Where am I from. Tuesday, February 8, 2011. Food for the homesick. One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.". After all the Super Bowl excitement I am feeling rather homesick thinking it would be fun to be in Arlington, Texas right now to join the celebrations. But enough of football.lets move on to serious stuff: food! What better way to quench my rising homesickness with some good ol' American food or a proper cup of strong English tea?

expat chow: Laughing Lemon: November

http://expatchow.blogspot.com/2009/12/laughing-lemon-nov.html

Tuesday, December 22, 2009. My friends and I attended another "What's In Season" class from Laughing Lemon. In November. As always, it was extremely informative and the food delicious. Thanks Jack and Silvia! Some things I learned:. Soaking sliced brussel sprouts in water for about an hour before cooking makes them taste so much better. Anise or fennel make them taste milder and also aid digestion. Persimmon: you can simply press the soft ones through a sieve and have an instant sauce. Yum! Volume to wei...

expat chow: pretty summer soup

http://expatchow.blogspot.com/2009/08/pretty-summer-soup.html

Tuesday, August 25, 2009. Back when I lived in California, I never felt the seasons come and go and I barely noticed when items like nectarines or summer squash arrived or disappeared from the shelves. Almost everything was available all the time. But in Zurich, I'm in a constant panic, buying much more produce that our small family can possibly consume, worried that some item will suddenly disappear, not to be dreamt of for months. Curried Yellow Squash Soup with Cilantro-Lime. 2 TB olive oil. 7 When yo...

expat chow: improving on the nie nie mud cake

http://expatchow.blogspot.com/2009/10/improving-on-nie-nie-mud-cake.html

Thursday, October 29, 2009. Improving on the nie nie mud cake. My friend suggested that I make Nie Nie's Mud Cake Magnifique. And of course, I made it because I love special requests. The cake was delicious and not particularly complicated. But the recipe drove me a little crazy, what with the unusual ingredients (olive oil in a chocolate cake? And lack of explanation for instructions that veered from the cake making norm. But despite this, the cake was a big hit and I've made it three times already.

expat chow: vanilla extract: make your own

http://expatchow.blogspot.com/2008/10/vanilla-extract-make-your-own.html

Wednesday, October 15, 2008. Vanilla extract: make your own. I was excited to find a good use for this cool bottle I've had sitting in my cupboard for 10 years. I finally got around to making my own vanilla extract. I had a huge bottle of vodka left over from making ice cream and pie crust, which only require a couple tablespoons each per batch. Since I'm a teetotaler. Vanilla beans are dirt cheap here: 2.40sfr for 3 beans. Can't wait for the results. As far as vanilla sugar - OMG! I am going to buy vani...

expat chow: what's in season: june

http://expatchow.blogspot.com/2009/06/whats-in-season-june.html

Sunday, June 07, 2009. What's in season: june. I took another Laughing Lemon. Class last week (with 3 friends, yay! And got even more excited about the summer produce than I already was. Here are some highlights. I forgot to take pics of the other yummy stuff like a watermelon drink, gazpacho, and zucchini stuffed phyllo pie, but this should give you an idea of the fun we had. Thanks Jack and Sylvia! Ratatouille waiting to happen - we ate it an hour later. Baked polenta with rosemary butter, I think.

expat chow: gaufre de liege

http://expatchow.blogspot.com/2009/03/gaufre-de-liege.html

Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Every street fair I've been to in Switzerland and beyond serves up Gaufre de Liege. The dense, chewy, yeasty Belgium waffles (not the light and crispy ones), served with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and sometimes a side of ice cream. I can't resist them and am never satisfied with just one (especially when I have to share with my two boys). I saw version of this recipe with same yeast with only 1 cup? Thanks Megan for letting me use your waffle iron! 1 1/3 cups warm milk.
