Wednesday, October 15, 2008 I am not sure why it took me so long to try cooking Quinoa. I’ve had this bag of it sitting in my pantry for a couple of months now. I guess I was worried it would be tough to cook, or maybe Diana would not like it or I would [...]

VDP: Arish
Posted in Breads and Pies, Dairy, Green Vegetables, Vegetarian Dinners Project (VDP), tagged Arugula, Curdled yogurt, Yogurt on October 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Monday, October 3, 2008 Looks a lot like ricotta, but it’s not. It’s Arish or Arishah. It is a Lebanese staple and is ridiculously easy to make and versatile. I made this batch because I found myself with about a half-gallon of homemade yogurt that was starting to turn too sour. In case you are [...]
VDP: Beans and Carrots with an Onion Salad

Monday, September 1, 2008 Well, Labor Day is here and, supposedly, so was Gustav the hurricane. We spent the weekend in San Antonio and ate a lot of heavy meaty foods like barbeque (chicken, brisket and sausage) and tacos (in all shapes and forms from lengua to chorizo and egg to awesome gelatinous spicy Chicharron). [...]
VDP: Tomato and Mozzarella Salad
Posted in Dairy, Green Vegetables, Vegetarian Dinners Project (VDP), tagged Basil, fresh mozzarella, Salad, Tomatoes on September 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Thursday, August 28, 2008 Tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella. Few ingredients are better when combined. I love to make this salad with the best tomatoes I can find. I toss them with a dressing made with excellent quality olive oil (a Sicilian one in this case), very little minced garlic, salt and pepper. The key [...]

Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Thai curry paste preparation is typically a bit complex. The number of items that go into the past can be huge, anything from dried shrimp to Kefir lime leaves to coriander roots. This one is a fairly simple one I improvised to make a quick weekday dinner. To make it faster [...]
VDP: Basil Gnocchi with Eggplant Sauce
Posted in Green Vegetables, Pasta and Noodles, Vegetarian Dinners Project (VDP), tagged Basil, Caponata, Eggplant, Gnocchi on August 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Thursday, August 13, 2008 Potato gnocchi can be lumpy, doughy, stodgy and heavy or they can be as they should be, soft fluffy pillows of goodness. I’ve made both types and learned from my mistakes. They key is to use cooked potatoes that are as dry as possible, to use as little flour as possible [...]
VDP: Penne with Cauliflower and Pesto-Ricotta Sauce
Posted in Dairy, Green Vegetables, Vegetarian Dinners Project (VDP), tagged Cauliflower, Italian Food, Pasta, Penne, pesto, Ricotta on August 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 Having a bounty of basil in the backyard gives me more of an excuse to eat pesto. I love the stuff on almost anything. Here as a pasta sauce for cauliflower. I was hoping to make some fresh pasta for this dish, but on a Tuesday in a busy week, I [...]
