On September 30, 2008 I met Michelle Obama. Just before the November election, Mrs. Obama came to CU-Boulder with the purpose of rallying students to register to vote. It was an exciting time, before the recession had taken its toll on the American spirit. I could feel the importance of the moment, that Michelle Obama [...]]]> http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/17/cook-in-the-moment-recipe-for-mussels-cooked-in-rose/feed/ 4 http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/15/10-ways-tuesday-rose-wine/ http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/15/10-ways-tuesday-rose-wine/#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 11:00:09 +0000 Jess http://www.ladomestique.com/?p=11740
I’ve got creative ideas for enjoying Rosé wine during the warm days of late spring: 1.  Rosé Steamed Mussels Dry rosé, with its mineral character and hint of fruit, is the base of a spicy broth infused with the briny flavor of mussels in this recipe from Food & Wine. It’s a simple dish and [...]]]> http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/15/10-ways-tuesday-rose-wine/feed/ 12 http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/14/ingredient-of-the-week-rose-wine/ http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/14/ingredient-of-the-week-rose-wine/#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 06:30:35 +0000 Jess http://www.ladomestique.com/?p=11744
This week I suffered my first (and only) sunburn of the season. It’s now warm enough to steal a Friday afternoon at the pool before the kids get out of school and ruin all the lovely peace and quiet. Each year, I cautiously don my bikini and creep out to a lounge chair in the [...]]]> http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/14/ingredient-of-the-week-rose-wine/feed/ 12 http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/10/cook-in-the-moment-rhubarb-clafoutis/ http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/10/cook-in-the-moment-rhubarb-clafoutis/#comments Thu, 10 May 2012 16:42:54 +0000 Jess http://www.ladomestique.com/?p=11705
This Mother’s Day I’m thinking about my little sister. We were only born two years apart, but in my mind she will always be somewhere between 5 and 15 years old. When I look at her, it’s a different story. I’m in awe of the woman my sister has grown up to be. At first [...]]]> http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/10/cook-in-the-moment-rhubarb-clafoutis/feed/ 12 http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/08/10-ways-tuesday-rhubarb/ http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/08/10-ways-tuesday-rhubarb/#comments Tue, 08 May 2012 09:00:43 +0000 Jess http://www.ladomestique.com/?p=11629
I’ve got creative recipes for cooking with rhubarb during spring: 1.  Rhubarb Clafoutis The first line written in River Cottage Every Day is, “Good food prepared from fresh ingredients- ideally seasonal and locally sourced- can and should be at the heart of every happy, healthy family kitchen.” In the cookbook, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall pledges to show [...]]]> http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/08/10-ways-tuesday-rhubarb/feed/ 16 http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/06/ingredient-of-the-week-rhubarb/ http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/06/ingredient-of-the-week-rhubarb/#comments Mon, 07 May 2012 05:27:28 +0000 Jess http://www.ladomestique.com/?p=11596
Rhubarb is a sight for sore eyes! Like an oasis in the dessert, she appears to bridge the hungry gap between citrus season and the fresh berries and stone fruits of summer. I might not notice her then, surrounded by fuzzy peaches and plump cherries. But now, the stage is all hers, and just as [...]]]> http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/06/ingredient-of-the-week-rhubarb/feed/ 18 http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/03/cook-in-the-moment-grilled-spring-onions-with-romesco-sauce/ http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/03/cook-in-the-moment-grilled-spring-onions-with-romesco-sauce/#comments Thu, 03 May 2012 17:52:00 +0000 Jess http://www.ladomestique.com/?p=11567
I’m not into celebrity chefs, per se. My favorite cookbooks are penned by self-taught home cooks with an interesting story to tell and a reverence for the craft of writing. Paula Wolfert, Nigel Slater, David Tanis, even Nigella Lawson. I want more than recipes. Give me history, culture, tradition. Let me be lost in your [...]]]> http://www.ladomestique.com/2012/05/03/cook-in-the-moment-grilled-spring-onions-with-romesco-sauce/feed/ 14
