I was in Orlando a bit ago for some technology training for work, but before I left, I wanted to make Kristin some black eyed peas. For those of you who haven’t been following a long, slow arc southward, black eyed peas are not really peas, but beans. And when a southerner speaks of making [...]

(Woman Laughing Alone With) Salad & Salmon
January 5, 2011 – 11:31 pm
Inspired by this aggregation of awesomeness. The salmon was purdy good though. Four kinds of plants in that meal. FOUR KINDS! South Beach friendly.
Lentil Soup

Just your basic lentil-based foodporn: I *think* lentils are okay on the South Beaches. Hope so!
Southbeachy Foods – Chicken Cacciatore (Kinda)
January 3, 2011 – 9:24 pm
Well, after a lovely Christmas and New Years, Kristin wanted to start doing a reboot of the South Beach thing. So, today we (well, mostly just her) started. I made some Chicken Cacciatore with some small modifications, and sauted asparagus, as well as a romaine salad with a homemade vinaigrette, thanks to a recipe from [...]
Les Halles Onion Soup
November 21, 2010 – 2:33 pm
From Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook. Fricking great. Two lessons: Adding a bit of port and a bit of balsamic to the soup seems like a big flavor hack (and as such is awesome) My broiler sucks and I’m buying a blowtorch Side note, I love watching really flavorful stuff reduce slowly for a long time. [...]
6 Year Old’s Beet & Cheedar ‘sotto
November 20, 2010 – 4:16 pm
This recipe comes to me by way of my friend and Kristin’s classmate Beth, and apparently was created by a six-year-old kid. Who reads Food & Wine magazine. And knows what a risotto is. Needless to say, the kid is sort of an elite. Okay, well, anyway, it was delicious (even if the photograph makes [...]
Leg of Lamb
September 3, 2010 – 11:07 pm
Lambs. Cute. Frolicky. Delicious. I like to eat a lot of different species. Is that so wrong? I’m not content with white potatoes, chicken, beef, and (if you’re lucky) pork. So I hauled my butt down to the local meat market (we actually still have one around here and I’d like to keep them in [...]
PIZZAAAAA
May 14, 2010 – 11:07 pm
Made with Trader Joe’s whole wheat pizza dough, a crap ton of mozzarella cheese, red onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and basil. Note on the TJ’s dough: The package says to put the toppings on & bake for 10-12 minutes. I did this once and MAN O MAN WAS IT A FAILURE. What you do is [...]

Tonight, and Tomorrow. Or tomorrow. Or tomorrow. Who can be sure?.
Make This Tonight: Emasculated Linguine
March 28, 2010 – 11:05 pm
So… We’re all friends here, right? Good. Because I have a confession. I, me, Matthew Conrad Good, a man, willfully and knowingly subscribed to Rachael Ray’s magazine for a couple of years. I did. It is true. I had used some of her 30 minute meals cookbooks, and liked them. I still think that, nevermind [...]
