If it seems that I haven’t been posting much that I’ve actually cooked recently, there’s a good reason for that. I haven’t been very impressed with a lot of the things I’ve cooked lately. August, as you may recall, was ridiculous. School started a couple weeks ago and, contrary to my expectations (I’m being serious [...]
Continuing with the theme of “reasons I love my food processor,” I wanted to introduce you to this really delicious bread I made. Credit must be given where credit is due, this recipe is adapted from Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. He’s got a number of quick bread recipes in there, and [...]
I was really excited a couple months ago when I realized Mark Bittman had a new cookbook out. As frequent readers can attest, I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with Mr. Bittman. Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating had a big impact in changing the way I eat and How to Cook Everything Vegetarian is my [...]
Highlights for September 12-18 6 Ways to Organize Your Pantry from Zesty Cook. Which reminds me, I said I was going to reorganize my pantry…fridge…cabinets when I moved in a month ago. That still hasn’t happened. Maybe I’ll do that today. Or not …if I reorganize things then I might not know where the are. [...]
Clearly getting married and then getting settled into my new life has kept me busy, because I was totally unaware that Mark Bittman published a new cookbook early last month! (Thank goodness for Facebook!) The book, Kitchen Express: 404 Inspired Seasonal Dishes You Can Make in 20 Minutes or Less, has 101 recipes for each season [...]
I very much enjoyed taking the “Holier than Chow” quiz from Time Out New York. Your Score: 55 You’re a Discerning Diner. You know what you like and it often includes gussied-up grub. But you’re just as happy scarfing a Papaya Dog any day of the week. Really? I think I may be a bit [...]
Mark Bittman tweeted this great link this morning regarding school lunches. I completely agree with Gehry Oatey’s post, especially this line: Tellingly, I rarely see any teachers eating the school lunch. Seems strange that this needs to be said, but if it’s not good enough for us, why do we give it to our students? [...]
11:43: All I’ve eaten this morning was half a granola bar (still too sweet, I haven’t changed my mind) and a hand full of walnuts. I want real lunch. Time to finish the fried rice started this morning. 11:44: Gather ingredients: oil, bell pepper (green; you should’ve seen the produce selection at the supermarket last [...]
In these crazy times, its nice to get some good news. The Obama’s planted their vegetable garden. I realize I’m probably the last food blogger on the planet to write about it, life got busy and my Reader got out of control. For those who haven’t been paying attention, the NY Times reports that the [...]
Continuing with the Mark Bittman theme, I made granola bars last night based on the ones in How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. I’m not sure why I felt the pressing need to do so; I’m sure we have a giant Sam’s Club box of Quaker Chewy Granola Bars in the basement and I like those [...]
