Solution to a problem: this is (so far) the perfect bag for carrying a camera + essentials without either killing my shoulders or running the risk of a broken camera.

Beautiful setting to find a teeny piece of glass in my food. Needless to say, this place won’t be getting a favorable review over at Oh No! Not Another NYC Food Blog!

Harissa

This fiery little African/Middle Eastern condiment can be dressed up and used a thousand different ways. Use as the base for a dipping sauce for meats, cheeses, etc., on sandwiches, tucked into green beans or other veggies, as a pasta sauce, or anywhere else you want some spicy seasoning with a splash of smoke.

Harissa

1 red pepper

1 long red chile

1 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. olive oil

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

1/4 tsp. coriander

1/4 tsp. cumin

Squirt fish sauce

Blacken red pepper. When it cools enough to handle, de-stem and de-seed. Place into a food processor and add the rest of the ingredients. Pulse to forme a paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Season with salt & pepper.

Serves 2-8, depending upon how you use it.

Ok, technically this picture is cheating because I took it the day before, but I had surprise iPhone pictures to post. I did take a picture yesterday, but it was of a dish I will be posting in the next few weeks so you will just have to wait.

This is the look of utter adoration. Any aggravation caused by this dog (and there is a lot – he’s bull headed and bitchy) is completely balanced out by the look of complete worship he gives my DH.
