La Fuji Mama’s Papa’s Delicious Cornish Game Hens

La Fuji Mama asked me to guest blog for her and I had a wonderful rabbit recipe I was going to use. However, the store I usually purchase rabbit from was out (perhaps because of the recent death of John Updike?), and Cornish game hens were sitting where the rabbit should have been. So having […]

Come-to-the-Rescue Chicken Soup

Hello LFM readers! Thank you so much for all of your kind comments! Little Fuji is doing well and I am recovering nicely. However, I’m not quite ready to take back the reins here and so you have the opportunity to hear from a few more of my favorite people in the meantime while I […]

Cousin Jack Pasties

I’ve been meaning to make a certain recipe out of the little cookbook of all her recipes that Nate’s Grandma Ellie gave me when we got married and just have never gotten around to it–a recipe called Cousin Jack Pasties. I fell in love with Cornish Pasties,a savory pastry filled with meat and vegetables, when […]

Comfort Chicken, Orzo, and Ginger Soup

I’m achy and tired and am not sleeping well . . . no, I’m not sick, just pregnant! In a visit to my doc last week she informed me that my belly has grown abnormally large (no wonder I’m so achy and tired)! Aaaah, the joys of pregnancy. Although it is currently pregnancy that ails […]

Baked Stuffed Squash

Slow Cooker Asian Short Ribs–A Story About One Amazing Mom

I share a love of good food and cooking with my family. Though it may sound funny, food has enriched my life and given me (and continues to give me) many great memories. In my last post I told you about my dad’s creative cooking skills. I’ve also mentioned our mutual love for trying weird/unusual […]

Slow Cooker Nikujaga (Japanese Stewed Beef and Potatoes)

I love being able to throw a bunch of ingredients in a slow cooker, forget about them, and then have dinner “magically” appear in the pot at dinner time.
