Wordless Wednesday: Thanksgiving Recap
Sogalbi, A Meal, A Year
Today is this little site’s 1 year blogiversary. Here’s where I’m supposed to look back at the past year of posts and say, “Yay, I made it!” Nah, this post is looking straight ahead. More on that later. Let’s get down to the food first. A few weeks ago I was holed up in Cupertino, [...] Read More »

Vegan Umami Risotto
You may remember a few weeks ago I posted a recipe that didn’t interest me. I failed to adequately point out why. It didn’t have anything to do with the pork recipe itself. I made and ate it with roasted barley, and the potential I saw in that had me 209472789 times more stoked on [...] Read More »

Lobster Mac & Truffle Cheese
I may be stuck in a hotel without so much as a microwave or a good bottle of whiskey six pack of ginger ale clue, but that doesn’t mean I can’t find a way to cook. Check out how this pimp urban survivalist makes do (h/t Hugging The Coast): While I do have an iron, [...] Read More »

Rosemary & Thyme Chicken w/ Mirepoix Champagne Sauce
I enjoy creating mostly original recipes but sometimes you just have to throw down some basics and pump out a trusty good meal. Take a whole chicken, cook it in an oven with a time-tested herb combination and declare victory. Because of the “trusty” factor I’ve heard variations on this dish described as The One [...] Read More »
