Squash on squash, aka clash of the seasons. Butternut squash swirled with creme fraiche soup topped with quick-pickled summer squash and shallots, plus crushed pistachios just for fun.

Shroomies and Instant Pot navy beans. And garlic-sage oil. And an egg yolk. Recipe slightly adapted from @bonappetitmag.

Brought this back from my parents’ this weekend. I believe this “Buy a Piece or Sunnyside” board from the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce is from the mid-1970s. My grandparents’ business, Fox Discount, went for a cool $140.

I pork chopped! Am I doing this right? I am but a humble Jew, so naturally it took 33 years for me to make one of these. It’s a riff on a @nytcooking recipe (all hail!) with a truly killer pan sauce. Made with Rosh Hashanah apples, obviously.

When our friends in Queens offer to hang with us in Brooklyn, we’re like, nah. We’ll come to you. Case in point, the new HK Food Court in Elmhurst, which offers some of the best Asian food around—Tibetan, Thai, Sichuan, Taiwanese… I could keep going. Seen here: Cold, spicy hand-cut noodles from Liang Pi Wang. (at Elmhurst, New York)

I made this salad with a baby strapped to my chest. But reality check: It was made possible by a partner who has the luxury of parental leave. I was able to prep all of the ingredients yesterday while Jon bounced a very upset Dalia, who was having a MOMENT. People who do this solo, my hats are off to you, but you shouldn’t have to choose between eating a healthy salad and taking care of your baby. Parenthood is a four-hand operation.

Today, in the company of family and friends, we named Dalia in the Jewish tradition. Also in the Lion King tradition. (at the way station)
