Dirty Rice | Mardi Gras Memory
One summer many years ago, my father had some work around New Orleans and not much money, so he brought my mother and me along and turned it into a holiday. We stayed in what must have been the French Quarter, in a smallish room with wood-slatted shuttered windows opening out onto a narrow balcony….
Love After Love
Happy Valentine’s Day, the day we celebrate love. The capacity for love is baked right into us — it’s one of the pluses of being human. It’s easy to show love towards our sweeties, our spouses, our children, friends and animals. Often, though, we don’t think to love and celebrate ourselves. So I’m doing it….

Hopping John
I like a clean house. I just don’t like cleaning it. But I do it, anyway. This past week, though, I’ve been in a cleaning frenzy, a scrub-the-grout, tidy-the-drawers kind of cleaning. I think I’m trying to scour away 2021 and usher in a shiny new year full of possibilities. Hope it works. I’m also…
The Artichoke Heart of the Matter
The artichoke is a star in its own right but every great star deserves a brilliant supporting actor and this red pepper dip fits the bill. Is this artichoke not a thing of beauty? It’s from the estimable Catherine, one of my fellow volunteer instructors at Common Threads. She’s working on perfecting her artichoke for…

Lentils are low water, low carbon, high yield, they actually put nutrients back into the soil. They put nutrients in us, too, being loaded with fiber and protein. French lentil salad will fuel…
Not Your Nonna’s Pasta for World Pasta Day
Today is World Pasta Day, created by the Italians to celebrate the food the whole world loves. How do you pasta? For me, pasta without a drizzle of olive oil for silkiness and gilding seems lonely, It’s probably nothing your nonna would approve of, either. You don’t want to piss off your nonna. I’m stingy…
