I know. Two pasta dishes in a week that are devilishly similar, yet deliciously different. What was that I was saying about less land-based mammal meat? Eh. Some ground lamb would have been amazing in this. But, alas. Julie is not a fan of it, and I like to make sure she's gonna eat dinner too. (I know! Not a fan of lamb? And to think I'm marrying her in twelve days!) The bounty of our farm share has finally starting paying off in things ...

I have nothing pithy to say about this photo at all. I mean look at it. It's delicious. I hope you don't eat your monitor. I've been trying to eat a lot more fish as of late and a lot less other meats. Luckily we don't really eat much lamb, beef or pork at home, but I figure even less land-based mammal consumption would be a good thing. Thankfully the farmers market has been in full swing with the day-boat fish guy, which has been ...

This one is dedicated to all the math teachers out there who believed in me. Who thought I could. Who knew I could. This one? This one is for you. Well. There are two things painfully obvious: 1. I need to stop listening to a lot of hip hop 2. I made another pie. I just can't stop. I've decided this summer that I would dedicate myself to the art of making delicious pies. OK. So I just decided that now. But like, hey, ...

Seriously. That pasta? Up there? Totally made out of hot dogs. I'm not joking. It's 100% pure kosher franks. Also, I'm the fucking tooth fairy. Sadly this post is not about hot dogs. No wieners. No foot longs. No red hots. Nary a Weißwurst in sight. My kitchen is so casing-free it'd being even the most tenacious Teuton to tears. I mean, for Christ, there's not even any meat in that picture. I will even make the claim that not one. single. animal. died for ...

When you were a kid did you ever imagine that carrots were the toes of some crazy massive orange like monster that lived in gardens? I ate a lot of paint chips... This winter Julie and I paid a bunch of money to some hippies who had a deal with a farm out on Long Island (oddly enough super close to where my grandmother lives.) But this weekend was the first pick up for the farm produce and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I ...

Its way too hot to cook so until the mercury comes down below 85°F outside, I'm out of here.

So what if there's no top piece of crust. So what if I'm not good at making pies look good. Does your stomach care? Who was the first person to figure out that while you could eat the stalks of the rhubarb plant, the leaves were poisonous? I mean, it would take nearly 100 pounds of rhubarb leaves to get even a decent chance of killing me. And the leaves are, apparently, quite bitter and non-that-tasty. But when it comes to the stems? Oh man. ...

I've never been to Provence, but if this is what it tastes like my mouth already loves it. Holy crap. It's been nearly a month since I last posted. Well, don't fret. It's not like I made a lot of food that I didn't tell you about. Although there was more fresh pasta. And more fish with lentils. And strawberry shortcake. But, to be honest, nothing new. Until like the 15th of the month. Thats when I made this. I just plugged the camera in ...
