I love food & music
Bienvenidos
Cookbooks are getting to be a staple holiday gift. Now our collection includes Diana Kennedy’s culinary guide to Mexico. First stop: enchiladas de Jalisco.
Our ears revisited an old favorite, Gang of Four. We also met Idles.

Everything Mozambique
Apologies for the Dutch angle on the photo here, but it was tough to capture all the things we made: berry punch, greens in coconut milk, xima (aka nshima, ugali, etc.), roast bird, and 2 kinds of piri-piri sauce. Isis (the band) kept us company.

Seriously, you guys
This spicy mushroom lasagna from Ottolenghi was so good I almost forgot what we were listening to.
Which would be a shame, because it was Harry Nilsson.

The only thing I remember is how delicious this was
There was wild asparagus at the market, and we served it with some simple French country food.

Salmon + bad action
Every year we celebrate my brother’s birthday with his most favorite of fishes: the salmon. We also watch terrible 80s action films.

Just look at those colors
It’s a good thing we found this red cabbage slaw recipe. We get a lot of red cabbage.

Welcome home, onggi!

Georgian holidays
COVID round 2 scuppered plans to see family. So we cooked instead. Culinary destination: Georgia (country not state).

We made our own tamales!
And many, many other things.
I won’t tell you how long it took to make this meal.
