Snow Day Soup

New Year, New Health

Picture (Un)Perfect

Sourdough Saurkraut

only a chef knows
the secret to sauerkraut
(it’s jalapeños)

Soggy yet Tasty

a working-mom quiche
with a Tuesday homemade crust
can almost save me

Bullinada Bullying

a Catalán stew
to stave off COVID hauntings
and win Tuesday night

Versions of Home

summer camp is done.
art, yoga, cycling, love.
and home stretch? cooking.
these so-rare smiles
pouring milk for tortillas
like happy siblings
did you say siblings?
how about our matching twins
with perfect spring rolls?
don’t forget sushi 
made with Chinese expertise
to brighten their eyes
and fufu for all
stirred by girls from two cultures
finding friends at home
these mandazi men
so proud of their puffed product
all the way from home
taco influence
on the next generation
sharing her home’s heart
this sweet quesillo
comes from home with a sweet tale
(we’ve hit a home run)

So Fresh

summer garden joys:
second of many salads
grown and cut by me

The Day After

reality sits
between aspen dream ski runs
and running a house

Indonesian Twist

nasi goreng rice:
a Thursday accomplishment
i celebrate now
