a new beginning

I used to blog about political things... but as i discovered how political food is, my blog turned into a food journal.

here's a little something i prepared for lunch today... salad with homemade dressing.

I credit Suzanne Goin for making me a better cook. This dressing is adapted from one in her book "Sunday Suppers at Lucques". Sure it's more involved than just pouring a dressing out of a jar - but i make enough to use on several salads.

When I eat like this, and take pictures - i tend to lose weight. I haven't photographed my food for several months, and have gained about 10 pounds (eeeek!) so back to taking control of my diet - STAT!
