This isn’t mine – I found this one over at The Fork Left Behind. I tried this recipe and followed it to the letter – which I don’t usually do. I salted the bird and let it sit in the fridge for 3 hours, then let it sit covered on the counter top cover for [...]

Inspired by a Quiche that Lee Kirsten posted on her blog, I decided to make one, so I riffed off her recipe a bit, using what I had at hand: 5 oz. package of baby kale the wife bought on sale and I could imagine no one eating 5 strips of bacon leftover from some [...]

Last night I made this, it came out quite good, and I thought I would share. This is yet another variation on what I’ve done before. It provides a meat and vegetable-filled dish similar to a chili or stew in consistency, and, covered in grated parmesan cheese, it not only awesome, but fills that hole [...]

I am an idiot. I only have a slight edge over some other idiots in that I am open to discovering that I am an idiot, so that I might actually learn something new, or discover, sometimes to my horror, how something I thought I knew was so blindingly wrong. For the past month, I [...]

One of the paradoxes in a consumer society like ours, is that to lose weight, to remove something, we are typically instructed to do so by consuming something else. It’s just how we’re taught: got a problem? Buy something to fix it. A lot of folks think that they can fix their crappy diet by popping [...]

I have a habit of noodling through an idea, then failing to follow through on it. Luckily, this blog helps me record these ideas when I come to revisit them from another angle. One of these ideas is the notion of food monotony I wrote about in January of 2010. I’ve come to disagree with [...]

I didn’t start out to create hot Italian sausage soup, but if you sat down to a bowl of the stuff pictured above, and I told you that was the name, you’d most likely agree that the name is appropriate. It being late summer in central New Jersey, tomatoes are in abundance, and we scored [...]

You know how you sometimes know things but really don’t know them? I had come across this article in the New York Daily News about veggie burgers. Veggie burgers are looked upon by many as superior replacement for the much-maligned hamburger made from ground up cows. Leaving out the fact that cows are considered a [...]

(A quick update for anyone who follows my personal weight loss story – I’m maintaining my weight loss at about 220 from my high of 237 from the fall of last year. There. Now you know.) You learn something new every day. These days, however, it seems what you learn is a bummer. Next up [...]

Life is way to serious to take ourselves too seriously. I think this video pokes fun at my own tendencies toward locavore and organic – perhaps you’ll enjoy it, too. I love that the waitress has a dossier on the chicken!
