anchovy paste, capers, lemon juice, lemon zest, mascarpone cheese, olive oil, parsley, scallion, Tuna, wine vinegar
This is a great little appetizer to whip up at a moment’s notice. Smear it on a bland, buttery cracker, and you think it’s perfect. But stuffed into one of the little sweet-hot round peppers that you can find on the olive bar…you know the ones, it’s stupendous. Continue reading

Golden Berries. Have you heard of these sunny, little orbs? They are also referred to as Peruvian Grouncherries or Incan berries, and possibly more names, but these are the ones I have heard of. They are lovely. Continue reading

The Middle Son and The Unbound Reader are visiting for a couple of days. We went out for pizza last night and we all love leftover pizza for breakfast. So, naturally you order a large pizza. There must be leftovers, but we’ve never had it like this before. Continue reading

I couldn’t wait to post this. It was too good not to share. You’ve heard The Goddess go on ad nauseam about how she adores, loves, is crazy about, etc. leftovers. It does get a tad stale, doesn’t it? I know I was damned tired of hearing about it. Then, she made this pizza, which uses leftovers she had from the weekend. Continue reading

White Flower Farm near Litchfield, CT, had their Tomato Event. It was a beautiful day, spent communing with nature and the truly beautiful, The Orchid Mother. They offered lunch and other goodies, so we dined al fresco on Fried Green Tomato Tacos. The tomato jam was one of the “other” goodies. Continue reading

This is a nice little salad to have in your repertoire. It is the perfect summer salad, but joy of joys, since good cucumbers, a.k.a. English cucumbers are available year round, it’s a non-seasonal salad or side. It packs a nice kick of heat and garlic…Vampires beware! Continue reading

We ate at “Shu” in West Hartford, CT last week. It was mind-blowingly delicious and nary a fortune cookie in sight. This is real Sichuan cooking. No gloppy sauces, just complex flavors and heat. They like to use a good amount of chiles and Sichuan (Szechuan or Szechwan) peppercorns, which works for me! Continue reading

This was supper today. This is pure comfort. It’s been a long day, I was tired and I had leftover garlic rice, a nice, plump ripe avocado, eggs and onion and these flavors are crazy good together. This is a great breakfast and dish, too. MMMmmmm…. Continue reading

Yesterday, we cleaned shrimp. Today, we cook. I’ve been asked by someone near and dear to me to talk about cooking shrimp, so I we’ll do just that. This is for The Eventual Planner, who I believe is primarily interested in how to sauté shrimp. Continue reading
