02.04.08Super Bowl Snackdown I: Bagna BeansIf you can't find anything nice to say about anyone, come sit here by me. Super Bowl Sunday: Some people gather to watch the game and eat nachos and wings, others to watch the Puppy Bowl (good job, MVP Abigail the Parsons' Terrier!) and Olympia Dukakis movies and eat Bagna Cauda Bean Spread. I leave it to you to guess into which camp I fall. Keep going... Related posts:Tight Ass Tuesday: Beans and Quin That’s pronounced “beans and keen,” for you whole grain noobs....

01.31.08Thursday Night Smackdown: Holy cheese-filled beef, Batman!It's Thursday, I'm in love.

01.18.08Misshapen Friday Brunch BloggingI'll take Potent Potables for $600. A quick and tasty brunch, once again taking advantage of leftovers to make something much fancy-schmancier than I normally would with a couple of eggs. Although my attempt at making a precious little omelette failed, as you'll soon see, these flavors did not: Herbed goat cheese and balsamic-glazed caramelized onions with a little leftover spinach thrown in for good measure, all left over from a stuffed chicken breast I made Monday night for dinner. The tiny dutch oven holds our precious store of rendered bacon fat, which, when used in small quantities, adds a ...
