My pregnancy, and the dietary restrictions it–not to mention gestational diabetes–comes with, continues. Our CSA has been a boon for our dinner table, though. It is nice to get to enjoy so many salads on these muggy days. We haven’t been getting too creative with the veggies, preferring to keep it simple and delicious. Besides salads, we have been doing mostly simple sautees and stir-frys (fries?). I did make a surprisingly killer old-school cole slaw with a small head of CSA green cabbage (cabbage, mayo, white balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper. The key is to extremely finely shred the cabbage–I used my new v-slicer/mandoline!)
You are killing me, Food Mayhem! Killing me! Look at her review of Sweet Revenge in the West Village. I must have their namesake cupcake which involves peanut butter and more peanut butter. Come mid-September, this will be mine… [photo via Food Mayhem]
One of the things I love about Mark Bittman, is that he is one of the few very respected experts in the culinary world that doesn’t abhor, and actually almost seems to embrace, vegetarianism. Witness the vegetarian version of his book, How to Cook Everything. There is weekly evidence found in his blog, too. Just keep an eye on it. This week he made a, well, interesting recipe. It is a hot-breakfast concoction of bulgar, coconut, and tofu. Oh, and fish sauce (he admits this is not vegetarian). Strange, yes, but say you aren’t intrigued!
I love the idea of the tiresome-mango-salsa-alternative cantaloupe salsa over at Smitten Kitchen. (Another post-pregnancy must-try is her sour cherry slab pie–hand held goodness!)
Constantly on the search for decent Mexican food in NYC (I have not yet found one I love. Why can’t anyone make proper refried beans?), the review of Rachel’s Taqueria in Park Slope by Eat It: Brooklyn caught my eye. I get the sense that the food is good, but not outrageously delicious. But if only just to catch a glimpse of the awesome “Mayan” mural, the place looks worth a visit.
