Black bean and kale cornmeal cakes with fresh avocado cucumber salsa Black bean and kale cornmeal cakes with fresh avocado cucumber salsa By Out of the Ordinary 04/03/13 20:25 I’m reading Roderick Hudson at the moment. It’s Henry James’ “first serious attempt at a full-length novel,” and it’s quite fascinating. It’s youthful and ambitious, and about youth and ambition, which seems so sweetly unselfconscious to me. James tells...

White bean and tomato bisque with fennel, black olives and red peppers White bean and tomato bisque with fennel, black olives and red peppers By Out of the Ordinary 11/28/12 22:13 Our little Clio is overbearing.
