Fad(dy)

I love sushi. I would absolutely move to a foreign country with it after two dates. I would allow Ryan Gosling to play sushi should a movie be made about our relationship ... That's true love.

I was fortunate to get to travel down to NYC and stay with one of my gurus/ friends for the weekend. We attended super fun workshops and ate amazingly.

To be honest, I've been inundated with how trendy ramen is becoming in the US. I heard another interview on it today- it was about schmaltz, ramen and roasted porcupine fat... Andrew Zimmerman was being interviewed. I'm not a fan of having things because they're so hot right now. I'm a fan of having things that I like... And I'm a fan of this comfort food movement. Hold the mashed potatoes for me... Maybe I'll quality control the Mac and cheese (I'm figuring out a gf version), but bring on the ramen. Worth the gluten hangover this trip.

Sooo delicious.

The in between time: end of August to mid-September

Not perfect. Some bingey-ness. Lots of stress.

Stuffing for zucchini: medium sausage, rice, garbanzos, garlic and greens with a little bells seasoning. Wicked tasty.

Tomato, cucumber and radish salad. Cukes and tomatoes from the garden.

Stuffed pepper at work. Pepper from my Aunts garden.

Breakfast of champions: super greens mix with rice protein powder and water. Oatmeal and raisins.

Cake for grandma's b-day. I had a slice and some pizza (but layed off of the chips and dip)

Three types of fermented yumminess.

Steak and cucumber melon salad.

Korean BBQ pork ribs, rice, tomato, mozz, basil and cucumbers.

My first grape harvest! First year they bore fruit and this is what I got!

Chicken, celery and onion salad. Aunt's tomatoes, mozz and basil.

Greens and onion omelette.

Steak, garden beans and garden salad with sprouts.

Some of the harvest before they became pickles and stuffed zucchini.

Cookies left over from mom & dad's anniversary party.

Breakfast in Plattsburgh post wedding of a friend... No worries, gluten free is making a come back.
