Tonight I’m making Susan’s carrots: a delightful (and a smidge healthy) dish of steamed carrots caramelized in a tablespoon of real maple syrup.\u00a0 They’re candy-sweet and so tasty!\u00a0 I learned how to make these so many years ago when Susan and I were friends living near each other in Salt Lake City.\u00a0 Every time I make these carrots I think of her and her charming Martha-Stewart-like kitchen<\/a> and the hours spent chatting over food (and kids and photos and writing and…dreams of graduate school).\u00a0 Another favorite thing I make that I also learned during those years of my life is “Mindy Sauce,” which is an Italian marinara that my friend Melinda taught me how to make and has a few variations (varying the final spice can make it a bit sweet or a bit more savory).\u00a0 As I whip it up I always remember her admonition to keep adding the basil until the contrast between the red tomato-y sauce and the green leaves “looks like Christmas” in the pot.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I have so many recipes that I make based on the memory of a friend sharing them with me.\u00a0 Some recent additions to my repertoire include Jonathan’s steak (with a bleu cheese sauce, amazing<\/em>), Karen’s guacamole (with a secret creamy ingredient!), Stijn’s Salty Cod (although he makes it so much better than me), Aubrey’s Salt-crusted Chicken (my new favorite way to roast a bird), and Sandra’s Magical Salty-Sweet-Crunchy appetizers (yumyumyum).<\/p>\n

It makes me wonder what food reminds my friends of me?\u00a0 My pizza, perhaps (that I love rolling out on the bar in my kitchen while entertaining a group and sipping wine and giggling?\u00a0 Or a loaf of my homemade bread?\u00a0 Or something else?<\/p>\n

And, what is your signature dish?<\/p>\n
