Maybe this will be cool Photo by Mary MacIntyre


Let me show all the ways, it’ll take so many days. Creating special dishes for many different categories may just take me years! In upcoming posts, I will include recipes,books, videos to let this blog be both inspirational and a celebration of the abundance life offers every day in our life.

Don’t worry about expense or complicated gourmet techniques. I have fed four people on $5 a week in the 70’s and fed 50 people on $25 in the 80’s (art openings). I can help Mom’s (and Dad’s) create super fast meals. Yes if you want a banquet and not a super potluck: I could spend lots of your money for detailed instructions on a feast. There’s a place for you here, and I invite you to come often. Also I love contributions of ideas, and your fav meals and recipes.

I prefer late breakfasts myself. If fact I recently did a test from a Tibetan aruvedic book, and for me, late breakfast is actually good. Like this video, let me know. Tweet me on Twitter.com, I am Makkinart there.

When you use black beans, be sure to get black turtle beans so that you are not purchasing black soy beans. Want to get a little crazy? Have a salad or fruit salad for breakfast. Cut carrots and other veggies the night before, use mixed spring or herbal greens, throw it together add some protein or dressing. Enjoy!

Ok, so much for the introduction. See you tomorrow or before then.
Mary

A New Cook in the Kitchen!

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

cooking at Thomas Fogarty WineryHello, to those of you who like to cook and those of you who like to eat. (I definitely fall into both categories.) And even though I write two wine blogs, one on this network and a newer one on another, food always creeps into my posts. Besides, I should have lots to write about, as I cook almost every evening I’m home, even if it’s just a little quick something.

What are my credentials? Well, I grew up in the south, where food is very much a part of the culture. (Have you ever seen so many all-you-can-eat specials as in the south?) My mom and grandmother are both very good cooks. Plus, that side of my family is Italian. Even though I didn’t really start cooking until I was in college, I’ve had lots of practice since then. My tasters and dining companions usually seem pretty happy. People usually go back for seconds or thirds. And I once had a neighbor who, when I made chicken and dumplings, couldn’t stop moaning the entire time she ate…from happiness, not from pain

The only problem is that I hardly ever follow recipes. I either make things up, try to recreate dishes from restaurants, or combine 2 or more recipes to get the result I want. That’s all dandy, except I don’t write things down, and I get my mom and Nana’s bad memories as well as their cooking skills. So, I’m hoping this blog will force me to keep track of my culinary creations.

Cause it’s all about good eats.
