A recipe, a photo, a descriptive of something yummy

Taste it again for the first time

Mango salsa I have always hated. Something in San Franciscos looong phase of mango salsas or chutneys with Tilapia in every damn restaurant irks me. I don’t want sweet salsa, mangoes should be appreciated with your open palm – nothing else. Last week we accidentally brought prepacked mango salsa instead of our usual pico de [...]

Wherein I buy candy of all things.

Today I went to the pharmacy and bought gel insoles for my work shoes for $10. They were the budget kind but I don’t really buy into the advanced sectional thingamaroos involved in a cushioned pad for my feet. They will do me fine although I suspect the plastic feeling will make my bare feet [...]

chunky pasta sauce

no pics just wanted to whip this out before i forget. I like chunky veg pasta sauce instead of wet tomato-y Ragu types. Makes a more traditional pasta, goes with lots of pasta shapes, helps you use up veg that may only have a few days left and… more veg is always the way to [...]

Not a big sweet person, want to be a pastry chef, go fish

Last Sat night around 2:30am I wanted cookies so I made a batch. As follows:
Preheat at 350 degrees, get out yer cookie sheets for 24 cookies.
Sift/ whisk around these dry ingredients.
2 1/4 cup flour
*1 Tbsp baking soda – you heard me.
1/2 tsp salt
a shake of clove spice. Just enough to cut the sugary sweetness to [...]

Salty dog, salty dog, I don’t wanna be your Annie doll…

Hot as a devil. Drinkin’ a big Salty Dog. Want one?
This is essentially a Greyhound with a salted rim. Freeze and salt the rim of your favorite weird cup, fill it with ice and pour 1 part Gin to 3 parts grapefruit juice. Or Vodka. Or you can be like me and use muddled honey [...]

I’m lying, I have a mini fridge dedicated to these things..

So months ago Donatello Vincenze and I were at a liquor store getting provisions for a house party. Sometimes we like to throw in a few mudslides or wine coolers into the bundle for jokes. On this night I grabbed three peach wine coolers because they were on sale and even more budget looking than [...]

pizza piepiepiepiepiepiepie…

I made a pizza for dinner. It was tasty.

Those are my feet. Pizza as follows:
-premade thin pizza bread from Whole Foods. 2 for $5, around a medium sized pizza.
-pesto
-few mushrooms
-few artichoke hearts
-handful of fresh basil and thyme from the rabbits food drawer
-less cheese than you think you need or it’ll be crazy heavy and oily [...]
