I know, I haven't been around much lately. I have been cooking a lot, but not necessarily blogging about it. But here I am, on a Friday, and I'm talking about something I cooked. Which means...French Fridays With Dorie time! This week is a simple and delicious Basque Potato Tortilla. My friend MaryAnn spent a year living in Cadiz, Spain, and she raved about the tortillas she had there. So

This week's selection is a celebration of creamy, rich dairy. Dorie likens this dish to mac and cheese: hearty comfort food. Don't be fooled by the word "gnocchi" in the title; these little dumplings are made of cream puff dough. I couldn't wrap my head around pate a choux as pasta--I think of it more as pastry. It is the dough used for eclairs, cream puffs, and delicious gougeres. In

We start the year off with Dorie's Paris Mushroom Soup. It is a good soup, and a basic soup of chicken broth, onions, a little rosemary and a ton of mushrooms. It gets pureed after cooking and served over some thinly sliced raw mushrooms with a little green onion, chive, and parsley. Dorie suggests topping the soup with a little creme fraiche, but I used what I had on hand: full fat plain

I'm down here in the Bay Area for the holidays, and we had a little pre-Christmas celebration Sunday morning. My sister and her family are spending Christmas with her in-laws in Florida this year, so we exchanged our gifts and stockings with them early. There we were, still in our PJs, wrapping paper in tatters, the nephew more excited about the box than the gift (isn't that how it always is

Last night Cookie and I were at the local ice rink, inside of a shopping mall, after hours with ten other people. We all had funny black grippers over our shoes and were clutching brooms. The chatty gentlemen standing at the head of our semi circle were talking about safety on the ice, how to get yourself in the hack, and how to glide off down the ice pushing a big granite rock. Yes my

I don't think I've ever had proper Speculoos, or Speculaas, or Belgian/Dutch Spice Cookies. I've made them before but since I have no idea how they are supposed to taste I don't know if what I've made is a good Speculoos. But at any rate, I enjoy them but I think I like a spicy Swedish gingersnap better. I also have discovered that when I bake cookies, which isn't very often, I like

I love a good potato-leek soup, in fact my mom served one as a first course to our Thanksgiving meal last Thursday. Mom uses almost equal amounts of potatoes and leeks, where Dorie's recipe is 3:1 in favor of leeks. So I was curious how this soup would turn out. This soup was really easy and pretty quick to put together, which seems to be the recurring theme with Dorie's dishes. Maybe it

This month's French Fridays with Dorie selections have all been quick and easy to prepare, and in most cases delicious. It is always wonderful to have such memorable food in the arsenal for weeknight dinners, or when having over friends. This week's selection, the Caramel Topped Semolina Cake, was no exception. When I hear semolina I think about pasta, but in this case the cake is made from

And so, French Fridays with Dorie continues with the free-ish month, where we can choose to post in any order the four recipes chosen this month. This week I chose the Pumpkin-Gorgonzola Flans. I used to be afraid of moldy cheese, of which gorgonzola is one, but now I love it. To confess most of the time I buy Rogue Creamery's Oregonzola which is a bit milder than other gorgonzolas out there

Can you guys feel it?  It is almost here, and thus it is almost over.  The world of pop culture is buzzing madly as if struck by lightning. Harry Potter time! I am almost envious of the kids who grew up with the Harry Potter books and movies.  I didn't read the first book until right before the first movie was released in the fall of 2001 (I was 27, and just graduated from acupuncture school).

There is nothing not good about this chicken, from the simplicity of the recipe to the head of roasted garlic, the juicy chicken and of course THE BREAD. I wish I had got a photo of the bread but the light was bad and in any case I was too busy eating it. I felt like my cat Violet when she steals a bone from the counter and joyfully sneaks off to chew on her treasure. I pried my bread from

This month, the French Fridays with Dorie group is a little more free-flowing than usual. Because of Thanksgiving, we can post any one of four dishes each Friday of the month. That's pretty cool, but it did make it hard to decide what to cook and post first. I decided to go with the delicious potato gratin, which is a casserole of thinly sliced potatoes baked in heavy cream and garlic, and

Marie-Helene's Apple Cake is a cake which is as delicious as it is easy, which makes it a winner in every sense. Brimming with apples, buttery and custardy, not too sweet and perfect on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream, this cake would be prefect for tea as well as after dinner. Dorie encourages using a variety of apples; I chose a honeycrisp, fuji, gala, and I think an empire.

When Cookie, my best friend and official taster, heard French Fridays with Dorie was cooking something Vietnamese, she sat up and started grilling me. She is Vietnamese, by the way. She was intrigued when I told her it was pho, which Cookie introduced to me after she and Cabbage had returned to Portland after two years in Vietnam. (There's a lot of pho restaurants in Portland.) She shrieked

Welcome to French Fridays with Dorie, an internet cook-through of Dorie Greenspan's new book, Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes From My Home to Yours.  (That is one long book title, and will probably hereafter be known on this site at AMFT.) After being a part of the bake-through for Rose's Heavenly Cakes I've learned the importance of "studying" from one book over a long period of

So, I've been thinking about bringing this blog back all summer for a few reasons... ...my travel loving friends who roosted in Portland for a few years have or will be flying off again and this is a nice way to keep in touch (kind of)... ...sometimes I want to rant about my knitting troubles or share the dumb shit my cats do... ...and I joined a cook along, French Fridays with Dorie, and

I still miss her like crazy. When I lived in San Francisco, I worked the bar in a steakhouse downtown. I quickly became buddies with all the servers (mostly men) and after the restaurant closed we would go across the street to the bar and hang out. One of the servers constantly showed up for work with bloody scratches all over his hands and I finally asked him what the heck was going on. "I got

Okay, so you know when there's a big banner of some dude, so that he's larger than life? And if his bulge is included in the big banner, do you think they enlarge the bulge at a different percentage so that it's not too big so that it won't offend little old men and women? And if that's true, do you think the person that the banner is of would notice that his bulge is underrepresented, and

So I got a new kitty the other day; her name is Violet. I went to the Oregon Humane Society and in some ways it was hard to just pick one cat, when I wanted to rescue 90% of them. (Sorry 10%, I could just tell we weren't going to get along.) In other ways, it was hard to find the right cat, as I apparently had a long list of traits I wanted my new cat friend to have.For example I wanted1.

I swear an inordinate amount; not as much as some people, but a lot. Not everybody is excited by this. So in the spirit of brotherly love I decided I'd substitute "fudge" for the F-bomb. It works most of the time. And saying things like "GET OUT OF THE WAY YOU MOTHERFUDGER" is actually more satisfying than you think.I got this idea from my sister who likes to say "what the fudge" but will

Hello blog readers,Pippin and I have been spending a lot of time together and I think he's beginning to like being the only cat; he gets attention pretty much any time he wants, which has been pretty often. However I know he would rather cuddle with another cat than me. All in good time, little Peepers!My nose and sinuses have been clogged since that first post about Spring in late March.

Yep, folks, Portland and the PNW as a whole has been experiencing snow and below freezing temperatures for a week now. Usually, we get a day or two of snow and/or ice and then everything melts away, lalala. This time, there is snow piling up and it doesn't seem interested in leaving.This kind of weather wouldn't be a problem in normal wintery places, but here we're all housebound and getting

Carlotta left me a comment that I thought would make a better post:I can't believe what I heard on the news today. Some hospitals are banning doulas because they "get in the way when split second decisions are needed." WHAT?? Is that even legal?? Have you heard of this? Carlotta, you may be referring to the Today segment on doulas that ran this morning. One of the OBs interviewed said that

I know that the Facebook craze is spreading like wildfire across the internet. People I never thought would Facebook ask me when I'm going to get a Facebook. And I always say, "Really?"I feel the tug. I am stumbling under the pressure. I want to be loved and to be a part of the crowd. I want to believe.But then I stop and think, "really?

I love fall the most. I love how the days become crisp as an apple, the trees turn a fiery shade of red, and everyone busts out the wool and knee high socks. The air hangs heavy with moisture, the vines heavy with grapes and squash, and my heart sings with happiness. Bonfires, caramel apples, hayrides and rubber boots. Muddy roads, piles of leaves clogging the drains, the smell of must and a

The list of things I need to get done or help my sister get done before her wedding in 8 days grows longer by the minute. The emails between my sister, my dad, and me are flying fast and furious over the magical lines. The forwards of such emails to the stooges (who are also coming to the wedding) (thank god) are almost as numerous, usually with side commentary from me that says: "please help

Two weekends ago I suddenly realised that I had precious little time left to go camping before I go back on call. See, I leave a week early for my sister's wedding, which means I leave in three weeks. Camping spots on the Oregon coast can be hard to find during the summer months; most people start reserving their spots 3 months ahead of time. So in order to find a spot so late in the game, I

So the house remained unscathed.The shindig was to celebrate the recent nuptuals of Scarlett and Hunter Sims, who were

She does everything before me, anyway. I think the only things I did before her were: be born, walk, talk (questionable), go to college.

I have been craving a german dish called Milchreis lately. It is a specific kind of rice, that you cook for about 20 minutes in milk. You end up with a soft, starchy, rice pudding-like substance that is a little sweet, and really comforting. The family I worked for would eat it with jarred sour cherries and a little sugar, for lunch. Those were really good lunches.The thing is, the rice you

I grew up in a not-very-religious household, despite the fact that my mother is a Philippino Catholic (different than say, Italian Catholics or American Catholics). My dad is emphatically not much for religion, so Easter was really just an excuse to receive stuffed bunnies and chocolate nested in shredded pastel plastic.

This day is right up there with the 4th of July in my mind. This is when it is not safe to venture anywhere near a bar for fear of stupid drunk frat boys and stupid drunk sorority cheerleaders screaming and yelling about nothing important, groping each other and throwing up in the back alley. I think a bunch of bars downtown set up some huge tent thing so that even more drinking and yelling may

I was home over the weekend for my sister's engagement party and to help her do wedding stuff. As the Maid of Honor (MOH) and Someone Who Cooks, I got to advise her on her kitchen registry. Registering for gifts is like shopping, only other people will foot the bill. Me likey.I realised that being the MOH is a lot like being a doula. The bride, like a mom in labor, is a female going through a

I am exhausted. I am not real sure why, since I should be caught up on my sleep since the birth over the weekend. But, my exhaustion tells me otherwise. Oh well.I have started a post about the birth that I haven't the energy to finish just yet, so in the interest of posting something new, here's a quote that was quoted in the book The Four-Fold Way: Walking the Paths of the Warrior, Teacher,

A dear friend of mine recently did something that, while being a good move for him, really hurt me. And in that move of his, something between us snapped clean and won't be put together again.I know you understand; sometimes something happens and you feel within yourself something shift, and in that instant the world that was, is not now the world that is.And even though we will continue to be

So a couple of years ago my friend Brains and I found a bunch of No Meat Tube fliers all over the Hawthorne.Pretty funny, huh? It seemed like a nice ironic, sci-fi parody of the biotech companies that wanted to inject frog's DNA into tomatoes, or clone sheep for food consumption. Meat tubes...haha. That'll never happen.Today I read that the FDA is about to approve cloned meat for human

This is a very important date, boys and girls.This is day my sister made me a spinster. Or really, I guess my future brother-in-law made me a spinster, by asking for my sister's hand in marriage and that crazy girl accepted.Dammit! She always does everything first!Congratulations, Michele and Mikey! I wish you a lifetime of joy and happiness together!!

The fourth pie has the potential for greatness,

Weekend highlights: I had THE BEST FREAKIN creme brulee' in my life to date. Southpark--DO IT. Creamy, smooth, vanilla, crispy, orgasmic. It was all of these things and more. I would take a bite, and the whole damn druken bar would fade out as I rode a wave of creamy vanilla bliss. And I am only partially embellishing. It was better than Cats.

Last Wednesday I posted about birth, and all these questions I have about the couples I've worked with. And to my surprise, I got three very honest, insightful and wonderful comments from three lovely ladies. The surprise came from what was said. Each of them brought up so many points, concepts, and personal stories that I didn't know how to comment, or where to even begin. I still don't,

Remember that post about my issues with being a doula and how I wanted to save women from themselves? Well it has come to my attention that the knife cuts in both directions. These women that I work with that tell me they want a natural birth but are open to the possibility of an epidural--and almost invariably end up with an epidural--these women never truly believed in birth or themselves.

I studied with a spiritual teacher for many years and one of the things we did was totem work. Part of the totem work was discovering my key phrases, for lack of a better term. These key phrases are the things that color my life--they are the constant themes that have been with me since I was born and probably will be with me, in varying degrees of importance, until I pass from this world into

I think one of the best things that came out of my $50 Hollywood late fee extravaganza was my introduction to the BBC series Extras.I just watched the first three episodes of the second season--and they were brilliant. Gueststars included Orlando Bloom, David Bowie (DAVID BOWIE!), and Daniel Potter-Radcliffe. So funny. Sooooo funny.If you haven't yet seen an episode of Extras, the premise is

I am feeling the bellydance bug again. It has been prolly over a year since I have put on any stretch velvet and shiny beaded hip scarves and given my abdomen, hips, and ass a good workout to some soul firing rhythms handed out on a doumbek.Unfortunately, my work schedule keeps me out of bellydance classes until Saturday MORNINGS, people.

Last week, the Stooges were over at Cookie's house for an evening of cable tv, Boone's Farm "wine," and Popeye's Chicken.Awesome.Apparently it was the season finale of Hell's Kitchen AND Age of Love, so we flip-flopped between the two. I've never watched either of the shows, but understand both of their basic premises. The chef show I wasn't too interested in, but the Age of Love show did have

I don't know about 2008.I haven't had much fun being a doula these days. I did as many births in the first half of this year as I have in the 3 years before I joined my doula group.
