Perhaps you haven't heard, it's still cold in the northeast. But that's okay. That's why there are things like coats and boots. Besides, all this cold and snow is a great excuse for comfort food. This fish has a fancy name, Sole Meunière. In reality, though, I used a different sauce and it's not so intimidating as the name might make it sound.Thinking back, maybe I should have left the sauce

"Hello... Woah. You look like a wet cat." This is how I was greeted tonight. Granted, I probably looked a fright. It was raining pretty hard. There's no shelter where I wait for the bus. I had cold, wet water running down my head, ears, neck, back for longer than I care to think about or admit.Good thing I was already planning a delicious, soul warming dinner. Truth be told, I've been planning

Lies, all lies. I promised you design or food. This post is about neither.This weekend, I went on a great adventure. The drive wasn't long. The company was grand and the place was effing amazing. I'm talking about an arcade called Pinball Wizard.I'm not a big gamer. When growing up, we visited the mini golf courses more than the arcades. The beaches I visited didn't have board walks.

Hello, internet! It's been a very long time since my last post. I know. And for that I'm sorry. I am back now, for real this time, promise.I've been talking to friends lately and doing a lot of thinking. The result is I really want to get back into writing. Over the past year, I haven't gotten back into it for a million reasons. All those reasons, for the most part, are resolved now. I have a new

This is an actual, factual website I had to seek out as part of my Thanksgiving meal planning.http://stilltasty.com/fooditems/index/17669There are reasons for the title of my blog. And don't worry, I'm recommending to not use the year and a half past its expiration mayonnaise despite the website saying it's safe to eat.

Being the first week of the month, it's Hobo Tuesday time. I actually made this on Tuesday too. Forgive me, it's been a busy week, and that's why I'm only posting now. Truth be told, I'm not actually sorry and there's nothing you can do about it, so you'll just have to deal.Luckily for both you and me, this ended up being a very delicious dinner that pulled double duty, creating a full fledged 2

I was going have the title read something to the effect of "Supreme Court be damned," but I didn't feel like damning the highest court in the land. I may not agree with all their decisions, but there's no need to be rash. And in this case, I think that tomato is a fruit, no matter what they want to tax. So, for the fruit-requisite Tight-Ass Tuesday, I needed a dish laden with the controversial

Here we are in the final week of Whip It Up. The theme calls for take away made at home. Originally I was thinking to finally tackle making my own pizza, dough and all. But that requires things like time and planning. Neither of which have been a real strong suite of late. Plus, it's been hot as hell. This means any energy I might have had has been sucked out. Don't get me wrong, I'm not

For now, it seems these posts are getting worse and worse. However, tonight, I promise you a recipe! Instructions! Comments! and Pictures!!1! In the mean time, I found a recipe for Franklin Cafe's signature Turkey Meatloaf with Chive Mashed Potatoes and Fig Gravy. (I promise to even include the measurements for, oh, say, 1 lb of ground turkey, instead of, you know, 30 lbs)I was away all last week

This post will have no pictures and be very brief. I'm at the beach - be happy I'm on the computer at all.Not wanting to spend much time in the kitchen, not wanting to turn on the oven and in a flurry of unpacking, I kept this week's choice exceptionally simple. Don't worry, I was sure to not skimp on the scrumptious factor.This is, apparently, the Best Tzatziki Sauce Ever. Well, maybe I added

So remember that blog, Thursday Night Smackdown, I mentioned finding back in July? Or posted a submission for 5 days ago?? Well, typically on Thursdays she posts a new dish she's never made. Pushing the boundaries of the kitchen and discovering flavors, techniques and general kitchen adventures. As with what will happen to the best of us, she just didn't have it in her this week. I must admit, I

Tuesday is kickball night in the summer, and there is no way I'm going to be able to make anything when I get home from a double header tomorrow night. I'm going to be much more interested in beers and relaxation.And with that, I decided to create my hobo submission this evening. I hope that Michelle and the other hobos can forgive me. Especially if I mention that on top of moving, there has been

So. A few apologies first.Sorry for the lack of pictures in this post. They're locked away in my camera until I can find the associated cord. Silly me didn't have my memory card in the camera whilst taking them and I was hoping to find the cord while packing. This didn't happen.The second apology is for missing the deadline. All that packing I was doing was so that I could move. This past weekend

Smitten Kitchen is one of my absolute favorite cooking blogs. She's far more a baker than I am. Baking involves things like being able to follow directions, measuring and correct ingredients. These, are not my strong suites.But when I saw her post for a Best Birthday Cake, I thought it was the cutest thing ever and wanted to try it. Except that (any day now) I'm a whole year away from a first

Tom Yum is one of my favorite soups of all time. It's absolutely part of how I judge and remember a Thai food restaurant. Part of what I loved was the crisp, sweet spiciness of the cauliflower in the dish. The green beans weren't too shabby either.So when I got both cauliflower and green beans in my farm share last week - I needed to try to emulate the wonderful, wonderful result that is

(See that picture next to it? That's what it was "supposed" to look like.)This week's challenge is a healthy option. I (generally) try to eat well on a day to day basis. And because of this, I know that the (not so) occasional craving hits for something that is (far, far) less than healthy. So, why not take this week's challenge and embrace those cravings - just in a version that wouldn't derail

I've lived in Boston since the fall of 2001. I guess that makes it just shy of 8 years. Since I've moved, I've been made aware, time and again, that there are a number of New England traditions of which Connecticut is entirely unaware. There's no clam bakes - but perhaps that can be blamed on the shore line being entirely taken up by the Long Island Sound, and not an ocean (by any stretch of the

I have, what is probably an irrational, distinct dislike of Martha Stewart. So imagine my surprise when trying to figure out what was in my farm share last week and then figuring out what to do with my apparent fava beans, I came across a person who modified a Martha Stewart recipe that I wanted to try.But then when I went to make it tonight, I figured out I had only the orzo and shallots. And so

Since starting this blog, something has become more and more obvious to me.I direly need a new camera. The one I have is only a few years old. However, it takes forever to turn on, does not have a micro-zoom (or whatever the take pictures of things, like food, close up feature is called), somehow it needs to be really bright or the picture comes out fuzzy, even with the flash a lot of the

That's right, a guilty pleasure. In regards to this, I think most people would automatically jump to dessert. The really rich, ooey-gooey stuff. Probably involving lots of chocolate, maybe some peanut butter. Or brown butter. But then, I've never been much of a dessert person.I'm also not much of a chain restaurant person. I like eating local, supporting local business and seeing what the best

I've recently discovered a new food blog. And I love it. She's snarky, smart and interesting. The food looks amazing. And she hated Stefan from last season's Top Chef almost as much as I did. (almost because I didn't care if it was Josea winning... just anyone but that cocky jackass)Seriously. You should check out Thursday Night Smackdown.

So here it is, the last day to post on what I made for Whip It Up. Way to wait to the last minute, right? Well, would it make you feel any better if you knew that I started it last Saturday? No, I guess not. I could tell you about how I'm tired or have been busy, or spent yesterday baking in the sun next to the river. But you're probably here for the cake.This week's theme of "holiday" favorites

First, sorry for the infrequency of posts lately (always?). Suffice it to say, work's been very busy, I've been in the midst of doing some fundraisers through Tastefully Simple as well as trying to get party food kits to hosts and probably lots of other excuses I won't bore you with. But that's probably all they are. Excuses.Today was race day. Over 20,000 people woke up this morning with their

I'm even prouder to report that this is not solely due to efforts on the part of boy.Percocet in tow (yes, I'm still on that over a week later), I joined some friends in helping out at a local school.

You see, I'm very smart. Lately, I've had little to no free time in my life. For that matter, I haven't had enough time to do the things on my list. As such, things like "fold laundry" or "read*" have fallen by the wayside.

I forget exactly who sent me this website. (it might have been Matt) I forget exactly what day it was on. (somewhere in the middle there. Wednesday? Thursday?) I just know it's been a long few weeks and it probably won't let up until at least the new year. And this website has been wonderful in helping me get through it:Puppies.enjoy.

I'm always amazed when I'm reminded of how much certain neighborhoods (okay, i guess they're their own town, but they're part of the very immediate Boston Metro Area) are not looked upon kindly by their neighbors. Namely, Alston and Roxbury. I know definitively of two schools that go to great lengths to ensure that they have only Boston, not Roxbury addresses. Same goes for Alston.But it seems

Apparently, when I decide to roast something for dinner, I decide to roast everything. (almost)I had never roasted a chicken before, but suddenly had a hankering to do so. I had never even really been in charge of the turkey, no matter how much I do for Thanksgiving. For a first attempt, I'd say I did pretty damn well.With all the apples sitting in my kitchen, taunting me, daring me to try to use

Until about a year ago, I don't think I had ever heard of a Tarte Tatin. My family tends to cook simple, good food. Desserts are more in the pie, cake, cookie family occasionally straying to blintzes or sufgoniot. And then one lovely friend started talking about the one that she makes as well as the one at Petit Robert Bistro. (a restaurant that is heaven on earth, btw)So when a recipe for an

Relaxation, pretty leaves, and hiking were the goal for this past weekend. With the Berkshire's all booked up with people from around the world wanting to get a taste of fall in New England, we decided to head to a less populated place this time of year - The Ocean. Fortunately for us, Maine has the best of all worlds - ocean, leaves, hiking, and small town quaintness.The weekend was perfect.We

With Rosh Hashanah comes round challah. Living on my own, I can't get through half a loaf on my own before it gets stale and unenjoyable, even with the help of boy. Good thing challah makes such good french toast.Wanting to bring in the new year with a little extra sweetness, as is the tradition, and the bread being challah, I modified the batter ever so slightly from typical french toast.All my

Matt makes fun of me, almost nightly, for passing out. Sometimes on the couch, sometimes on the bed, but almost always prior to the intended sleep time. (since I have more things I want to do - no not that, dirty, dirty readers)I attribute this phenomenon to how I'm constantly going going going during the day/evening/night, so the moment I stop, my body takes the opportunity to make me stop full

I'm a big enough person to admit when I'm wrong.Anyone that has known me for any significant period of time has probably heard me dis Connecticut, my home state, time and again. It's a big suburb. It's boring. Much of the state is close minded. It's boring. I'm sure there are worse states, but I'm not familiar enough with any of them to speak knowledgeably about the subject. Suffice it to say,

Yesterday, being a typical fall day in New England, boy, friends and I decided to venture out in search of apples. The orchard we ended up with was a "buy a bag" orchard. $20 for half a bushel, and half a bushel we got.Now the quandry: what to do with all the apples.So far, the following has been proposed/thought of:Apple Crumb PieApple ButterApple SauceApple Tartarin with PomegranateApple

It was raining today, a lot. Though the rain was on and off for most of today, every time I was outside, it was raining heavily. When I got my lunch, when I went to and returned from a meeting, when I left work and then when I left the grocery store on the way to my friend's.I missed the T by about a minute. And I blame the old man.When I was leaving Shaw's, there was an old man standing in the

If you had talked to me in February or March about the Presidential race and the Primaries, I would have railed on that I was tired of promises and wanted to see action. The majority of the candidates on both sides were Senators. They could write legislation and get the ball rolling on all their campaign promises. Issues like healthcare and the national debt could begin to be resolved. And

(When I move you move...just like that. Kidding)I've been mulling around the idea of a blog for a while. I really enjoy writing and have random thoughts from time to time, with no outlet other than my friends. Unfortunately, more and more of them are moving away. I was thinking about it the other day, and this may be another way to keep them informed as to what I'm doing. A discussion with my
