Dinner last night, @mamalilspeppers, cheddar, green onion soufflé and radicchio-lentil salad with a mustard-heavy vinaigrette. Lots of favorite things going on there. #homecooking #cheesy #mamalilspeppers #radicchio #wintercooking #comfortfood

From last week, one of my favorite super-easy recipes for crab. From, not surprisingly, my book Crab. Portions tossed with rosemary sprigs, sliced lemon and garlic, chile flakes....then in a hot oven until toasty and aromatic. Mmmmmm. #shellfish #getcrabby #teamdungeness #homecooking #crab #crabrecipes #lifeinthenorthwest #cookingshellfish

Lovely bursts of color on the patio thanks to this witch hazel. A gift from friends over 20 years ago when my mom died. Matches her red hair and vibrant personality. Love it so much.

The tortilla train dropped by this morning!! It has sadly taken me this long to try these delicious @milpamasa tortillas, had to dive right in for a taste. Enchiladas tomorrow. Huevos rancheros, quesadillas....we'll see how long these last. Luckily walking distance for me to restock. Thanks so much @twicksea!

I thought maybe that small box delivered a bit ago was going to be some N95 masks I ordered. I'm not unhappy that it's @franschocolates instead. The perfect surprise on a rainy Monday. I'll be happy when the other box arrives, too, of course. But.....you know. It won't be chocolate.

With these recent purchases my set of TimeLife Foods of the World is nearly complete. Just missing 3 of the recipe books. Makes me super happy. I've relied on, and gotten lost in, these books most often when doing research. But recently cooked a lamb recipe from Spain & Portugal that was fab. Will dive in for more cooking more often. Any of you have a favorite recipe from this set? PS I got recent books from indie sellers via @abebooks. One of which wrapped my purchase in Sunday comics! Bonus. #cookbooks #shopsmall #longlivebooks #indiebookstore
