Mid-martini, looking up at my neighbors' window and watching them light their menorah. Mood: serene.

Any reel that prompts me to "watch 'til the end" is an immediate close and move on. I've been burned too many times.

Absolutely, positively the last tomatoes of 2025. They are taking their sweet time getting ripe, so I’m hoping for a New Year’s Day salad.

Pan-fried haddock, lemon-braised potatoes, Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. Could be wedding food!

Squid with pickled mustard greens. I like this less than I used to, but I still like it alright. And soft tofu with avocado under some ponzu-esque sauce.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting on NBC is rated PG for dialogue. Is it because people keep saying “Happy Holidays”? And that’s offensive to idiots? I am somewhat mystified. 🎄

Soft tofu with mustard greens, egg, watermelon radish, shrimp and shiitakes. Plus leftover sauce from my recent trip to Xi’an Famous Foods. And balcony cilantro, go figure!

Haddock over roasted brussels sprouts and mushrooms, with a sage rosemary beurre blanc.

Cauliflower leaf and potato curry. Low on food! Need to shop! This was pretty good, though!

Laszlo is taking a post-vet visit recovery day. He got a clean bill of health and did not need to be sedated. Yay.

Soondubu jjigae. Slightly unorthodox ‘cause the tofu is not soft (also, cilantro). But it’s soft enough!

Don’t worry, I mixed the egg in, and it cooked. No one dies of salmonella on my watch, least of all me.

Beans & greens & egg. It’s likely to freeze tonight, so I took in the last of the balcony chard, sorrel and kale. And probably the last of the parsley as well, but it might be immortal.

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!

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)
