Seder -- for twenty -- went fairly smoothly, much to my releif. With the exception of a couple of sauces, I performed no experiments. [more]
cabbages
I hope cabbage is good for me, because I seem to have eaten a great deal of it over the past few days -- starting with an improvised stew with vegetarian-ground-round-substitue and moving on to an over-tall ruben sandwich on homemade rye. [more]

You May Have Always Suspected It, But A Study Suggests That Women Do Cope With Stress Differently Than Men from PennState NewsWire

Study: Women Socialize Away Stress from ABC News.
I wonder whether there's been further research on this, and if so, what they might have found?
leftovers!
Last week's wilted green salad turned out just fine. Z has determined he's quite fond of the medley of flavors, whereas I preferred the simpler wilted spinach salad I made last month, that had only five ingredients. I did end up using orange segments, which I think was a great idea -- both because it was tasty and because we've got *way* too many oranges and apples at my house! [more]
further experimentation
Last night's meal turned out tasty and not at all what I was expecting.
The couscous with sundried tomatoes and raisins turned out much more flavorful than intended -- I'd forgotten how powerful sun-dried tomatoes tasted. They definitely dominated the dish, and the various greens and spices could have just as well been left out. The roasted sweet potato slices were okay; some were a little tough, some a little over-garlicky. The tough ones had too little olive oil, and the garlicky ones had, well, too much garlic. :) Some of them, however, were just right. Finally, I learned that Very Large leeks should be treated rather differently than leeks half their size -- while the recipe I was using suggested that the leeks be boiled for five minutes, these required more like thirty. Eventually, with the addition of white wine, molasses, and veggie-sausage, I had a reasonably tasty dish...which was nothing like the tender, mostly-undressed leek salad I'd been aiming for. Nobody seemed disappointed but me, so I think that means the meal was a success. [more]
