Seafood Paella
I first encountered a paella recipe 25 years ago, in The New York Times 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey, one of the books I used at the beginning of my continuing Great Cooking Adventure. It appeared to have all of … Continue reading
Game Hens Broil-Roasted in Wine with a Giant Straw Potato Galette
This is another old-school Julia Child recipe, from the Julia Child and More Company cookbook — a collection of recipes from the television series of the same name. It replaced the pork tenderloin dinner as my go-to for impressing guests … Continue reading
Market Futures
Another shopping day at the Union Square Farmer’s Market. It was sunny today, so all the food tourists were out. I kept tripping over leashes — shouldn’t dogs be kept away from the food? Fortunately the lack of canine etiquette … Continue reading

This is a quick one, mentioned in the previous Food Mashup post. Make this recipe soon, while asparagus are still pencil-thin. I saw Anne Burrell make this recipe on Food Network. It couldn’t be simpler. Start with an entire bunch … Continue reading

Leftovers = Food Mashups
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, it should be no secret that I am a sucker for well-constructed mashups. Find a clever way to combine previously available elements, and I’m your new best friend. Although my audio/video … Continue reading
Ethnic Pork Preparations Lead to Judicial Activism
I wish this wasn’t true, but it is. Senate Republicans are focusing on a speech made by Supreme Court nominee Sonya Sotomayor in 2001 at Berkeley. As reported by The Hill, a conservative news site: Sotomayor also claimed: “For me, … Continue reading
Desserts, Demystified
Dave Kellett, author/artist of the Sheldon web comic, provided this helpful graph on Sunday: You can view it full-sized here. And, for the record, I couldn’t agree more with his exhaustively researched conclusions.
