Recipe: Gladys’s Rice and Bean Stew 13 December 2007 9:07 am
Posted by Tracy in : cooking, pictures, recipes, soup, vegan, vegetarian , 5 comments“Tastes like childhood.” That’s my note next to this recipe in my handwritten spiral notebook of very favorite dishes that aren’t published in any of the cookbooks I own. A photocopy of the original recipe is held to the opposite page are a promotional Post-It note for a drug called AcipHex (rabeprazole sodium), on which my mother’s handwriting asks, “Remember Gladys’s Rice & Bean?” Of course I remember, I think to myself every time I see that note. This is the kind of comfort food I refuse to forget.
Ah, what the heck. Here’s a scan of that original recipe. I have no idea where it’s from:
If you want, you could click through to Flickr for all the information needed to make this recipe more or less exactly as I do. What follows is the Tracy version of this dish, but I’ll explain what little changes I’ve made as I go along, so look for my parenthetical comments throughout the recipe. (more…)

Recipe: Fennelicious Potato-Leek Soup 13 November 2007 7:17 am
Posted by Tracy in : recipes, soup, sundance, vegan, vegetarian , 2 commentsFirst and foremost, happy birthday Penny! I wish this recipe were more festive and delicious or at least something you could stick candles in for wish-making blowing-out purposes, but that will have to wait for some other time (like whenever you next make delicious vegan cupcakes!)

That important business aside, I don’t know if anyone noticed, but I got a shiny new Flickr Pro account to help me wrangling all the photos from my Nepal trip. I looove it, but I digress. In the process of said photo-wrangling, I rediscovered more than a few old pictures I’d forgotten all about. One of these was an old Sundance soup sign:
and coincidentally enough, I found many of the ingredients for this soup lying around in the fridge when I got home from my trip. Boo-yah! (more…)
More about miso. 28 September 2007 1:18 pm
Posted by Tracy in : GMOs, breakfast, pictures, recipes, soup, vegan, vegetarian , add a commentSo last week I sang the praises of miso soup and gave a quick and easy recipe, suitable for kludging together for breakfast, even.

Posted by Tracy in : cooking, eating, health, meat, not even vegetarian, seasonality, soup, travel , 3 commentsIn which I confess: Friday’s post was so late it went up on Saturday, I forgot the illustration for the miso soup piece, but it’s okay because I’ll use it in another post, I ate a big (for me) steak on Saturday night, and um, I’m going to Nepal next month. I promise to write about the dead cow last and give lots of warnings so everybody who hates that stuff can bail out before then and not have to read it.
Wait.. you’re going where?
Yeah, you read that right, I said Nepal, and I said next month. (more…)
