Comfort food. In the winter, sometimes you just need a good bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup, right? Well, I decided to put a little bit of a twist on the classic, adding some spices that add even more warming properties: garlic, ginger, turmeric and black pepper. And it’s a “cheater” recipe as I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to make it easy on me. For the noodles, I used udon and I added carrots, red pepper and Swiss chard for color. One of the best soups (or is it a stew?) that I have ever made.

Today’s foodie theme is a Superbowl Challenge! I decided to come up with two savory and two sweet things that symbolize the (Northeast) New England Patriots and the (So Cal) Los Angeles Rams. Thiis wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be because … well, evidently I know very little about what is “typical” food in LA. For the “savory component for The Southern Left Coast, I decided to go with Fish Tacos with Quick Pickled Toppings, Cabbage, Avocado and Cilantro. Yummy but a total pain in the neck to eat!
Comfort Food FTW this cold Sunday afternoon. I think that short ribs are perhaps my favorite cut of beef — provided you had enough time to cook it low and slow, which I did for nearly 2 and a half hours. I’ve made a number of short rib recipes before (search the site, if you are interested) but this “Provençale” version is a new one for me, with Niçois olives. I’ve served it here with Crème fraîche mashed potatoes (no recipe), but would also go well with other potato styles or even butter noodles, dumplings or Spätzle, though that wouldn’t be all that traditional.
