a virgin who can't drive also a local tomato
Spring onion & potato soup with roasted oyster mushrooms. Nothin’ not to like about this. (Finally got rid of all those onions 😂). 🍽️🌱🍄🧅
Sichuan potatoes, ling cod on sorrel, okra with ginger and soy. All the cuisines! Whoo! #cookingsky 🍽️🌱🥔🌶️🐟
Most ominous song lyric: Down in the basement, we hear the sound of machines. #musicsky #talkingheads
Riotously colorful salad, with some squash blossoms and a mess of other stuff. 🍽️🌱🥬🍅🍤🥑🌹🧅🥒 #cooking #cookingsky #homecooking
This was not the entire dinner. But it was the most photogenic part. Grilled corn with tarragon butter. 🍽️🌽
Monkfish with dill mustard cream sauce, potatoes with smoked paprika, oregano and rosemary. Making that balcony garden work for me! 🍽️🌱🐟🥔 #cooking #cookingsky #homecooking
Why yes, I am unemployed, why do you ask? Or! Or! I am now free to make one-woman buffets for a couple of months. 🍽️🌱🌿🥔🍤🐟🧀🥚 #cookingsky #foodsky #cooking #homecooking #balconygarden #urbangardening
Chilled squash soup with fried balcony sage. The most no-brainer soup ever. Well, you have to pay attention when you're frying sage, but everything else is just autopilot stuff. 🍽️🌱 #cookingsky #foodsky #cooking #homecooking #balconygarden #urbangardening #soup
Also, happy birthday and all that. Love you despite everything.
Schav with sorrel from the balcony, chopped egg & cucumber, yogurt garnish. I realize I'm posting too much. I'm unemployed 'til fall and doing a lot of cooking in order to feel like I have a job. 😂 (It kinda works.) 🌱🍽️🥔🥚 #cookingsky #homecooking #schav #gardening #gardensky
Scallop aguachile on an avocado wedge. Did I need more food after the risotto? I did not. And yet. Parsley and mint from the balcony garden. 🍽️🌱🥑🌿 #cookingsky #homecooking #aguachile
Squid ink risotto with tomato, saffron and ramp butter. Despite having a difficult time extracting the squid ink (first try with this - messy!) and the dish’s weird color, I am happy. 🍽️🦑🍅🍚 #cookingsky #homecooking #risotto
Very low on food! Scraped together some cheese, bread, celery, peanut butter, shrimp cocktail, pickles…okay, I guess I have some food. 🍽️🧀🍞🍤🥜
I used up a bottle of ketchup and a bottle of mayonnaise on the same day. 1) Play the lottery? 2) Prepare for the end times?
Happy July 1st from my balcony garden, hangin' on through the heat! #gardening #urbangardening #balconygarden 🌱🍅🌶️🌿🥬🍆
Gomae made with day lily buds, foraged from next to the driveway upstate, squid with green sauce made with herbs from the balcony downstate. Living off the lands! 🌱🍽️🦑🌹 #homecooking #cookingsky #urbangardening #foraging #balconygardening
Last year I finally got enough simultaneous Anaheims for a chiles rellenos casserole. Will lightning strike twice??? 🌱🌶️ #gardening #urbangardening #balconygarden
This show jumped the shark years ago. Can we cancel it already?
And the algae turned to him, big strong algae, with tears in its eyes, and it said thank you, thank you sir, you have given us life.
Radish greens soup with radishes. Sand shark with strawberry / cucumber / balcony mint salsa (much better than I expected!). #homecooking #cookingsky 🍽️🌱🐟🍓🥒
When life (or The Peekamoose restaurant) gives you risotto, and you can't finish it, make risotto cakes! 🍄🍚🍽️
First upstate cookout of the season! Local trout and strawberries, favas, oyster mushrooms, potato, squash and balcony lettuce trucked up from downstate that turned out to be unfortunately very bitter. Alas. #cookingsky #homecooking 🌱🍽️🎣🍄🍚🥔🥬
