Put your Heart (of Palm) Into It.

I get a lot of food magazines. I actually get way too many food magazines. The problem, the reason why I say way too many, is that I insist on reading every word and staring at every detail of every photograph – and all in one sitting. Maybe everyone does that, but I feel like magazines, except for the literary ones, are more often enjoyed in a leaf-through-it-casually-and-pick-it-up-and-down-over-time sort of way. But me, once I pick it up and open the cover, I'm in it to win it until I flip that very last page. Kind of like me and a bag of chips.

Oh, and that's not all. Not by a long shot. I save them. I keep them all in a pile for a larger project. And once the pile reaches a certain height, about two or three times a year, I go back through every single page of every single magazine and rip out the pages that have recipes I want to play with and images that inspire me. After I tear them all out, I sort through them and file them into binders assigned to different categories; soups, breakfast, vegetables, poultry, holidays, and so on. The photographic inspired pages go into their own binder. It's like my own private Pinterest.

I can understand why Fred always tells me, 'It must be exhausting to be you'.

So now you see why perhaps I ought to cut back on the magazines.

And now that I'm moving across the country in less than two months (!), this all seems really idiotic. Especially considering if I ever want to find one of the recipes I can just Google them. But I can't stop myself. It's as if I am compelled. Which is scary since I just saw The Conjuring last weekend.

But, fairly often, I do refer to my binders of recipes to get dinner ideas. And just as often I refer to my binder of inspirational photos as a reference of how I'd like to visually capture said dinners.

So as I was poking around in the cupboard the other day I found a jar of hearts of palm. I honestly do not recall buying them and have no idea how long they had been living with me. I've always been fond of hearts of palm, but it totally reminds me of the early nineties. It lives in my memories with sun dried tomatoes, tuna tartare with mango, Dippin' Dots and Zima. I even vaguely recall a rumor going around that hearts of palm was bad for the world, kind of like the whole shrimp thing right now.

As I was holding the jar of hearts of palm and noodling down memory lane, reminiscing about white zin and baked brie, I remembered that very recently I saved and filed away a recipe for what else, hearts of palm. And I just so happened to have most of the ingredients. And what I did not have was easy to change out with other things, to make it my own. That's just kismet.

Heart of palm is an interesting thing. It is a vegetable. It's harvested from the inner core of certain palm trees. And yes, harvesting of many non-cultivated palms results in palm tree death. However, other palm species are clonal and moderate harvesting will not kill the entire clonal palm. Moreover, an alternative to wild hearts of palm are palm varieties which have undergone a process of adaptation to become a domesticated farm species. This variety is the most widely used for canning. And this very farmed variety is what we are buying at the market. But since harvesting is still a labor intensive task, palm hearts are regarded as a delicacy.

Move over foie gras, here comes something leaner?

Heart of palm does actually seem like a delicacy. It is delicate. It's soft in color and texture and has a subtle, muted taste. A taste that could be described as, well, delicate. Though I like to snack on one or two, straight up, no chaser, you will almost always find them in salads.

And here is no different.

I love this salad. It is bright and fresh and zippy. It's colorful and covers the entire texture spectrum, from super soft all the way over to super crunchy with everything in between. The original recipe called for parsley where I used cilantro. But I think any number of fresh herbs could and should be folded in as well; basil chives, shiso, mint, you name it. 

I will tell you now that once the hearts of palm jumped into that salad, they also jumped into a new memory category. One that is very much in the present. It was so simple to make and so fun to eat, that I bet once you try it, this is one of those recipes that will end up in your binder as well.

Hearts of Palm, Heirloom Tomato and Avocado Salad

Serves 2-4

1 cup mixed color heirloom tomatoes, chopped into ½-inch pieces

1/2 small sweet onion, cut into thin slivers

1 14-ounce cans hearts of palm, drained and sliced 1/2 inch thick

1 avocado, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro

1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 tablespoons canola oil

Salt

Freshly ground pepper

In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the onion slivers, hearts of palm, avocado and chopped cilantro. In a small bowl, whisk the lime zest and lime juice with the mayonnaise and oil; season the dressing with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently and serve right away.

The Road Taken

I started writing this post over a month ago. Since then I have started and stopped quite a few times. Then I just stopped. And stared. Nothing. Then I started again, but didn't know where to take it. I wasn't sure why. Normally once I start something, anything, I stay right with it until I finish. But this one is different. Change is afoot.

Like many writers, I often grapple with how much, or how little, to expose about myself here. To you. I like to talk, I like to tell stories, I like to share. It helps me process. It helps me see. I used to be religious about writing in my journals, almost excessively some days. In a sense, this has become my journal. The big difference is there is now an audience. An audience with reactions I cannot gauge while I 'talk'. For the most part I keep things on the lighter side, but I assure you that this voice is mine and mine alone. If you met me, that would be clear within moments. This voice is more disciplined, however, and part of an identity I am able to control.

Here I tell you about me, but within the framework of food and within the realm of my kitchen, or, perhaps, someone else's kitchen. I will tell you about Fred, or Besito, or anecdotes about any number of members of my family and certainly friends that come in and out of the spotlight at any particular time. And from all of that, and the years we've known one another, I can imagine you have gleaned quite a bit about me.

I have been hinting about some big news and I'm finally ready to tell you about it. At the end of September, after twelve years in the City of Angels I will be moving back home. And by home I mean Richmond, Virginia. I will not be alone, however. My love, Fred and our pups, Besito, Eduardo and our newest addition, Byron, will all be moving together. Our little family is going to join my Richmond family and the horizon is enormous.

I am not sure if you knew this, because I know I've never told you, but I have owned a dog walking businessfor the past decade. It has been quite successful and very good to me. This business has been the most solid, consistent, dependable and reliable thing I have known during my life in Los Angeles.

So, at almost forty years old, I am selling my business and am moving clear across the country. To do what? I'm not entirely certain, but the idea is a lot more of this. Writing. Cooking. Eating. Food. Recipes. Pictures. With Fred.

And there you have it.

I feel a little bit naked now. But good naked.

And relieved.

One very, very fun and exciting part of all of this is the actual journey. We will be driving and taking our time. Specifically, this will be a culinary journey from California to Virginia with a huge focus on the South. In the cities where we don't know people, we hope to rely on folks we know via social media to assist us in finding our next meal, or interview, or as Fred wants to do, a place for us to cook with locals; both home and professional chefs, and in both homes and restaurants. Part of the thrill of our cross country trip is the serendipity involved. We know that we will have food adventure and discovery that we are not even aware of at this moment. The best part is that we will be documenting everything as we go along.

I hope all of you get involved. Tell us where to go and what to eat. Better yet, if our paths cross, let us meet! And cook! And eat! Let's all do this together, shall we?

And, OMG, what should our hashtag be?!

In honor of this post I thought long and hard about what dish to share with y'all. Fred suggested I make something I've never made before, in the spirit of the unknown road ahead (very Robert Frost of him). I wanted to do something that represents what is happening with food here in LA then and now, so to speak, and food that signifies where I'm from and where I'm going: The South.

I settled on what I will call a Low Country Benedict: fried green tomatoes with Smithfield ham, poached eggs and a pimiento cheese hollandaise. Oddly, I have never made fried green tomatoes. And this summer my fecund garden is bursting with tomatoes – red, yellow, orange and green. When I think of eggs Benedict I think of the LA from the eighties, think LA Story and people lingering over coffee, mimosas and bloody marys and fancy, bougie French fare wearing sunglasses, white linen and big hats. That said, southern food is so, so, very, very en vogue here in LA (and everywhere) right now. Think Willie Jane and The Hart and the Hunter's entire menu, , A-Frame's fried chicken picnic, Son of a Gun's pimiento cheese with Ritz crackers, Lucques' annual rib-fest, everyone's deviled eggs, and so on. And perhaps most obviously, fried green tomatoes are, and have been for quite some time, very prominent in the south.

And so without further ado...

Fried Green Tomato Benedict with Smithfield Ham & Pimiento Cheese Hollandaise

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

4 thin slices of Smithfield ham

2 tablespoons chopped chives, for garnish

4 eggs

2 teaspoons white or rice vinegar

4 large slices of fried green tomatoes

Salt & freshly cracked pepper

Pimiento Cheese Hollandaise

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

4 egg yolks

1 tablespoon lemon juice

4 teaspoons powdered cheddar cheese (found in your standard mac n' cheese package)

1 4 ounce jar of pimientos, chopped

Dash of cayenne or tabasco

Dash of Worcestershire sauce

Salt to taste

Directions

Start with the fried green tomatoes. Recipe below. Once they're cooked, keep them in the oven on warm until you're ready to assemble the dish.

Next bring a large saucepan two-thirds-filled with water to a boil, then add the vinegar. Bring the water to a boil again, then lower the heat to a bare simmer.

Make the pimiento cheese hollandaise. Vigorously whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice in a stainless steel bowl until the mixture is thickened and doubled in volume. Place the bowl over a saucepan containing barely simmering water (or use a double boiler); the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl. Continue to whisk rapidly. Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and doubled in volume. Remove from heat, whisk in powdered cheese a teaspoon at a time, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne. Stir in the pimientos. Cover and place in a warm spot until ready to use for the eggs Benedict. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water before serving. Salt to taste

Poach the eggs. Here is  an easy method for poaching eggs. Essentially, working one egg at a time, crack an egg into a small bowl and slip into the barely simmering water. Once it begins to solidify, slip in another egg, until you have all four cooking. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let sit for 4 minutes. (Remember which egg went in first, you'll want to take it out first.) When it comes time to remove the eggs, gently lift out with a slotted spoon. Note that the timing is a little variable on the eggs, depending on the size of your pan, how much water, how many eggs, and how runny you like them. You might have to experiment a little with your set-up to figure out what you need to do to get the eggs exactly the way you like them.

Gently remove the eggs from the poaching water and set in a bowl. 

To assemble the eggs Benedict, put two fried green tomatoes on each plate and top each with a thin slice of Smithfield ham. You can trim the ham to fit the tomato if you’d like. Put a poached egg on top of the ham, pour hollandaise over. Top with sprinkles of chives and fresh cracked black pepper. Serve at once.

Let's Go to Paris With The Kids

Paris is a uniquely cosmopolitan city-the true essence of culture and sophistication, so it may not be your first choice of destinations in which to travel with your children. But, Paris is filled with many family and child friendly places and activities-the French have kids too, right? So if you and your spouse are looking for a getaway that is both romantic and family friendly, don't overlook Paris as an option! Depending on the ages of your children, several of the famous Paris attractions are free, which means you can save your money to savor croissants with your kids! Structuring your trip to include alternating days of "child focused" activities, with those of a more grown up feel, may also be an excellent way to explore the city with your children, so that the whole family has a fulfilling trip to the City of Lights.

If your children are feeling disgruntled or at all homesick entice them with a trip to Disneyland Paris! Similar to the famous American theme park of the same name-this is Disney with a twist. Disney Paris is two theme parks in one-Disneyland Park, and Walt Disney Studios Park. The former is the theme park you've come to expect from Disney, while the latter is more focused on cinema and the film industry-and attractions specifically related to Disney films. In Paris it's not all about Mickey, check out some of the other fun and interactive Amusements Parks.

Aquaboulevard is an aquatic indoor recreational park on the edge of Paris. With waves, slides and swimming pools. Perfect place to cool down during summer and a little break from all the museum visits. Outside of Paris near the Charles de Gaulle Airport there is a fun amusement park to visit called Park Asterix. It is open 10 AM - 6 PM.

During the summer months, Paris' famous Jardin du Luxembourg offers pony rides and has an old fashioned carousel that will surprise and delight your children. Kids will also enjoy the puppet theater and playground at the park's southwest end. After playtime you can stroll through the beautiful gardens.

There are definitely sites that are family and kid focused, but there is also no reason why you can't take your children to some of the famous sites of Paris such as the L'Arc de Triomphe or La Tour Eiffel (the Eiffel Tower).

Both the L'Arc de Triomph and La Tour Eiffel are excellent places to take your kids for some Paris themed fun. With both of these attractions there is the opportunity to teach your kids a bit of history, as well as giving them spectacular views of this incredible city. The added bonus is that with both attractions, you're able to walk up a portion of the structure. This way your kids can burn off some of their energy, giving you a break and making them a bit easier to handle when you sit down in a bustling Parisian cafe for your post sight-seeing break.

The Louvre is a world famous art museum that is a fun destination for any age. There are tour guides in Paris that can arrange a special private tour of the Louvre for just your family and incorporate a fun scavenger hunt for the kids, as you take in all the history and beauty this museum as to offer. The Louvre is fun, but how about some museums geared for the kid's specifically? Here is a list of fun, educational an interactive museums.

Centre Pompidou - They organize movie screening for kids every Wed at 2:30pm and also houses the National Museum of Modern Art, Children's Gallery, Movie Theaters and restaurants and cafes.

La Cite des Sciences et de L'industrie - Science and modern technology museum with a special section for children called La Cite des Enfants. This is an amazing kid's museum that has been completely renovated. It's designed to help children develop and discover the world around them, and to introduce them to science and technology through a series of hands-on activities. There is an area for 2-7 year-olds, with entertaining early-learning situations and activities. And an area for 5-12 year-olds, where youngsters can discover science and technology in a series of activities. There's also an aquarium, a submarine, and a planetarium.

Space and Air Museum - The Space and Air Museum is 10 kilometers north of Paris near the Le Bourget Airport in the direction of Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Sea Life is a new aquarium in Paris and definitely worth a visit. Especially for our kids that love the wonderful world under the sea.

Paris Wax Museum Musee Grevin - One of Europe's oldest wax museums (started in 1882) and today boasts around 300 life-sized wax figures, from Leonardo da Vinci to Marilyn Monroe and current French President Nicolas Sarkozy. This is a fun outing for kids and parents.

Natural History Museum - An interesting and educational museum with exhibits about the past,present and future.

A great way for your children to visit the museums is with a guide specifically geared for kids. The tours offered are for children six to twelve. The guides at Paris Kid aim to make culture and art appreciation fun an exciting through interactive museum visits and hands-on workshops.

Time to be entertained, how about a trip to the Circus? The Cirque d'Hiver is an old fashioned circus complete with flying trapeze, horseback riding and acrobatics. The Bouglioune family has run a circus in this coliseum since the 1930's.

Have you been to the top of every monument in Paris and want to try something new? How about a hot air balloon ride on the Aeuro Paris? This gas balloon is tethered, but it still sails up almost 500 feet and gives you a fantastic view of the city. It is kid friendly and is only 10 Euros per person.

How about vising a zoo in Paris or even better an African drive through Safari at the Thoiry African Reserve...now we're talking! You can see exotic animals as you drive through the Safari, go through their fun Maze or just explore the historic Chateau where the African Reserve is located. Something for everyone and definitely something to write home about.

Still want something out of the ordinary? How about a Cooking Class for the kiddo's? They can meet other kids and learn how to make some culinary delights from a French Chef...oh la la!. Definitely something they can brag about to Grandma and Grandpa when they get home. At the Coulisses de Chef they have Wednesday classes from 3 Pm to 5 PM for children seven and up.

For all you chocolate lovers young and old there is a great Chocolate Museum in Paris to explore. This museum is interesting and delicious at the same time!

If you are exploring Paris in the summer and want to cool off, how about a dip in the pool? At the Roger le Gall swimming pool the roof opens to the Paris sky, which is perfect for a hot day in Paris. It is located at 34, boulevard Carnot, 75012 Paris and the phone number is 01 44 73 81 12. Here you can find a list of pools in Paris - Municipal Swimming Pools.

Another fun way to cool off in the summer is a boat ride on the Seine. The Explorer Cruise is a one hour cruise for kids and allows children to discover mysteries of this glorious Capital. They offer entertainment by a professional comedian, which is both informative and fun. Departures are every Wednesday 2:45 (except public holidays).

If you have picky eaters on your hands, you need not fear taking them out to restaurants. Encourage your children to try new things, but many meat dishes can be ordered plain, or without sauce, "sans sauce" in French. "Sans" means "without", and "sauce" is spelled the same in French as it is in English- just add a French accent and always remember to say s'il vous plait (please)! For culinary treats that your children will love try the following places and don't forget to try a crepe or two - they are tres magnifique!

Angelina - Favored by locals and tourists alike for its famous & fabulous hot chocolate! See for yourself if it's the best hot chocolate, as many have claimed. Address: 226 Rue de Rivoli, Metro: Tuileries

Berthillon Ice Cream - Paris' favorite ice cream-your kids are sure to become as addicted to it as much as the French children are!

Fauchon - The quintessential Parisian gourmet food market. Pick from prepared foods and desserts, or purchase the makings for your own picnic.

Paris may be considered the most romantic city in the world, but you can also make it into a wonderful destination for a fun family getaway! After your exploration in Paris how about a barge vacation with the family? France has a wonderful canal system all throughout this glorious country. You can pilot your own barge, similar to a houseboat. There is no license required, the boats cruise five miles per hour and the kids can help with the locks. Or if you want a little pampering after all your jet setting in Paris you can step aboard a fully crewed hotel barge and let the experienced crew takes care of you and your family. It is a fantastic way to add some inherent adventure to your sojourn to Paris. Your attentive crew will prepare gourmet meals for you, pamper you and tend to your every whim, while also escorting you to a variety of destinations for your daily excursions catering to every age.
