkably resistant to cogent analysis. I've been thinking about how to approach the subject, and have started different versions of the essay half a dozen times, only to run out of steam and delete the effort with frustrated resignation. Thanks for your patience.
