      Thanks for stopping by. I saw your inspiration (pasta at the West Side Market) and I can never go without bringing home several “birds nests” of angel hair. I am amazed that they only need 45 seconds in the water to be done! Yum!

    Having spent a few years back of house, and most of my adult life front of house, I have to say that I have a slight prejudice against chefs. No one knows how to better insult a waiter than a cook. That said, you’re probably more talented than I am.

      A good number of the low carb recipes in the Recipes: Diet tab here on the blog would be appropriate for a diabetic. For picky eaters, I really try to start with the familiar and try to work in one substitution or added ingredient. That way it is only one new item surrounded by comforting items. Eventually once they are used to the new item, add another. It is a great way to grow the palate.

    Glad you liked my recipe. While I mainly post other “stuff”, I plan to post food at least once a week. I love to cook somewhat unusual combinations. When I rant–which is perhaps too often–it usually is not about food. I am particularly interested in good vegetarian recipes since I have veggie friends I cook for so I just invent for them.

    Thanks for following! and i know on my blog posts i have some meat items even though i told you im vegetarian ( im actually pescetarian), it im blogging for an inclass project and i need to have certain number of blogs by the end of semester so i usually take my friend with me and he orders the meat dishes and he tells me his experience so that i can get more blogs covered. yes my meat blogs are not from me, but i will definitely change my blog around at the end of the semester to give my OWN REAL honest opinions =).. but SHHH! dont tell =p

    You didn’t miss much yesterday at the market as far as weather went. It was COLD!!! Even had a few bits of snow. However, we debuted the latest flavor of Mackenzie chevre, wasabi sesame, and it was a bit hit. I still like the Baby Buche best, though. We won’t be there next week and the following week, I’ll still be gone, but Rob will be there. So plan on the 19th. :-)

If you have any recipes for my “primal diet” using coconut and almond flour, and new recipes for chicken or fish, I hope you’ll be posting them here. I’ll be following. My cousin’s husband has been an amateur chef for years, and when he retired last year he went to a local community college and took culinary arts. Now he gets to work in the kitchen a the local university, and maybe some other professional kitchens. I think he’ll like this site so I’ll pass it on.

    Hi Pat,

    I found your blog today thru WordPress, I’m from SlimKicker (a healthy living/fitness app), and was wondering if we can do a giveaway for your blog readers?

    Our site basically turns people’s health/fitness goals into a level up game with challenges such as quitting soda for a week. We’re looking for new challenge ideas, so was thinking of holding a contest where your readers leave a comment on a health challenge idea, and we’ll pick our favorite challenge idea, use it on our site, and give the winner either a free digital health scale, slow cooker, or digital heart monitor.

    Let me know if you’re interested by email: sue (at) slimkicker.com

    PS. You can choose not to publish this comment since it’s not really a comment, I just couldn’t find your email address =)

    Best,

    I will definitely try some of your recipes. Check out my Vegetarian Pizza on my blog mrcrilleysclassroom.wordpress.com. If you are not a vegetarian, just put some sausage, pepperoni, or steak on it, or all of them. My specialty is pies. Check in on Friday and I will have my compass pie. It is a pretty basic blueberry pie, it will just look like a compass. It is for our monthly Search and Rescue meeting, hence the compass.

    Great blog, liked the post about the old wok. I can’t wait to go back to my hometown (Tampico, Mexico) to pick up my great grand mother’s old mortar (Molcajete) and put it to good use. Don’t know if you are fan of pork crackling (common snack in Mexico), but I made a discovery yesterday at a friend’s wedding: pork crackling creamy soup, true story. Cheers!

    Thanks

    She came downstairs one night,

    Not only do I enjoy eating … actually enjoy time in the kitchen as well … but I’m just a cook, thus seldom venture outside of a recipe … but I’m not timid about trying a new recipe! … and thanks for stopping by my little corner of the world.

    I use recipes as guidelines. I’ve got a great deal on some beef the other day so I’ve got stew in the crock pot, and chili on the stove. Already froze various meat balls, burgers, a mini meat loaf and portioned stir fry.

    I’ve bookmarked your place, because I can always use help in the kitchen.

    Dear WordPress Follower,

    Thanks for recently liking one of my posts on SharingMom.com. I just wanted to let you know that in the near future, I will not be showing up on your WordPress Reader Feed or on Freshly Pressed. I would like to add plug-ins to my blog to make the site more user friendly and in order to do that WordPress requires that I host the blog elsewhere. The bummer is that once I change hosts I will no longer show up on your WordPress feeds.

    Since I have written articles and posted recipes that you have liked, I would be honored to have you subscribe to the blog so I don’t lose touch with you once I make the change. That way you won’t miss the great info and recipes that are scheduled to post in the coming weeks.

    I am also working on a free e-book with 10 gluten-free, dairy-free snacks and desserts. When it is ready to go live, I will post it on the site. As a subscriber, you’ll be the first to know!

    Thanks for joining me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

    I enjoyed so much your “about” page. This is because your experience is so close to mine. I live close to Milan, Italy and I have a dream not so easy to come true. I work outside a kitchen but I spend most of my sparetime in it.

    So thanks once again.
