Off to Baltimore and Roasted Celery Root

Tomorrow we are flying to Baltimore. I am going to the NDRN Annual Conference http://www.ndrn.org/index.htm. I am currently the president of NDRN's Board of Directors and have been for nearly 2 years. I go off as president in May - terms only last 2 years.

Chili Relleno Bake

Today I made a baked chili relleno recipe. Adapted it from a recipe at cooks.com. Craig likes it because it has cheese, eggs and green chilies. We had a spinach salad and tortillas with it. It is really easy and tasty. Here is the recipe.

Full Belly Kale with Olives

After I write my blog for today - I plan to cook dinner. I have interesting things to prepare. About 2 years ago, I signed up for boxes of produce from the Full Belly Farm http://www.fullbellyfarm.com/. Every week except for a couple weeks in December, I have Craig go pick up a box of produce at a site in downtown Sacramento. The box contains whatever is in season. You can find out a day or so in advance what is going to be in the box, but I rarely do that - preferring instead to be surprised. 

Eggs

My photography assignment this week was to take a photo of an egg. The instructor said we should use this as an opportunity to study light. So being the compulsive person I am - I took about 100 pictures of an egg. And the pictures were mostly taken on my desk with the light coming through as stripes on the desk and egg. The one here was a single shot I took of Craig holding the egg. I thought it was interesting although is not the one I plan to turn into my instructor because it turned out too dark.

Lemon Slice Pie

Hey - I said I'd post this recipe - Try it! Although I have no idea now where I got the idea for the pie from. Apologies to the chef. I like it better than lemon meringue because it is easier.
