The Zizi-ology of Cooking

I’ve worked in many restaurants in my, albeit short, time in the public work force, but in that time I have had some wonderful opportunities. I have also been spoilt. It’s a bit of a comedown to have pasta for three days in a row after having lagonstinoes, fresh swordfish and prime cut steaks at my fingertips—and that I could have for lunch daily. (Actually, as employees we were not allowed to have the more expensive things very often, and I didn’t like the swordfish anyway.) With so many raw ingredients available I wasn’t going to stick to the menu items for my lunch. I began to experiment. I’d add fried corn, onions and bacon to the leek soup; one of my favorites was to take the house-made raspberry vinaigrette and fry chopped bacon, onions and our own linguini, and then top it with shredded asiago cheese. I once made shrimp cocktail simply to see if I could make cocktail sauce; it wasn’t on the menu and I served it to the human resources manager with the hopes of him

Blessings and Cookies

Nick had to tell me the other day to stop obsessing about getting things "right" for Christmas. That's what the Thanksgiving Event was about--having fun, not stress. I completely forgot about that in the last few days trying to get everything done before Christmas comes. Christmas is not about celebrating with family, and having the ham cooked to golden and all your cookies delivered. It's about the birth of Christ. Put aside for the moment even what He came to do--it's the day He came! The day that the Son of God became Man and entered the world. That is reason enough to drop everything else and just be. I have found myself alternating between trying to mail christmas cards and feverishly decorating cookies, and stopping in the middle of a wild, screaming frenzy and just sitting down to enjoy the blessings I have been given. I'd like to take a moment and share them with you. I'm married to my best friend and the most wonderful man in the world. He s

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Welcome to Advent! It's time to prepare ourselves for the coming of Christ! And I think Nick and I, and his family, are taking it a bit more seriously this year. Nick's grandfather died on the last day of the liturgical year, and we have been thinking a lot about what it means to die a "happy death," and what the coming of Christ is really about; and it's a strangely fitting thing to think on at the beginning of Advent. Grandpa was an extraordinary man; and I think he died much like he lived--joyfully. I have never heard of anyone more ready to meet his Lord than Grandpa was. I don't really know much about him, and I only met him twice, but everyone says he was wonderful, and that he was one of the holiest men they knew. I do know that his was a very fulfilled life. He lived as a child of God should, and there was nothing more he needed--or need do when he died. His life on earth was filled and he was ready to move on to something better. That'
