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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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.
