Every year around this same time, I make the twenty-minutes-by-car epic journey home to visit my parents.
I’m sure they think it’s because I’m a good daughter. Because I want to see them “one last time” before the craziness of the school year starts.
But so long as we’re being honest. (And when are we ever not?)
I do it for the figs.
Caramelized onion, cabbage and sweet potato chowder with rosemary…a delicious cross between soup and stew that helped me realize just how important sweet potatoes are to me. Check out the recipe over at Marcus Samuelsson’s blog!
I am submitting this to Souper Sunday hosted by Deb over at Kahakai Kitchen!
Do: Open doors. Pull out chairs. Say please and thank you.
Don’t: Touch my stomach. I know I have rock hard abs. (ha) But seriously…don’t touch them. Especially not on the same day that we met. Just…self control. Really.
Do people picnic after Labor Day?
Or is it one of those things, like wearing white in November, that will get me sneered at by every designer dog on the Upper East Side?
Maltipoo’s, goldmation’s, bea-tzu’s. None of them spare judgment.
I have a confession to make.
Against all odds. Against all of my wishes and convictions and my sense of what is good and right in this world.
I have become someone who texts before dating.
(Please don’t be mad.)
How does one prepare for an impending hurricane? By making tacos of course! Check out my recipe for tofu (or chicken or fish) tacos with spicy cabbage slaw and avocado on Marcus Samuelsson’s blog!
Welcome to Eats Well With Others, where we take a vegetable-and-cupcake laden approach to life (always with a bit of laughter on the side)!
