fried rice with fish sauce and citrus

December 28, 2022December 28, 2022 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ 1 Comment

cooked leftover rice lasts for about five days in the fridge. i don't like to admit it, but i have ended this time period before without using the rice at hand, which is always sad. enter: tamar adler's thai fried rice recipe - from her book about cooking (that i highly recommend) called "an everlasting … Continue reading fried rice with fish sauce and citrus

good morning! this morning i woke up and did a "waking up" meditation, if you will, via headspace (my fav meditation app). and i've got to say... it was a nice way to awaken! the meditation itself was a visualization when you recall a time that you were heated by the sun and in an … Continue reading tofu files

apparently the universe got itself in order because i'm feeling inspired to cook a little more, and work stuff has chilled out a bit?! my brain is feeling a little more organized and i'm writing a little more and exercising a little more, and feeling generally, dare i say... good?! all of this is to … Continue reading inspo

cooking: day two of weekly plan

September 9, 2020September 8, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ Leave a comment

went to crissy field beach in san francisco after work yesterday with char n gary. hardly any traffic across the bay bridge from oakland! as we pulled into the presidio, a blanket of fog enveloped the entire area. the temperature dropped to around 62 degrees F, and the wind was in full force. it was … Continue reading cooking: day two of weekly plan

nettle leaf tonic

September 6, 2020September 5, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ 3 Comments

i love herbal teas. it makes sense to me to drink an herbal tonic for its health benefits and for a nice change-up to the ole water routine. i have been having a cup of nettle leaf every day lately. it's a very gentle herb, so for most people, it's fine to consume daily, and … Continue reading nettle leaf tonic

i've recently found myself out of the mood for cooking, but i have been reading two cookbooks, which are really changing my tune. the first is called vegan for everybody, by america's test kitchen, which i've been using for quick and fresh dinners since last week (i'll write a post about this later). the next … Continue reading breakfast and lunch

an excerpt and a note on farmer’s markets

April 19, 2020 ~ cookingwithleeks ~ Leave a comment

I start cooking as soon as possible after shopping, when the memory of the market's sun and cheerful tents are still in mind. If you can't get to it immediately, though, put everything but the greens in a big bowl on your kitchen table instead of refrigerating it. In plain sight, your vegetables will chide … Continue reading an excerpt and a note on farmer’s markets

an excerpt from big magic

In Conclusion Creativity is sacred, and it is not sacred.What we make matters enormously, and it doesn't matter at all.We toil alone, and we are accompanied by spirits.Art is a crushing chore and a wonderful privilege.Only when we are at our most playful can divinity finally get serious with us.Make space for all these paradoxes … Continue reading an excerpt from big magic
