Today having leftover Pasta con le Sarde, which was the first dinner I made in my new apartment. The sauce freezes well.

Had leftover chicken (was Julia Child's casserole-roasted chicken), I cooked up a bunch of it.

I also do photography and crochet. Photography gets me out of the apartment, and crochet I do while watching TV in order to avoid snacking.

I thought apple cider vinegar was supposed to be good for you in general, or is that just hype? Not sure I'd be eating vinegar daily, but I do often make a basic vinaigrette to save money on salad dressings. I also use it for cleaning.

Thanks, I live in Minnesota, though I am in the Twin Cities area. I will probably go with the veal liver, Walmart has it for less than $5 a pound. There's not a huge demand here for the super gourmet foods. Yeah, you can order online at places like Wild Fork, but the shipping is expensive...

It seems that there is not much demand for kidney meats where I live. When it does come up in the grocery store search engine, it’s very expensive, over $100 for a single item, and even plain old beef or pork kidney doesn’t come up at all. If I want to make some of the Julia Child recipes with...

Mine was Avatar 2 on streaming. I avoid going into theaters alone these days, for the most part. Just too risky nowadays.

Made the "Sauteed Cod With Lentils" recipe from the Gourmet Today cookbook. Did not have cod, so I substituted rainbow trout. Turned out pretty good.

Had a little bit of two different salads for lunch today, a parsley/grated carrot salad and a corn/avocado salad.

I made an eggplant and tomato hotdish out of a Middle Eastern cookbook. Very tasty and healthy. Served with brown rice.

For supper, I made a mung bean currry recipe with tomatoes. The curry seasonings were pretty typical, but it was good. Had it with cooked bulgur.

31 degrees with light flurries.

I buy canned seafood quite a bit -- it's a good cheap high protein snack out of the can (some are, anyway).

For many things I have to, it's the only way to get my work discount unless they change it, which I'm hoping they will.

I live in Minnesota. It's snowing mixed with freezing rain and 30 degrees. Has been snowing since early this morning.

Today I had leftover homemade curried pea soup, recipe courtesy of one of the Moosewood cookbooks.

I made vegan green chili stew from the Bean By Bean cookbook. Though it is encouraged to eat it with shredded cheese on top, you don’t have to.

Today was leftover rice & turkey, from the Joy of Cooking's chicken & rice casserole recipe. I was using up Thanksgiving turkey with it.

Most are, but many would not taste good cold (example: canned soup). Still, in a pinch (like a situation without electricity), you would survive eating them.

I batch-cooked Julia Child’s chicken breasts sautéed in butter recipe. Had with white rice and green peas. As I am single, have leftovers for later on this week.

Made tofu-ginger soup today on my lunch break. I did cheat a little and use the microwave, but I am hourly. I did cut up all the ingredients first.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking is one of my all-time faves. I would never have gotten into cooking (aside from microwaving things to warm them up) without Julia Child. Also love Joy of Cooking -- have both the classic and the 75th Anniversary editions. Old church cookbooks are also...

I am single and batch cooking is my main way of life. Usually make a couple of things on the weekends and freeze leftovers. Planning on making the Joy of Cooking Provincial Vegetable Soup tomorrow, huge crocokpot full. I live in MN and very often during the winter, I batch cook chili and also...
