Potato-leek soup

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Let’s face it, you’re not going to impress anyone with the looks of this soup. It looks like wallpaper paste.

It tastes considerably better.

If it’s not sloppy, is it just a “a joe?”

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Simplicity is the essence of the sloppy joe — meat + canned product + bun = done — and there’s something slightly pompous about a sloppy joe made from scratch.
Still, when I saw a FreshDirect One-Click Recipe for Not-So-Sloppy Joes (and seeing as No matches were found for “manwich” on FreshDirect1 ), I decided […]

Broccolini, my new vegetable love

Friday, April 13th, 2007

I don’t even remember why I bought it. Maybe I was going to buy broccoli rabe, but it was more expensive, or FreshDirect just had it on sale last week. Either way, I recently bought two bunches of broccolini. Or Broccolini® as I’m sure Mann Packing, its distributor, would rather I refer to it.
It looks […]

Homely food needs love, too.

Sometimes I cook something that’s, well, not-so-pretty and I think, should I really bother to post this? it looks kinda bad.
However, I recently got My French Kitchen from the library (written by Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat) and I’m so enamored with it, I’m posting this anyway, its ugliness be damned.

Pork Chop with Mustard Sauce
The […]

Looks like a formula, feels like a recipe.

Monday, March 12th, 2007

You’re looking at one of my favorite things to make. Usually, I just make this with whatever I have on hand, although sometimes I think ahead and grab something specific I know I’ll want in it: in this case, I thought to pick up some really nice French feta from Fresh Direct.
It doesn’t really have […]

The best, easiest thing I’ve made in ages:

Sweet-Sour Red Cabbage

1 small head red cabbage
3 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp salt

Shred cabbage. Bring remaining ingredients to a boil. Add cabbage. Reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for one hour. Serve as is, or with a little sour cream.
I’m just so pleased with this recipe. Years ago, I ate something […]

Kristen to Old Man Winter: Drop Dead

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

I am so fucking tired of winter.
An entire February of cold, grey, depressing days — not even broken up by any real snowfall — has exhausted my patience with winter. Start up the daffodils and robins already, because I am so done with all this wintery shit.
So much so, I went out of my way […]

Yatta!

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

I did it! I cooked fish — my final food frontier! Here’s a somewhat crappy photo to prove it!

That is a piece of sesame-(semi)crusted tilapia. It was great; the fish was firm and flaky, and the sesame seeds took on a lovely toasty flavor.
The best part, though? The wasabi-ponzu sauce. Sweet sassy molassy — I’m […]

Guess the dessert:

Is that a picture of:

chocolate pot de creme?
chocolate mousse?
chocolate pudding?

A valentine of sorts.

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

Thanks to MySpace, I recently got back in touch with Paula, who had been my best friend for a number of years when I was a kid. For a couple years of that friendship, we lived within walking distance of each other and we were in and out of each other’s houses on a regular […]
