For memory’s sake alone, I want to record here – over a year late – my menu for Christmas Eve 2015. My bathroom sink broke in December 2014, so that year we went out to dinner, but in 2015 my parents and siblings came to visit us. It was bittersweet as my sister Gabriela had […]

2012 Christmas Eve Dinner
Posted in Dinner, tagged Christmas on January 2, 2013 | Leave a Comment »
Every year since my kids were born (except for 2005, when we visited Argentina) I have made an elaborate, multi-course Christmas Eve dinner. I start the menu planning by deciding what meat I will feature as my main dish. I want something eye-catching that I wouldn’t normally cook. Trouble is, after so many Christmas Eves, […]
Roast Chicken with Lemon and Thyme
Posted in Dinner, Methods on May 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I made this epicurious.com recipe for Roast Chicken with Lemon and Thyme last night. It produced an amazingly juicy chicken that Mika couldn’t get enough of. I think it was even juicier than the rotisserie chicken I make, BUT it was quite lacking in the flavor department. The sauce that came with it was just […]
Red Snapper with Lemon Oregano Butter
Posted in Dinner on May 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Today I made Red Snapper with Lemon Oregano Butter for dinner – an epicurious.com recipe, of course 🙂 It was quite good. Camila liked the fish, even without the yummy butter, though Mika refused to try it (she is convinced she doesn’t like fish). Mike and I and the cats liked it 🙂 Best of […]
Basque chicken
Posted in Dinner on May 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Last night I made Hirigoyen’s Basque chicken, a dish I hadn’t made in several years. I can kick myself asking why not. It was absolutely delicious – even better today, when I had the leftovers. It’s amazing to me, once again, what the French/Basques can do with such few ingredients. Most importantly, the kids (reluctant […]
Sumac Skirt Steak with Pomegranate Reduction
Posted in Dinner on October 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Last night I made Sumac Skirt Steak with Pomegranate Reduction from an epicurious.com recipe. It was a fairly quick recipe to make, but I wasn’t thrilled with it. I did overcook the pomegranate juice somewhat, but my biggest problem is that the flavors of the spice rub and sauce hid those of the meat. Mike […]
Glaced Lamb Chops
Posted in Dinner on April 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I made lamb chops from this epicurious.com recipe last night for the adults, given the lamb chops were on sale at Lucky’s for 50% off. I followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of using unfiltered apple /juice/ rather than /cider/ – because I could either get filtered cider or unfiltered juice. The results were […]
Grilled Steak Kebabs with Orange and Hoisin Glaze
Posted in Dinner on February 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I made this tonight, from an epicurious.com recipe. I used tri-tip steak instead of tenderloin ($3 lb vs. $11lb at Safeway), and the steak came out very nice, tender enough and tasty. That said, I’ll probably not make this recipe again (unless I have some hoisin sauce I need to get rid of), because while […]
Stir fry
Posted in Dinner on February 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Last night I made my first stir fry. Ever. Really. I had meant to try one before, I had bought the sauces, but for whatever reason I never got to do it. Then a few days ago I found the jars of stir-fry sauce I’d bought at the supermarket (probably over a year ago, they […]
