My new cast iron pan.  Like all beautiful things, it has a story.  I&#8217;ve wanted a cast iron pan for a long time.  Every day for the past few weeks, I used to walk past Brown&#8217;s Paint-Hardware on Franklin Street on my way to work at the Center for Civil Rights.  [...]]]></description>

This has a creamy, earthy feel and taste.  The flavors meld deliciously well together in the oven.  I made this for a dinner party (and didn&#8217;t get any pictures of an individual serving, sorry!), and it was pretty quick to put together - and the meal didn&#8217;t require much more.  I served [...]]]></description>

This was my first time making meatballs in a non-Pakistani style, but they turned out well.  I loosely got this recipe from my Good Housekeeping cookbook, but I made some changes.  The meatballs stay soft and flavorful because of a pureed onion and garlic mixture.


Meatballs:
1 lb ground beef
2 slices of bread
1 egg
1 garlic [...]]]></description>

These are just cute.  And yummy, and quick to put together.  The sundried tomato butter is used twice - the onions are sauteed in it and it is spread onto the bagels.  It adds a sweet-savory tang that balances out the strength of the kabobs (which I guess I&#8217;m using as breakfast [...]]]></description>

I started this recipe in the form of Applesauce Cake from a Martha Stewart cookbook (that&#8217;s the only way I can stand her - on paper) - but they&#8217;re oh  so much more cute as cupcakes with DL&#8217;s Dulce de Leche swirled on top.

This is a very hearty, scoop-it-into-a-bowl-and-get-some-crusty-bread stew which can be made completely vegetarian or a little different by adding lamb or beef.  I got it from Elise at Simply Recipes.  I think it tastes best when the eggplant, tomatoes, mint, and peppers come from your own garden (or your father-in-law&#8217;s).

My dad bought a camera when I was born, a Nikon in a black leather case.  It went with him everywhere, so needless to say, we have my entire childhood in photographic print.  Drooling, crawling, walking, bathing, first day of school, school plays - he didn&#8217;t leave anything out.  And my [...]]]></description>
