02.18.08Channeling Rachael Ray: Savory Bread Pudding with Faux-mescoNone of these ingredients is in the Faux-Romesco sauce. Did I just blow your fucking mind?!? I've always been attracted to mixes of sweet and savory, both combinations of the two or flipping recipes around - making sweet versions of things that are usually savory, and vice-versa. Not everything lends itself to this treatment - there have been some attempts whose names shall not be mentioned - but it can be a great way to get yourself out of a cooking rut. One of my all-time favorite flips is savory bread pudding. Keep going... Related posts:A kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn’t ...

02.18.08Restaurant Re-creations: The Ugly AmericanWe built this sandwich on rock and roll. Downtown Jersey City used to have a little restaurant called Melt whose specialty was grilled cheese sandwiches; it may not surprise you that grilled cheese is one of my favorite things. Unfortunately, it was only around for about a year before it fell victim to urban neighborhood mid-gentrification roulette: which cutesy niche shop will close next, and which will make it? Stay tuned! Keep going... Related posts:A kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn’t you? Grits: The breakfast, or lunch, or dinner of champions. Grits...

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 ...

01.05.08Saturday Morning Breakfast BloggingWe are helpless in the face of cured meat products. Saturday morning breakfast: scrambled eggs with chorizo and sharp cheddar, topped with leftover poblano vinaigrette from this week's smackdown. English muffins and tea on the side. The verdict: manchego might have been better, but this was damn good. Eggs with poblano vinaigrette is the perfect breakfast for the nose-stuffed among us: spicy, but the eggs and cheese moderate the heat of the peppers and punch of the vinegar with their creaminess, especially if you slow cook 'em (Put the pan on heat so low you doubt it will have any ...
