Oh sweet relaxation.
Last night Billy and I went to our friend Chris and Jen’s house.
They have a sweet back yard that they are trying to inoculate with toxin eating mushrooms so that next year they can have a veggie garden!
After a bit of hanging out we decided to all make dinner together.
We decided on Eggplant Parmesean, made entirely by Chris!
It has been so long since I’ve seen a boy cook dinner from start to finish!
It was glorious.
It was simple, and oh so sweet.
It should happen more often.
The Story of Miz Emily
Told by VBar
Miz Emily, crow extraordinaire, hails originally from Connecticut and moved to Boston for college in 2004. She and Vbar met their first semester freshman year at Northeastern University and bonded immediately over their love of fresh food, the middle east and the likelihood that they will never get decently paying jobs. In the proceeding years, Emily lived first in the Mission Hill area of Boston before moving out to Jamaica Plain to roost. In the summer of 2008 Emily migrated west to San Francisco she still lives with her man Billy. Emily loves global travel and has spent time backpacking around Europe as well as in Turkey and Brazil.
Emily’s cooking style can be described as clean, natural and adventurous. Never one to back down from a challenge, can-not-do is not a phrase in her pantry. A master of substitutions, she rarely follows a recipe exactly, often with deliciously innovative results. Always one to be inspired by her surroundings, she enjoys shopping for new and inexpensive ingredients in farmers markets and ethnocentric neighborhoods, in particular Chinatown. Emily’s meals are strongly tied to the seasons particularly since she is lucky enough to have access to fresh California produce. Emily’s strong caw and yummy mowables make her a truly upstanding west-coast representative for the Crows.
