CUTTLEFISH INK PASTA WITH CHICKEN + SPINACH

September 9, 2020 Posie Brien
Cuttlefish Ink Pasta.jpg

Again, a list. (Don’t look at me like that! This is not a cop-out of a blog post or a sneaky avoidance of any actual writing, nor is it an indication of my brain being not entirely up to forming full sentences. Or is it…?)

Regardless, this is a collection of bits and snippets that I’m excited about—and it’s as much of a way to inspire you as it is a way to remind me about each of these items. If I didn't list them here, I’d probably end up sticking half of them on Post-Its which would get lost in the pages of cookbooks on my bookshelf or hidden underneath a pile of size 6-9 month whale-printed pajamas. Or I’d jot a few of them down in the Notes app on my phone and bookmark some in a random collection on Pinterest—obviously forgetting that I never remember to actually check or open either of those apps.

A BRILLIANT WEEKNIGHT CHICKEN RECIPE

December 20, 2017 Posie Brien
Roast Mayo Chicken.jpg

I glance at my phone to see that little red circle alerting me of a new text message. At the right moment, that can be the nicest sight. It says "headed home" and I'm happy. I'm in the kitchen, standing in socked feet at the stove. The twinkling strands of white lights, strung above the mantel, are glowing and Van Morrison sings warm love on the speakers. I've already made dinner, and I just need to reheat it.

PIZZA CHICKEN

May 24, 2017 Posie Brien

So far tonight I've listened three times to "Here at the Right Time" by Josh Ritter, and I swear my knees get a little weak when he sings: my love for you was always sure / the bucket was broken / but the water was pure.

If you like his music, I also get stuck some days on "Homecoming" and "Girl in the War". And if you need to, say, run stair repeats or get dressed to go out at night (I KNOW THOSE ARE VERY DIFFERENT THINGS but oddly they benefit from the same sort of tunes), try "Getting Ready to Get Down".

SPICED CHICKEN WITH TOMATO SAUCE & SPINACH RICE

April 20, 2016 Posie Brien

Today was a brilliant, sunny 68 degrees. I woke up and walked to yoga class without a jacket. Ninety minutes later, I walked home, drenched in sweat and on a little bit of an exercise high. I confess that I might have given a slightly superior look to all those bleary-eyed people slowly waking up over coffee in the local diner. But to the people already lined up at my local bakery (the one with the EXCEPTIONAL scone-sized cookies), I gave them all a mental high five. Those people have their priorities in order: Warm cookie > commute.

M&M COOKIES
October 24, 2022

The cookie crumbled slightly under her touch, leaving a spray of dust across the table between them. Adam picked up a second one from the plate, turning it around in his hand. It was thin and flat and as wide as his broad hand with the crinkled look of a very good molasses cookie. It was chewy and crisp at the same time—the slip of paper under the plate read simply miso, brown butter, rice flour. The other lines were equally intriguing: graham flour, rum, thyme and candied fennel, tahini, caramel.

Coconut Ginger Ice Cream
September 11, 2022

The breakfast room is bright; sunlight streams in through the palladian windows. The air smells of bacon and coffee and the subtle saltiness of sea air drifting in from off the sound. A platter of croissants and slices of lightly toasted Portuguese bread sits on the center of the table, flanked by delicate Royal Delft dishes holding softened butter, marmalade, and beach plum jam. Will saunters in, his hair tousled and his shirt rumpled, testament to the late hour he stumbled home the night before. Despite the gorgeous day unfolding and the leisurely breakfast awaiting them, there’s tension humming in the room.
