I haven’t posted anything in awhile because I moved on June 1. Moving from a three story townhouse to a one floor apartment takes considerable planning. When I wasn’t crying and packing my bags I was eating out at my favorite comfort food spots: Doobie’s and Grace Tavern. I wasn’t cooking too much and my grocery shopping was pitiful. I was, in essence, doing exactly what I don’t like to do. Now that I am settled in my beautiful new apartment I am cooking once again. Actually, no one reminded me before I moved just how expensive moving can be (I hadn’t done it in about five years).So the last two weeks have been filled with a higher than normal amount of cooking. Nothing too fascinating though.
The only two dishes of note are incredibly basic. This past weekend we had a wonderful heat wave here in Philly. Also, strawberries are in season. Ergo, I made strawberry lemonade! I wish I had some of it right now (I just brought home a bottle of embarassingly flavored vodka), it was so good. I more or less followed the recipe for strawberry basil lemonade that appeared in the Inquirer this past weekend.
The other dish was a great hot-weather standby–guacamole! I like my goac pretty virginal-avocado, lime, salt and pepper, a dash of ancho chili powder. Simple and delicous.
