Will Monson emailed me a couple weeks ago asking about food blogs that I liked to use. I composed a great list and have been meaning to post it. I'm constantly finding new blogs through tastespotting which essentially does the screening for you, but here goes:

Cooking in Jerusalem!
Thanks for the inspiration Jen, I've been meaning to post for awhile now. I haven't been photographing food hardly at all since I've been here, but that doesn't mean I haven't been cooking! I spend most of my time in the kitchen at my internship at the Eucalyptus Restaurant, and therefore don't do a ton of cooking at home in my apartment. But we've been doing this great thing on Tuesdays where a bunch of us go to kickboxing class at the gym and then have a very late potluck dinner afterwards. They seem to be getting better and better each week and it's great, because we can each focus on just one dish and then we all share. That's a potluck for ya. But anyways, for the sake of posting, I'll put up the 3 photos I do have of food that's been cooked like 2 months ago haha.
We did a repeat of Ali's mom's tofu spaghetti sauce. A great thing to make if you lack every cooking tool including an oven, like we do!
These next two dishes come straight from one of my favorite food blogs, an Edible Mosaic. It was an eggplant and garbanzo bean stew over a creamy polenta.
I made it for our first real Shabbat in Israel, after we'd been there only a week and a half. Shabbat in the student village turned out to be pretty dull...it's hard to get around, nothing's open...and I haven't stayed in the student village on Shabbat since this night.
I've been meaning to bring a camera to work to show you guys the restaurant and the kitchen and some of the dishes I've (kind of) learned how to prepare. I know I'll get made fun of hardcore for taking pics, but not like that's anything new- they love to make fun of me there (mainly in Hebrew and I never know what's going except I'll randomly hear my name, oh my...)

Cookin' in Aix
Chopped pears and golden raisins cooked in a little grape juice with fromage frais ("fresh cheese" - it's like sour cream without the sourness).
I bought a big bag of mixed seafood from this frozen foods store in Aix and made a stew with a variety market-fresh veggies. Everything cooked in a bit of chicken broth, canned tomatoes, and a little l'huile d'olive (olive oil). Whole wheat pasta completed the repas (meal).
My friend was sick so I cooked her some chicken soup. I cheated by using a little chicken bullion but it was mostly celery, carrots, onions, garlic, parsley, brown rice and chicken breast. Très delicieuse!
