You May Be A Lazy Shit, But Your Grandchildren Will Cook

Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense Of Food, gave an interview on NPR on the same topic as his latest New York Times Magazine piece. You should seriously listen and read, but since we both know you’re a lazy shit here is the basic premise: People are cooking less and watching [...] Read More »

Lamb Slider w/ Arugula Gremolata & Gorgonzola Mayonnaise

Cucumber Tofu Salad

Stupid Taco Bell commercial. Ok, so I know they’re all pretty bad, but you may recognize this one that has been running recently. I’d show you the real ad on Youtube but I guess the folks behind the Volcano Burrito don’t want to take advantage of free advertising. Smart. Not. Two stereotypical [...] Read More »

Duck In Flame Retardant

“Oh shit.” Jaime said it first and when I turned around it became immediately obvious. The white smoke that had been streaming from the three inch gap at the top of the oven was now black. Something was wrong. Something was on fire. I kill the heat. When I open the oven door to inspect, [...] Read More »
