Bartaco

October 5, 2015

It’s lame that I want to start every post I write with an explanation of why I don’t post anymore. I always hated reading blogs that do that. I’m trying to find ways to juggle family life, grad school, and work, and I’m making some progress. I even got to cook this weekend – breakfast for […]

Tortilla

June 17, 2015

My father had surgery on both feet last week, so he’s laid up and generous friends have been dropping off food to make life a bit easier. Our friends Alba and Javi, who relocated from Barcelona to Greenville a few years ago, dropped off this beautiful tortilla, a Spanish omelet of potato and onion and egg. […]

Cooks & Soldiers

May 7, 2015

Though posts are sparse these days, I do take a lot of photos (many can be found on Instagram) but while I can pop the contrast and brightness and make most anything appear #vividdelish, I generally offer little opinion on those short posts.

January 7, 2015

Just two months ago Asheville was a topic on this formerly Atlantan site, but guess what, you’re about to be force-fed Asheville again, but in tapas format, which is more manageable, and great for sharing! It was the holiday season and I took wifey to the Biltmore, which I’d never seen, and even on a dreary […]

José Andrés Salt Wrinkled Potatoes

May 21, 2014

You should try this recipe for José Andrés’ salt boiled/wrinkled potatoes. You slow simmer small potatoes in a TON of salt, then pour off most of the water when tender and cook until the water evaporates and the salt crystallizes on the surface of the potatoes. Then you cover and let the potatoes wrinkle a bit. It’s sort of […]

One Year

August 13, 2012

2008 was a notable year for me. It did not start favorably when a five year relationship ended, in quite poor form by yours truly. In Nashville I completed my first marathon, not quite breaking my goal of four hours, due to an untimely restroom stop. Later in the year I sampled my first taste […]
