Carnivore Moment - “Top Shelf” Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Garlic





Roasted Chicken is one of my specialties and is a carnivore indulgence that I take very seriously. Only the finest birds cross the threshold of my oven. Of all meats, chicken is one that you should be most discerning with and it is worth the extra money. I insist on a chicken that is, free range, organic, antibiotic free, steroid free and air chilled. I like to refer to them as “top shelf” chickens. Whole Food meat counter or a local farmer are the most reliable sources for a top shelf chicken. I verify with the butcher that it is best chicken they have almost reenacting Portlandia. “Did the chicken have many friends?”

Pumpkin Carrot Soup - a winter dinner


My sister’s Christmas card this year included a recipe for Hot Toddies. Sean and I always love a good cocktail so Hot Toddies it was for cocktail hour. It also inspired a warm winter dinner. The refrigerator is almost completely empty after Thanksgiving and not quite time to buy for Christmas yet. This soup is a product of what was in the house and the desire for something warm.


It is rare that we get rainy days in Hawaii where it is pouring all day and the temperature stays in the low 70s. Today was one of those days. Living in Hawaii makes you appreciate rainy days in a new way. When the sun is shining it’s hard to stay inside and clean, cook or organize your gadget drawer. (I know we’ve got it so hard don’t we...)

Roasted Vegetable Couscous and the Singapore Wet Market



It was my second trip to exotic Singapore that I discovered a new market. When my dear friend Emily asked if I wanted to go the “Wet Market,” I envisioned tanks full of fish and creatures from the sea but it was so much more.
