Cream Cheese and Sass

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

I was in the neighborhood coffee joint this morning for my caffeine and calories. After I'd served myself a cup of the black... I : Actually, can I get a bagel and cream cheese as well? He: Uh, yeah. Just a minute. I : No problem, bro. I paid for the roll. I ...

Frittata di Giorno

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

  What probably looks to you like a decent penne rigate con salsiccia fresca is actually the jumping off point for a Sunday afternoon repast. I sliced cooked Italian sausages, diced a bit of prosciutto, chopped some parsley and sauteed it all up with sliced onions and garlic. Easy. Then I ...

Crab+Bacon+Walnut=Ravioli

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

First, I got to work on the filling. I had Dungeness crab and bacon, and decided to bind them with potatoes and walnuts. Of course, merely mashing up two potatoes wasn't enough for me. No, I actually made a micro-batch of fresh shrimp stock from shells, carrot, onion, celery, parsley, ...

Watching Cheese Ripen

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Lovers of real Cheddar cheese from real England will turn a somersault over Somerset, England's West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers in Shepton Mallet. They've finally given us the transparency we so sorely need at cheddarvision.tv.

I want the funk uncut.

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

All at once, I'm giving a new format and a new feature a spin today. Such daredevilry is most often the jurisdiction of heros, emperors and utter fools, and I am, without question, no emperor or hero. Older articles with larger images will probably look wonky until I get ...

A Recollection of Istria

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

Heading from Zagreb to the Istrian peninsula is a bit like bidding farewell to a tipsy uncle at a boisterous family gathering as you retreat to the peace of a rustic cottage in a cool, quiet forest. I’d arrived in Croatia’s easygoing capital a few days earlier on my first ...

The Last of the Yesterturkey

Monday, December 4th, 2006

It ends today. Aw, sweet geez, it's fried slices of an extremely dense soufflé made from The Last of the Yesterturkey, unused herb stuffing nuggets, cheddar, cream cheese and many eggs. The very least I could have done was use turkey eggs, but I couldn't find any. Why don't people eat ...

Sea Biscuits

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

Cooking and eating are, for me, two very distinctly seperate pleasures. Oddly enough, the detached tranquility that creativity in the kitchen confers upon me is infrequently accompanied by a desire to eat what's been created. In my little world, the inspiration to cook usually begins with hunger - or at ...

Porkburger

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

The pork part was a mistake. The burger part wasn't. The story doesn't bear repeating here. No, there's no beef in this burger, but to one pound of ground pork, I added an egg, a handful of chopped Italian parsley, three tablespoons each of water and extra virgin olive oil, and ...
