Breaking the silence
I know I've been quiet for ages. I went to Greece!
I've been eating out a lot.
I'm trying to get back on track which is a bit easier since I am participating in a CSA this year.
Last week I made Jen's orrechiette with sausage. A great way to use the spring garlic I've been getting each week. I did use tatsoi instead of Broccoli rabe -- trying to use the ingredients I had on hand.
Last night I tried Kale chips - I didn't use any vinegar but I will next time. (I just forgot..) Still they were crunchy and salty and its an interesting way to get your greens.
I still have some bok choy from last week's CSA so I may cook that tonight.

adaptation nation
sorry for the silence, I had to take a brief trip for work in which I ate dinner and slept in another city. Unfortunately the dinner was unremarkable but the sleeping (king bed at an embassy suites) was rather nice.
Before I left made a chicken noodle soup to help heal my friends of their stuffy heads and also attempted to make some homemade naan bread to appease my recent frequent craving for Indian food. At my neighborhood Indian restaurant last Friday I had the most delicious Vegetable Korma and I spent a bit of time searching for a recipe that seemed like it might approximate it. I did find one but due to my travels I have not had a chance to attempt the recipe yet.
Chicken soup -
I used a Deb's chicken stock recipe and a mishmash of Adam and Elise's chicken soup recipes. I used chicken wings for the stock and then shredded some of the meat off the bone for the soup. I also couldn't resist dropping in a few egg noodles although i was careful not to overdo it so it didn't turn into noodle risotto.
for the Naan I used this recipe which tastes delicious. However, I think I need to work on my rolling and cooking technique. Also, if you make this keep the dough balls covered with a damp cloth -- i uncovered mine and before i finished rolling and cooking them all the dough started drying out.
