Cooking – Fried and Spring

April 15, 2014

Been a minute since I’ve done a cooking update, and we ate some tasty foodstuffs the past couple of weekends which I must discuss with you. I always like cooking with my brother because we have similar tastes in many ways, and he’s open to just about any gut-busting project the internet can dream up. […]

Lasagne Verdi al Forno

December 4, 2013

When it comes down to it, my favorite, most comforting, and nostalgic dish to eat is this lasagna verdi from the Simili sisters of Bologna. I just recently found the recipe online, but for the almost ten years I’ve been cooking it, I was using a scanned copy of a copy my mother made me […]

Quick Chorizo Nachos

October 7, 2013

This is a fairly common snack for me. Just a few nachos, never stacked. If I have my way I eat a few little things throughout the day instead of stuffing myself. Really, my appetite isn’t what it used to be anyways. I’m over the whole “look at how much shit I can eat at […]

Hotter Hot Chicken

September 24, 2013

Hot chicken and I have been like ranch dressing and rednecks since it was introduced to me by a friend – inseparable.

Pressure Cooking

January 24, 2013

This Christmas I received a pressure cooker (Fagor Duo) and in just a few weeks it’s had a major impact on my cooking. I don’t know why I didn’t have one before, or why they are not more common. Apparently they used to be much less reliable, exploding every so often, but the new models […]

Favorite { Dining – Drinking – Cooking } of 2012

January 3, 2013

Happy New Year! 2012 was another big year of living, and though I’m not as diligent with the old blog anymore, my appetite remains. As in years past, I wanted to put together a few thoughts and photos from some of my favorite dining, cooking, and drinking moments from the year that was. Humble-brags…yes, fair; but […]

French Omelets

November 8, 2012

Apparently everyone had a tough time with the omelets last night on Top Chef. I can relate. It’s something I’ve been working on, as I continue to mimic my friend Rowdy, who wowed me with his omelet skills after a long night of wine “tasting”. Until I started watching the Jacque Pepin PBS show a couple […]
