Charcutepalooza!
I follow Michael Ruhlman on Twitter, and recently noticed that many of his retweets contained the #charcutepalooza hashtag. A quick search turned up this page, which explains that Charcutepalooza is a year-long series of monthly challenges in which a different … Continue reading
Market Meltdown
I don’t go through winter vegetables as quickly as I do summer fare, so I can usually wait out bad weekend weather before braving the winter farmer’s market. It also helps when the huge piles of snow in the parking … Continue reading
Sausages and Laws*
This was gong to be a straightforward post about my first attempt at making sausage, but I realized that I was engaging in Urban Homesteadingâ„¢, a term that is the center of a ridiculous trademark infringement claim by the Devraes … Continue reading
Boiled Chicken, Leeks, and Aïoli
Boiling gets a bad rap as a cooking technique. It’s too easy to over-boil something and wind up with mushy vegetables and tasteless meat, which is the usual condemnation of British food. But in the hands of an attentive chef … Continue reading
Recipes for Success?
When I began cooking for myself, someone bought me a subscription for a set of 60 Minute Gourmet recipe cards. Every month twelve cards would arrive, each bearing a new recipe, with each set attempting to maintain a balance between … Continue reading

Apple and Cheddar Risotto
I have always had a love/hate relationship with risotto. It wasn’t a staple in my family’s Italian-American kitchens, but when I discovered it later, it became one of my favorite dishes. I love eating risotto, but I hate cooking it. … Continue reading
Crisp-Braised Duck Legs
I don’t know what surprised me more: learning that Mark Bittman will no longer be writing his Minimalist cooking column for The New York Times, or learning that he had written 700 columns over the course of thirteen years. He … Continue reading
A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again, Part 3
Today I discovered another supposedly fun thing I’l never do again: standing on my side roof and shoveling show off it to prevent structural damage. I no longer have any place to put more snow, so if you’d like some … Continue reading
