What the catbus? TOFU!?
Generally I am not a fan of stuff pretending to be other stuff. Those boca burgers that have fake grill marks and some odd imitation of grill flavor are just off-putting. I much prefer the Morningstar Black Bean Burgers from Costco (the Costco ones are bigger then the regular store ones), and they make a [...]
Elephant Repellent™
Ghost Chilis (Bhut Jolokia) have gotten a lot of press recently and are kinda the hip thing going in the hot chili circles. Standard issue is to use them in a hot sauce or eat them raw and film it. They have been called the hottest pepper in the world, but people will argue back and forth about it. [...]
ChefCamp @ Spence Farm
Note: I cannot overstate how great this event was. Marty & Kris & Co. put on an awesome weekend and it it was really inspiring to see the chefs on their day off busting their asses and brains to learn more about the food they work with. I didn’t write all the names down, please [...]
Village Sandwich
Maybe Hillary was right about the theory, just the target should have been sandwiches rather than kids. I love this neighborhood, we get together every other weekend for some sort of impromptu party. Be it beers and pizza in the driveway, or the worlds most eceltcic pot luck of crab-legs, penne with pesto and Stoufers [...]

Cured meat breakfast, you had me at hello
I am joyfully working my way through a selection of cured meats from Costco. I was able to reuse some of the ingredients from the Market Sandwich on the omelet stage. I have toasted Proscuitto for other dishes, and thought I should give Capocollo a whirl. The flavor is like some spicy love child of Proscuitto [...]
Garage art class
Our backyard neighbor Glenna Gow turned her garage into a very urban looking art studio for all the neighborhood kids. This short video collects 2 hours of surprisingly focused kids activity.
Market Sandwich
UGH, what a day. Dow dropping 1k+ points in two days. Political system pulling muscles pointing fingers and talking out of the sides of their mouths. What the hell are we to do? I dunno about you, but I am makin’ a freaking sandwich! Teri grabbed some sort of cured meat explosion at Costco, so [...]
Fresh Mango and Papaya Gazpacho
The Players 1/2 large papaya peeled and seeded 1 large mango peeled and pitted 5 cloves fresh garlic 5 small sweet peppers seeded 2 jalapeno peppers seeded 1/2 vidalia onion 1 small cucumber peeled 2 medium tomatoes 2 small ears sweet corn kernels 1/2 cup olive oil 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice fresh limes [...]
Pesto, pushing breakfast to 11
My experiment with Cashews in pesto was not only an economic success, but a victory for tongues throughout the house. The glorious side-effect was that I now had a lot of extra pesto around, but not enough to make a whole meal from. Mixing it into some Mayo elevated my turkey sandwich into “I would [...]
