Fell in love with it when I was living in England for a semester in college.

I don’t really cook for myself – my roomies don’t really get the whole “shared fridge” thing, which makes it impossible for me to buy groceries. But I had the best lunch the other day: peanut butter and honey sandwich, and a giant Mutsu apple fresh from my dad’s friend’s family orchard.

Also, my dad will be down here in the next couple days, and I think I am going to make him take me out for Indian food. Nom nom nom.

Homemade eggplant rollatini with tofu basil spinach ricotta and a shitload of roasted garlic. What is better than eating half the eggplant slices that you salt and pan fry? MMMMMM SALT.

Oh wait — one thing that is better? Chimichurri grilled tofu, and a big ass pot of mashed potatoes with skins and tons of Eath Balance and sea salt and some red pepper chard.

Oh and then blackened polenta slices. With a soup of purple potatoes, pink beans, fennel, garlic, swiss chard and parsely!

Oh and these lentil sloppy joes and mac and cheese with peas. And a bottle of really awesome Chilean cabernet.

I had taboule salad and hummus every single day I was there. When I got back, I ran off to the grocery store and bought some great produce and this is what I had for lunch yesterday:

Crispy romaine lettuce, with a spread of garlic hummus, topped with diced tomatoes and spring onions and shaved smoked turkey breast. It was originally going to be a wrap (with provolone cheese!) but I left my tortillas at home. Necessity was the mother of invention – those romaine leaves helped me make a hell of an awesome open-faced sandwich.

This made me laugh very hard because I’m 12.

Hee! I think we need to rechristen FJ’s fake muffaletta sammie “The Merkin.”

Ummmm. With oven roasted seasonal veggies and a nice glass of Hogue Rheisling.

Trader joe’s chocolate covered ginger. I dont’ share, to the husband’s dismay.

My friend Sherry’s easy as anything bisquik brownes. Yes, bisquik, and butter and sweetened condensed milk and an egg and a bit of vanilla. And about 2 cups of chocolate chips melted down and stirred in. I’ve had county fair blue winning bakers corner me and beg for that recipe.

The soft ginger molasses cookies I learned to make from the Mennonite mother of a school friend many years ago. Actual conversation:

Me: Hub, if your mother would promise to keep making these cookies for us I would marry you!

Hub: If my mother would promise to keep making these cookies for me I wouldn’t need to get married!
