Yes, and there is in fact rice under the tofu.

I was an eggplant hater as a kid, but I have come around.

Two old friends, mapo tofu (with mushroom subbing in for pork), and hot & sour eggplant. Ideal for the gal who loves her mise en place. Also reveling in my best cilantro year ever after a great many mediocre cilantro years and some downright miserable cilantro years. November cilantro FTW!

The last time I (inexplicably) got nostalgic for Chef Boyardee cheese ravioli (and it was a very long time ago), I was astonished by how snot-like the pasta was.

It's the plural of Bronk.

I went to the Union Square Greenmarket. Life is good. Rice bowl with bok choy, broccolini, oyster mushrooms and tuna.

Challenge! Make dinner from not much. Leftover mac&cheese, some more of that giant cauliflower you bought at the Belleayre Mountain Fall Fest (many) weeks ago.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat this again. But it was not terrible. (Secret ingredient: salt)

Ocky? Has that come up?

The balcony garden is winding down, so I took in all the viable sorrel and chard (of which there was not a whole helluva lot) and made it into a sauce for this nice piece of monkfish.

And drug these Turkish-style braised green beans outta the freezer and threw some mint on them.

Charred cauliflower with olives, capers, anchovies and shrimp. Parsley’s winding down on the balcony - this might be almost the last of it.
