GARLICVS MAXIMVS: beach blondies with corona and lime
http://garlicusmaximus.blogspot.com/2012/08/beach-blondies-with-corona-and-lime.html
Two cooks, innumerable garlic cloves. Thursday, August 9, 2012. Beach blondies with corona and lime. Believe it or not, I actually made these Corona Blondies back in January for an Oscars party. I added lime zest and juice to the original recipe and called them Hawaiian Corona Blondies in honor of nominee The Descendants. I did start off with a recipe for corona-blondies. These are definitely a fairly sweet dessert, and if you go with the glaze like I did, they are also a bit of a sticky mess, but I don'...

GARLICVS MAXIMVS: squid and leeks braised with red wine/foie gras ravioli with cherry balsamic gastrique
http://garlicusmaximus.blogspot.com/2012/11/squid-and-leeks-braised-with-red.html
Two cooks, innumerable garlic cloves. Thursday, November 1, 2012. Squid and leeks braised with red wine/foie gras ravioli with cherry balsamic gastrique. Back in April, Nathan and I celebrated our four year anniversary. As he's a law student and I'm a terminally underpaid editorial assistant, we opted to stay in and prepare a fancy meal for ourselves, much as we did for Valentine's Day. Squid and Leeks in Red Wine. Adapted from Richard Olney’s Simple French Food. Via the Amateur Gourmet. 2 cups red wine.

GARLICVS MAXIMVS: January 2012
http://garlicusmaximus.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Two cooks, innumerable garlic cloves. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Butter-fried potato and apple slices with porcini mushrooms, shallots, parsley and sage. Man, I cant believe how January is already flying by! And here I am, still blogging about something I made back in October. Luckily, this meal was mainly root vegetables and apples, which store pretty well throughout the winter, so this is still fairly. Friday, January 13, 2012. Pork chops and apples in mustard cream sauce. Tuesday, January 10, 2012.

Wonderer: March 2010
http://lisapcv.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 3, 2010. We just switched some things around and had the women participate in the more visual part of the meeting (learning how to take photos of their products, reviewing the photos we had already gathered, etc.). A couple of the women seemed to really be into the process and I am confident that they will clear up whatever issue that we were having with their future attempts. Some have access to fresh milk from their own cows, so cheese making might be a great opportunity for them.

Wonderer: June 2009
http://lisapcv.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Instead of giving you my reasons for not blogging in quite some time, I’ll just pick up where my life is at the moment. Yes, plumbing and electricity are nice, but all in all it was a pleasant start to the weekend. Although the food was unsurprisingly Moroccan, the carrots and squash and milk were amazingly even fresher and tastier than what I buy outside my house (I didn’t think it was possible). Plus, I got to ride a donkey. I may be back for seconds sometime soon.

Wonderer: July 2009

Sunday, July 26, 2009. Giving is an issue that runs through my head on a daily basis. With the current economy-situation it can be difficult to be generous a times. Or maybe that isn’t true—haven’t I heard that those who are closest to poverty give the largest percentage of what they have to help others? Why is my first response defensiveness and embarrassment when approached by those asking for a hand-out? Are they looking for drug/alcohol money? Maybe I’ve just been too sheltered by my own accord...

Joy in Morocco: May 2010
http://joyinmorocco.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 13, 2010. Some rural Moroccan women have peculiar sense of fashion. There is the traditional jellaba. Souqs are flooded with clothes of modern appeal. However, more often than not, rural Moroccan women simply throw an old bed sheet or fuzzy blanket over their pajamas for a day "out in town." I s this resourcefulness or a fashion crime? Such was my delight when I arrived in the Souss region. Here, the women drape themselves with colorful mhlef. Color the Souss with playful hues of life.

Friday, November 20, 2009. Peace Corps Mourns the Loss of Volunteer So-Youn Kim. Monday, November 2, 2009. 11 am That is the time I should have left town in order to catch the train from Rabat down to Marrakech at 1:45 pm Lynn will be on the train already, and I’ll join her for our trip down south for a pottery workshop. 8220;I’ll stop by sometime this morning.” I hear, a sinking feeling in my stomach. This is going to be like waiting for the cable guy, isn’t it? No problem. I go back to my house and...
