Chocolate Mousse (GF/DF)
Nov 2, 2025 · original
This recipe is dead simple and always a hit. It’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and packed with protein, so it’s perfect for anyone who needs extra protein, including kids and older adults. Tools: Blender or high-speed mixer Ceramic or glass bowl for melting the chocolate in the microwave Spatula for scraping the chocolate into the blender Bowl or serving dish with cover for refrigerating the pudding Ingredients: 1 container of silken tofu 1 cup of plain soy milk (I use Trader Joe’s plain soy milk) 2 tbsp real maple syrup 1 tbsp real vanilla extract ½ tsp almond extract 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips (I use the “Enjoy Life” brand) Steps: Put everything except the chocolate (the tofu, soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and almond extract) into the blender and blend well for about 2 minutes. Put the chocolate in a glass or ceramic bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds. Stir it with t
Alice’s Sauce
Oct 2, 2023 · original
Everybody I serve this to asks me for this recipe. The astrophysicist Priscilla Frisch recently requested the recipe and then named it “Alice’s Sauce,” and I’m thinking that is enough of an honor to post it. The recipe as shown calls for chopping everything by hand. You can cheat and throw it all in a food processor and just blend it all up. It’s better chopped by hand – you get the flavors coming through more intensely, I think – but in a pinch, I’ve done this with a machine. It comes out greener and smoother. Ingredients: 1/2 cup well-chopped fresh basil leaves 1/2 cup well-chopped fresh mint leaves juice of 2 limes (less if very juicy limes) 1 shallot section, minced finely (about 2 tablespoons) 2 big garlic cloves, minced finely (about 1.5 tablespoons) 3/4 cup of Sir Kensington “classic” mayonnaise (more if you want the sauce to be thicker) 1.5 tablespoons good olive oil pinch of sal
Birdseed Bread
Apr 12, 2023 · original
The list of things I can’t eat has become quite tiresome: gluten, dairy, tapioca (cassava), gums, faux sugars, and foods containing a lot of fat. Knowing my stupid diet, my good friend Ellen Weissbrod sent me a version of this bread recipe. It was entitled “Life-Changing Bread.” I snorted at the title. Now, I’m a convert. It’s satisfying to the mouth like real bread. It’s so easy to make. It freezes well. I can toast slices and take them with me on trips for several days. And it’s delicious! Warning: This bread is very high in protein…but also in fiber. The ingredient used to bind the seeds and nuts into a bread, psyllium husk powder, is also the main ingredient in Metamucil. So, you don’t want to eat too much of this in one sitting, or you’ll be sitting somewhere else for a long time. That said, the fiber in this bread is great for your gut. These are ingredients that will keep your mic
Masa Cornbread, Gluten- and Dairy-Free
May 12, 2022 · original
Gluten-free, dairy-free masa cornbread Ever since I got my mother a stand-up freezer for her garage and filled it with home-cooked, salt-free stews and the like, she’s been hooked on my turkey-bean chili, chowing it down herself but also serving it to her guests. On my most recent visit , my sister invited over a number of family friends that included one person who, like me, who can’t eat gluten or dairy. So, I decided since there were two of us in that position, I would finally attempt a gluten-free, dairy-free cornbread, to go with the chili my mom wanted me to serve to the crowd. I was particularly motivated because the other woman had just found out about her intolerances, and I wanted to signal to her that she needn’t get too depressed, because great eating can still happen even with these restrictions. I poked around for cornbread recipes online. I did not look for one that starte
Once More, with Feeling

This was a blog centered around my book, Galileo’s Middle Finger . The posts in this blog are shown in order of latest to earliest. That Weird, Calm Feeling : “Tonight, I have this weird, calm feeling that sometimes descends on me when a colleague is suddenly caught in a shitstorm.” Last Week at Wellesley : What are you supposed to do when a hundred students show up to protest someone you’re pretty sure isn’t you? Talks I’ll Be Giving This Academic Year : As I’m on the plane headed to give my first talk of the academic year, I’m looking at my speaking schedule delighted at the variety. Hiding Locally : The Chief of Police, a lovely fellow named Jeff, sometimes sits next to me at Council. He overlooks that I’ve brought a mason jar of red wine to go with my warmed-up dinner of leftover pasta. He’s packing, but he’s not packing because of anything I have said or written (or been said to hav

Cashew (or Peanut) Sauce
Apr 20, 2022 · original
This is a sauce I often make for summer grilling. It goes particularly well with grilled eggplant, mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, and chicken. Ingredients: cashew butter (about a cup; peanut butter can be substituted but is not as tasty) lite coconut milk (1 small can) finely-chopped yellow or white onion (about 1 cup) fresh ground ginger (about 1.5 tablespoons) ground cumin (about 2 teaspoons) ground cardamom (about 1 teaspoon) ground corriander (about 1 teaspoon) fresh lemon juice (from 1-2 lemons) How to make: As the quantities above suggest, this is really a “to taste” dish, so you should vary the ratios depending on how you like it. Making it is simple: Put everything except the lemon juice in a saucepan and heat it up on low until it is all well mixed. (It doesn’t need to cook.) Stir frequently to keep it from burning on the bottom. At the end, add the lemon juice, stir it all
Information about East Lansing Info

Here are some useful links related to East Lansing Info : My op-ed for The Guardian on the importance of nonpartisan local news The Membership Puzzle Project’s report on audience-engagement local news “About” East Lansing Info ELi’s 501c3 IRS application Tools for our citizen-reporters How does FOIA work? (explanation for ELi readers) “Your ELi” columns (explaining our work to our readers) Some insights from doing this for four years: You have to teach people what journalism is and why nonpartisan news is valuable. The #1 trait you need in a citizen reporter is the ability to write a story clearly. Team work helps correct for bias, especially if you purposefully diversify the team. Explain tough reporting decisions to your readers. (We do “Your ELi” columns.) Absorb your critics: ask them to report; put them on your Community Advisory Board.
