December 18 » A Hot Mess

Sorry about the photo since those are some super sloppy seconds. Polenta may be the best vehicle for the consumption of butter and cheese at dinner without just straight out eating buttered cheddar, which, lets face it, the recession isn't that bad yet. Then again, that'd probably just be sardines for dinner. Back when I had the black and white lumberjack. I know you probably can't see it from the photo above, but really, there's some polenta under that hot ...

August 24 » Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

No, Julie didn't have a whirlwind romance with Barak Obama. Although I hope Google now returns this blog as a result for "Obama cheating." That would be hilarious. Since, well, you know, Republicans HATE good food. No, it was just my Dad. Conveniently he lives in the city so we have dinner on the occasion, but usually it's Julie and myself going over to his house for dinner, rather than the opposite. You know, the whole father/son relationship. Anyway, my ...

August 19 » The Fire is in Their Eyes

Billy Jean is not my lover. This chicken very may well be though. Last Saturday, for about the first time in three months or so, I decided to take an inventory of what was lurking in the back of the freezer. Figured it was about time to either use it or lose it. Sadly there were some surprises (pearl onions?), a few "oh, that's where that went" (chipotles, half a can of tomatoes), a bunch of "we need to eat ...

June 01 » Chicken Stew Provençal

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 ...

April 03 » Einsturzende Neuessen

You think you know what a money shot is? Unless you've seen this, you're totally wrong. I really wanted to make chicken pot pie this week. I really really did. I even put it on the menu, bought frozen peas and pearl onions. I took chicken out of the freezer to defrost. Like I really wanted to. But then I had the week from hell at work and have been retarded exhausted every night when I got home. So I haven't cooked this week ...
