I’ve been meaning to start this kind of entry for a while, where I highlight the kinds of tools I love to use in my kitchen. There’s no recipe today, just some thoughts, a recommendation, and maybe a bit of advice.
Now, I’m not the biggest advocate for peeling vegetables. My carrots often end up [...]

Charlie’s been wanting to BBQ for several days, but it just keeps raining! The other night he wanted to BBQ, and I talked him out of it because I was tired, and as soon as we sat down to leftover Vegetarian Lasagna of Doom, there was a huge thunderclap and a downpour.
Tonight, the weather [...]

This has got to be one of the best vegetarian lasagnas I’ve ever made (or even tasted). It’s got to be one that’s recorded in blog history.
One of the key things about making lasagna is having enough sauce. Don’t be shy with it! It helps keep everything moist, and if you’ve ever had a [...]

The other night Charlie and I made an amazing lasagna, which I’ll hopefully have time to post the recipe for later (it was sort of quasi-homemade… we didn’t make the past from scratch, and I made one of the two sauces from scratch). But first, here’s the recipe for rolls stuffed with fresh herbs.
The [...]

Charlie and I work odd hours, and we sometimes have the pleasure of having an extended weekend, like we did today. This was especially nice since we were away at a conference all weekend, so we didn’t get any lazy days with epic breakfasts. Today, we made up for it, and Monday morning sure felt [...]

The final batch of food for the masses had to be decadent, and it had to be vegan. We were planning to hang out with a bunch of hippies, so I knew there were bound to be vegans among the group, and indeed there were. The vegans, however, had to compete with everyone for these [...]

Not the best photo, taken on my slightly working iPhone in our hotel room. We went away for the weekend (to Philadelphia, as I previously mentioned) and I personally took it upon myself to feed everyone I encountered along the way. Once the zucchini bread was in the oven, I started on making a huge [...]

This zucchini bread is called Philadelphia Zucchini Bread not because it’s native to the area, but because we’re bringing it to Philly when we go there next weekend. A guy we know is letting us share his hotel room for the low price of one homebaked zucchini bread. Since I’d never made zucchini bread before, [...]

My friend Mary and I went to college together, then studied abroad together in London one semester. We graduated a year ago, and haven’t seen much of each other since, what with her being out on Staten Island and me being out in Rockland County. It’s a multi-step public transportation adventure.
She came to visit [...]
