Over the weekend, I tried out a new bread book – My Bread: The Revolutionary No-Work, No-Knead Method, by Jim Lahey. Lahey’s basic recipe is very similar to the basic Artisan Bread 5 Minutes a Day recipe in I’ve been working with for a year now. The biggest difference is the cooking method – in […]
Qunioa muffins are one of my favorite breakfasts – second only to long breakfasts over a selection of raw milk cheeses – they’re dense as dark matter and full of mouthfeel. And, I’m tired of Googling for this recipe when I’m in the mood to make these for breakfast. So, I’m posting it here, so […]
In Hometown Tales #189, Gene describes a pretty tasty variation of the Juicy Lucy It might be the first Jucy Lucy Resturant east of Georgia, but I’ll leave final judgement to Ed, Dave, Scott, and the other experts.
One of the things I still miss from our time in the Central Street neighborhood in Evanston is the HomeMade Pizza Company take-n-bake pizza. Clean, open storefronts, amazing ingredients. Cooked up in the comfort of your own home. My favorites are the Spinach Pie and the Savory Pie. Both are so much tastier than Davanni’s […]

Every wonder why there aren’t as many open-face sandwiches for sale in your local supermarket. No?…..well, it’s political: “USDA inspects manufacturers of packaged open-face meat or poultry sandwiches (e.g., those with one slice of bread), but FDA inspects manufacturers of packaged closed-face meat or poultry sandwiches (e.g., those with two slices of bread).” – U.S. […]
The best news I’ve heard in a while – High Fructose Corn Syrup isn’t ‘all natural’. The Center for Science in the Public Interest sued Kraft and Cadbury Schweppes until they agreed.
There’s been more than a couple times I’ve ordered something to drink or eat out with family and the order gets mixed up and we don’t realize it until I’ve already eaten not my order. Turns out, unless the food’s flavors are obvious, loud, and complex, I don’t notice them. This so clearly explains why […]
