So catering has sort of been kicking my ass this week, and I haven’t had time to write a proper blog post. This might be a first since starting this blog back in September of 2007, but it’s also the first time Erin and I have attempted 6 jobs in 10 days, and now I [...]

Market Report: Smashed
Talk about a spring tease! The last few days in New York City felt like full-fledged spring, but my Buffalo bones (and NY1) tell me there’s more winter on the horizon. Apparently it’s gonna rain on my birthday, and March’s madness is likely to keep us guessing till we turn the corner on April, and [...]

Market Report: Everything Tastes Better with Bacon
With the wind whipping, temperature dropping and snow accumulating, I spent much of the last two weeks nesting in my cozy (and at times tropical) fifth floor walkup. By Wednesday, however, cabin fever started to set in, and I knew I needed to take a trip up to Chelsea Markets, specifically, to Dickson’s Farmstand Meats. [...]

Nesting
There’s snow on the ground, love in the air and wafts of garlic floating down the stairwell of my West Village apartment building. Perched on high in my New York nest, I’m infusing olive oil with garlic. My neighbors tell me they can smell me from the second floor of my fifth floor walk-up. I’ve [...]

Doing it Right
It’s not just a new year; it’s a new decade. A new start. A chance for a fresh proclamation. And with all this “new” comes the inevitable reflections of old… Snotty McSnobster held his annual holiday hijinks soiree right before I skipped town for Buff last month. Celest was my +1. In attendance at the [...]

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Anything
I love anything made with the classic chocolate-peanut butter flavor combo. Anything. But because I avoid eating processed foods, I’m constantly trying to recreate the joy that is a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. In my kitchen, I’ve tooled around with frozen chocolate-peanut butter ice cream sandwiches, chocolate-peanut butter cupcakes filled with Nutella, a chocolate-peanut butter [...]

Brown Butter Sage Pumpkin Ravioli
Here’s the thing. You might think it’s a bit of a cop-out, but the truth is that I know how to make ravioli; I’ve made them several times with many different fillings, but unless I’m settling into an evening of pasta making with friends and family, I’d just as soon buy the suckers. But I [...]

Crush-a-belle: Yellow Corn con White Wine
As I sit down to write this post we are waltzing, make that running, through the last days of summer. Now is the time to fire up the grill and eat outdoors, before the waning days of humid haze elude us, and we wish it were once again time to complain about the heat. It [...]

Hot & Spicy
It’s hot, finally. But where’s the spice? Summer in New York City has taken her good old time bursting onto the scene. She’s held out for a late August arrival, and if she can kick rain’s ass to the curb, she may even gift us a final summer weekend or two, perfect for a backyard [...]
