Como esta, Bitches! I’m going to roast a chicken in the near future, and while I have several recipes to choose from (if I don’t just decide to Walk With The Queen), I am open to any hints, tips or general advice you may care to offer. Because I’ve never cooked chicken before. Shocking, isn’t [...]

Submitted for your consideration: the website of the Exposition Universelle des Vins et Spiriteux. Of particular interest is the library portion of the site, where you can find digitized versions of vintage cocktail books in a pdf format. Research your way to reviving long forgotten drinks, such as the American Glory (on p. 267), a [...] What am I loving right now? Our slow cooker, for one thing. Saturday afternoon I spent an hour or so chop chop chopping away at a stack o’ vegetables. Some went into the pot immediately as chili, which simmered away while I was out for the evening. The rest went into the cooker on Sunday [...] I’m going to be right up front about this thing here. I never had any Jordan Marsh blueberry muffins. I was a Pewter Pot guy; Nana went there and thus did I. Both Jordan Marsh and the Pewter Pot have vanished, all part of the increasing homogenization of Boston and New England. The blueberry muffins [...] If you follow my del.icio.us links at all (which seem to have momentarily vanished from the sidebar), you may have noticed a sudden surge of recipes involving andouille, owing to the fact that this past Saturday I brought some home from Savenor’s, aka The House of Temptation. I plan on cooking them this weekend ,and [...] Submitted for your consideration: a cookbook featuring recipes from classic children’s literature. The author’s website and blog can be found here. Speaking of books, there was a particular title I was hoping to come across Saturday (but didn’t). Different folks have recommended Heat and The Apprentice as books that someone with an interest in cooking would enjoy, and I intend to read both. But I’ve also heard tell of another cooking-related book I want to find [...] Last week The Intended told me that I shouldn’t make any plans for the coming Saturday, as she had a surprise in mind for me. So Saturday came and we got in the car, and drove. And drove, and drove. And we wound up – Surprise! – at a bookstore. Namely this one, the Montague [...] Not only was I unaware that such a thing as the Culinary Arts Museum existed, I had no idea there was an entire exhibit devoted to diners. Might be a nice day trip, if you can get there before June of this year (when the exhibit ends). Between the collections that The Intended and I brought along when we moved in together (and two recent purchases en route), there’s a fair number of cookbooks lining the shelf in our kitchen. So what I’m kind of curious about is – do folks treat their cookbooks strictly as reference material, plucking them from the [...] Right then. As I talked about earlier, the inaugural use of the mandoline was in making ratatouille, using a recipe I found at SmittenKitchen. It was quite tasty, though as the following pictures show, I won’t be winning any awards for presentation in the near future: [...] I’m contemplating trying this recipe for ratatouille for my inaugural use of our new mandoline. Now that we have a mandoline, the only kitchen gadget I can think of that we’re lacking is a hand mixer, which would be useful for my specialty – soups.* The question is – do any of my dozen or [...] 21 great uses for beer. (Apart from drinking it of course.) One thing I’d like to do more of this year is cook. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a resolution though, more like a vague determination. Between both our busy schedules, neither The Girl nor I did a lot of cooking as 2007 wound down, so ideally we’ll have some more home-cooked [...] The papers have been submitted and last night I delivered my presentation. Barring one final assignment, my second semester of library school is (just about) over. My social life will revive accordingly beginning this weekend, and just in time for the holidays. Speaking of holidays, here’s a couple of drinky links for my three or [...] |
