Cheap Ass Monday: If you lived here, you’d be eating dinner by now
Just in case you were wondering, there is nothing, literally nothing I would rather do in this life than participate in The Bachelorette. The small talk alone would send me spiraling into a catatonic state. Then again, ABC probably wouldn’t want me either because with my propensity to instantly judge people, the season would only ...
TNS: Were the instructions written by a Chinese hairless crested?
If you don’t know what a Chinese hairless crested is, it’s this. Or as I like to call it, “the dog that should not be.” You may wonder why they are in the title. I will to esplain: these are Lidia Bastianich recipes, and she’s relatively hairless. And Chinese hairless crested are dogs, so they’d ...
Cheap Ass Monday: Going All Derrida On Your Behind
It warmed my heart to see all you Aqua Teen fans. It’s too bad the Wolfen is going to come for you with his razor. This odd transitional season – one-half Indian summer, one-quarter early autumn, one-quarter what the fuck is going on make up your damn mind – calls for an odd transitional dish. ...
Cheap Ass Mondays: A Little Fancy, A Little Schmancy
Did I make this dinner just so I could gloat about my infinitely awesome egg-poaching skills? I may have.

Because I? Am better than you.
The 12 Minute Challenge: Penne alla Vodka
Yum-O!…I’m already sorry I said that. LIGHTEN UP, PEOPLE. This delicious meal of penne alla vodka and spinach salad with caesar-ish dressing, pecorino cheese and proscuitto can be made in 12 minutes. Can a post describing it be written in 12 minutes? It’s 10:06. Let’s go!
Spring Lamb By Way of Italy By Way of My Ass
My ass is due east of Suck On It, Tunisia. If I’m not cooking directly from a recipe or making one of my standby dishes, I’m trying to riff off someone else’s ideas. I can poach a mean egg and I have a decent sense of what goes with what (e.g., bacon goes with everything), ...
You can’t beat this meat with a stick: Part Deux
Thyme for dinner, everyone! (Ba-da dum!) Sometimes, life gives you extra Bolognese sauce. When that happens, I’m firmly of the mind that you should make lasagna Bolognese. You’ll probably be tempted to invite some friends over for dinner when you do this, because one typically does not make a lasagna for two. I’m here to ...
