Foodie Resolutions: No-Knead Bread

At the beginning of the year when I was thinking about New Year’s Resolutions, I made a list of “Foodie Resolutions.” Included in my resolutions was a list of must-make recipes that I had been meaning to try and for some reason or another had never gotten around to.At the top of the list was […]

Red Kidney Bean Curry and Fragrant Basmati Rice

Mr. Fuji and I love Indian food. Indian was one of the things I craved with both of my pregnancies, and I was lucky enough never to have problems with heartburn, so I could eat it nice and spicy like I prefer it. In fact, the last meal I ate when I was in labor […]

Cassoulet and Crash Hot Sweet Potatoes

I recently read a post by Mark Bittman on his blog Bitten about a meal he made for a fundraiser that had me salivating.

Tossed Salad

Today’s post is a bit of a “tossed salad,” so bear with me! This past Friday was my birthday (thank you to all of you who left birthday wishes–it made my day!), and it was a great day. When I married Mr. Fuji it became a tradition for him to take me out for sushi […]

Bun in the oven

I apologize that things have been sparse here on LFM. I’ve been restricted by my doctor on what I can do while I work on my all-important baking project. As you can see things are rising nicely.This past Friday we took a quick peak into the oven to make sure things were baking as they […]

Happy Moo Year!

As we say goodbye to the year of the rat and usher in the year of the ox, I hope you don’t mind if I reflect back on 2008 and then wax a bit philosophical about 2009. 20082008 was a big year for the Fuji family. I could say much, but to keep it simple […]
