Carrot & Fat Pork
Every other dinner I cook includes this dish because it is so quick to cook, in large part because I keep boxes of prepped vegetables in the refrigerator for instantaneous use. The cooking time is under 10 minutes in that case. The prep is only another 10 or 15 from scratch. What I Used Fat [...] Read More »
Pork Stomach & Celery
With 10 months between posts you might think I’ve given up on cooking food, that I’m resolved to drowning in buckets of KFC, frequenting ma la tang street stalls, and sampling the hundreds of restaurants within walking distance. But the truth is I’ve never cooked more in my life. Problem is, I’ve been cooking completely [...] Read More »
Wordless Wednesday: Thanksgiving Recap
Pork w/ Garlic Shallot Sage Butter
I could care less about this recipe. I had leftover pork tenderloin from a stir-fry dish the night before and needed to use it up. That’s not to say this isn’t tasty. A good cut of meat and herbs and butter and you’ll have a hard time going wrong. I’m just not much interested in [...] Read More »

A Glimpse At Process: First Draft Gumbo
I want your help. I NEED your help. But more on that later… Over a week ago Marc at No Recipes posted a kick-ass recipe (I know, ironic right?) for Shrimp and Duck Gumbo. I haven’t tried to cook gumbo in maybe four years. Reading through the post it became obvious I needed to give [...] Read More »
Traditional* Pozole
I include the caveat-indicating asterisk in the title of this post because I find the idea a bit absurd without it. What the hell is “traditional” Pozole? When you tell somebody you’re making Pozole you’ve really said little more than, “Hey, I’m going to cook something stewish with hominy and chiles.” With three colorful varieties [...] Read More »
White Boy Egg Rolls
If it isn’t obvious by now, I’m a relative noob when it comes to cooking. I started taking an interest in preparing food five years ago, during my second year of college, when I finally felt independence (no more dorms!) and food wasn’t constantly a stumble away. I started thinking about making tasty food four [...] Read More »
