Baltimore Food Examiner: Short Order Cook = ME

Short Order Cook = ME

I haven’t been able to come up with anything particularly engaging on the topic of food for almost ten days now. It isn’t that I am bored with food—far from it. After all, it is one of the last sensual pleasures left for us humans (according to pal Jerry Lim) that won’t kill us, assuming you’re not eating razor blades or ice cream every day.

It could have something to do with the drudgery of being a short order cook. Day in, day out, I’m preparing miniature delicacies to a sometimes appreciative and other times, utterly unforgiving audience.

Anyhoo, I figured I’d better write something soon or get my walking papers from the Examiner, so here goes:

The girls’ menu for Saturday, June 21, 2008.

Breakfast:

Apple juice and water
Apple sauce
Soy yogurt
Graham crackers
Scrambled eggs
Banana

Before Nap Lunch:

Hummus and tortilla chips
Soy milk
Veggie chips
Fresh pear
Soy yogurt
Apple sauce

After Nap Snack:

Avocado
Veggie chips
Juice (undetermined)
Cookies
Crackers

Dinner:

Some kind of chicken, probably with ketchup
Left over pasta from last night’s dinner
Hummus
Maybe soy yogurt, though they’ve eaten their weight in yogurt today

The after nap snack and dinner haven’t happened yet, but this is a good idea of what’s involved in feeding 22 month-old human females. Their stomachs are bottomless pits, but when their little tummies are full, they are delightful in every way (except for the occasional hair pulling and biting incidents).

This post will be short and sweet. Very sweet. It is more a reminder to myself than anything. Because yesterday at a morning gathering of friends with tots, I forgot that I had any sense and allowed my almost two-year-olds to consume copious amounts... Read More

Sheesh -- It's been a while since I had a minute to post thoughts on food! Time has a way of sneaking by when you're not looking. There's been a lot of action in my little world. Much of which has had to do with food. Maybe I need to sit down for a hot... Read More

Gayle and Alexander, friends of my daughters and me, went blueberry picking last week near the Maryland/Pennsylvania border and brought us about 2.5 cups of fresh blueberries. Who knew they were still in season? Not me! I guess there are lots of them... Read More

Didn't make it to the farmer's market this past weekend, so I'm lamenting the lack of seasonal tomatoes in my house. My husband's pop in North Carolina has a little farmer's market in his own back yard, aka his bitchin' garden. Two weekends ago my mother-in-law... Read More
