    The Dodge & Graham Horse and Pony Jamboree: Part 1 BBQ, beer, fish, grilling | (15)
    I need something wide and shallow. Here's the exciting thing about this post: you'll get to feel like you're PART OF THE ACTION.  No, I haven't invented smell-o-blogging or taste-o-blogging, but after spending almost 10 hours with Graham and Dodge, 2 chefs from the chi-chi Sanderling resort here on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I think I can help you re-create the experience I had chronicling them. Here's how you do it: Buy a case of Miller Lite.  Drink half of it, to get a good slosh on.  After every photo caption in this post, yell drunkenly, "LIKE YOUR MOTHER!" and ...

    Thursday Night Smackdown: Hurry, man, before there’s still time. fish, pasta, smackdown | (12)
    When will smackdown get better?* It's sad, really, because any dinner was bound to be a let down after last night's tomatogasm. I'm still reeling a little, and I spent the whole day cornering co-workers and forcing them to listen to me monologue about tomatoes as they nodded politely (the co-workers, not the tomatoes). Still, this dinner, taken from The New Best Recipe, challenged another one of my food prejudices: pad Thai. It also made most of my block smell like fermented shrimp because I had all the windows open while I cooked, and for that I'm truly sorry. *I'm trying, ...

    Thursday Night Smackdown: Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon? baking, eggs, fish, smackdown | (37)
    And so, the egg whites have been folded in ANGER!! Once again, it's hot as balls in New York City. Between that and the Tour De France - as I'm sure you all know today is the first mountainous stage, and the Tour chooses its champions where the mountains bear the snows of winter - I didn't want to tackle something overly complicated or arduous. But I did want to do something new, something I'd never made before. I was flipping through Chez Panisse Cooking when it hit me: SOUFFLE! More specifically, crab souffle with leeks and green onions, with a ...

    The Great…e-SCAPE. Get it? You know, because there are scapes in this fish, veg, veg/vegan | (15)
    You don't get it at all, do you Steve? Sometimes I wish I could post in 3-D, because that peanut? Totally looks like it's poised to leap off the screen at you. That peanut will cut a bitch. I often bemoan the fact that I am too fucking lazy* to get up early enough to make it to the Greenmarket in time for quickly snatched up, fleeting seasonal delicacies like ramps and garlic scapes. I salivate over other people's beautiful photos, promise myself I'll go this coming Saturday and then stay up late on Friday reading back issues of Love ...

    a thursday night smackdown of questionable methodology fish, grains, smackdown | (21)
    It's not meat! Tonight's Smackdown comes to us from Creole by Babette de Rozieres, a beautifully photographed collection of 160 classic and not-so classic creole recipes. On the menu: Creole Seafood Risotto. On the surface, this dish seems like a total winner: shrimp, scallops, and fish, risotto finished with some creme fraiche, saffron and scotch bonnet peppers bringing the creole mojo, and more shallots (8) than I have ever used in a single dish (It serves 4. So, 2 shallots per person. Babette doesn't fuck around with shallots.). Although the flavor is ultimately a winner, a tragic ...
