Where to begin? The 34 boxes Gary sent from San Jose have arrived. I can’t wait to discover all the treasures inside. I make a pot of Maté and start opening boxes, sorting the packaging materials to save and reuse. First Meal: It’s time to stop and eat. It’s only the afternoon. I finsih…
First Meal: Big day today. I am scheduled to receive the 34 boxes Gary had shipped from his parents’ home filled with his mom’s treasures. It’s going to be Christmas for a long time, opening each box. I reheated the remaining cooked Polenta, adding in more water to make it creamy. I topped it with…
First Meal: Organic Mandarin Oranges are a refreshing bit of juicy sunshine. I had one with my morning Maté. I had to move quickly, no time for sitting and eating. I was delivering three sets of dishes to my friend Janet. Service for Thirtysix! I used to use them here in the house for vegan…
First Meal: I have a dear friend Josée whom I met when I lived in Aix-en-Provence, France. Her friends, Mehmouna and Guy were visiting New York. Josée wanted me to meet them. Mehmouna asked for a tour of Queens and today was the day. I wasn’t sure when we were going to start. I was…

This grapefruit looked so good I thought I might each both halves. I was wrong! With my organic Rolled Oats topped with…
First Meal: Buckwheat with Walnuts and Onions makes a great breakfast. It’s hearty and nutty. Second Meal: This is a gorgeous and easy to put together soup, made with cooked Garbanzo Beans, a jar of strained Tomatoes, Onions and tender leaves of Kale. I leave the Pears on the counter to ripen. I…
First Meal: This morning I was meeting my neighbor Marcia and we were going to visit our 92-year-old neighbor who fell and is now in the hospital. There were so many things I wanted to get done before we left. I grabbed the one remaining Baked Red Lentil “Salmon” Cakes just before leaving. We…
First Meal: When I visited my 92-year-old neighbor in the hospital a couple of days ago she was eating salmon with mashed potatoes and squash. The salmon was the same color as the red lentils I had just cooked. I made a mental note to make a salmon-like recipe with them. I did it today,…
