January 23 » I Don't Normally Do This

But, for you guys, I'll make an exception. I'm actually going to review a restaurant. I went to go see my coworker Tony speak at an NYC CHI event last night (remember, I do have a real day job here), and afterwards we were very hungry. Tony brought up the idea of bone marrow. Now I'm not the hugest bone marrow fan ...

January 22 » Woah. I'm Like, Famous, Or Something

I am now a guest blogger on Snooth. It's a great wine site for all your oenophile needs!

January 15 » Ain't No Party Like A Pot Luck Dinner Party

Because a pot luck dinner party don't stop. Also, let me say this, and I will only say this once, so, please, listen up. Lamb is the king of red meat. It takes so kindly to so many more and varied flavors than beef, it's usually cheaper, and, for the most part, contains less fat and cholesterol. Julie and I decided last week to have a last minute impromptu engagement-type post holiday pot luck last Saturday. Although I've come to realize that "potluck" for most of my friends means "bring booze or ...

January 15 » Bread Is Sticky Business

No-Knead Bread by Fuzuoko No, sadly, that's not the loaf of bread I managed to turn out on Saturday. Not that my bread was bad. No, not at all. It just, well, looked horrible. After about an hour of kneading the bread it still felt too sticky, but I was exhausted and my arms and shoulders were sore from the word, so I left it to rise for an hour and a half and went to brunch. When I got back the dough had easily doubled in volume, ...

January 15 » A Simple Meal For a Late Night

Apparently I have to get back into the habit of posting about dinner right after eating dinner or I don't actually get it done. I've got a back log now of food to write about, so don't worry, I hope to have a bunch of stuff up over the next 24 hours. (I've got to unload a few photos off my camera as well.) One of the few things that I wish I could change when I cook is the amount of time it takes to ...

January 09 » Fermentation is the Best -Mentation

Bread by Farlane from Flickr If I was on behest to make New Years resolutions, there are only a few I would make. And amazingly most of them involve some sort of fermentation. Anyway, diets are so boring. That's why I go to the gym. But one of them would be to definitely bake more bread (The other? Brew beer). The problem is that the few cookbooks that I have that touch on the subject of bread always contain something like: "Sourdough is too hard to make ...

January 07 » It's Not That I Don't Love You All Anymore

It's not that I don't love you anymore, just through a myriad number of reasons I haven't been blogging. First there was Christmas so I was away for a week and a half with Julie's family. While there though I made Chili and Mac and Cheese (sorry no photos), but I've already blogged about my Chili (same recipe almost), and the Mac and Cheese was simple so I didn't feel like writing it up. When I make it a little more decadent I'll post that. Then we got back and I was tired ...
