On Food in Spain...Pineapple Carpaccio and Galatian Octopus
Those of you who know me, know that I am married to a man who wanders the globe. When Joel is gone we do our best to stay in touch via phone messages, text messaging, email, online chatting and of course...photo sharing. If he is traveling within the US we will even watch a show on Hulu together.One of my favorite things about his travels are all of the food pictures he sends me. As he is in Spain this week, they have been particularly fun.

Top Chef Night: Arctic Char with Salsa Verde of Turnips
A friend of mine loves Top Chef and has invited me to join her in the weekly ritual of watching people cook on tv. I have joined a couple of times...and while I can't say I am adicted, it is a lot of fun to see the creativity expressed by some of these cooks/chefs. I for one am disappointed that the show seems to be more about the end product and less about the process. So, I decided to recreate one of the winning meals for my friends, to see

Shiso Ume aka Japanese Plum Paste
Last night, against all better judgment, I had a few of Joel's co-workers over for sushi. Two were in town from California and one is married to an amazing Japanese cook. Needless to say, one of our distinguished guests far trumped my knowledge of sushi in the kitchen. Had I remembered this when I originally planned the mneu, I would undoubtedly have cooked Italian or French or Ethiopian or Thai or...Anyway, most of the sushi turned out wel

The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry
