Can I get an amen for brothy beans? I like to think of this as the Herculean short cut to a big ol’ ham hock pot of beans. You know the kind your grandma used to have simmering in her cozy kitchen during the age of yesterlore? It’s that. But not. It’s speedy. And packed […]
Soooooo baked, you guys. Is it spring where you are? It wants to be spring here, but it’s failing. I give spring an F. Not that it’s even technically spring yet, but when I’m seeing and writing March on everything, it needs to be spring. I need tulips and daffs sprouting out of my nose. […]
Mooooore pancakes! (but you have to say it like, “Heeeeeeere’s Johnny!”) Not the Shining one. The Johnny Carson one. OMG, speaking OF: now that it’s October, Aaron and I are starting to put together a scary movie list to go through this month leading up to Halloween. It’s our annual Weidner tradition. No one can […]
Leave it to the cool culinary cat Mark Bittman to add grapes to a savory dish. Grapes! I can’t believe I just called someone a cat. Does this mean I have to join a swing band now? Of course I know he didn’t invent adding grapes to something and I know I’ve seen it […]
I’m pretty sure I was supposed to be British. English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, SOMETHING with a cool accent that makes me feel smart. I know this to be true because we’re in Downton Abbey overdrive and closing in on season two and things were so cray cray back then! I want to hear Lord Grantham […]
So I’m tweeting with Phillip Phillips’ girlfriend. Is this a new low for me? I prefer to think of it as a new awesome. I tried tweeting with Phillip himself, but when I noticed a line of cop cars in front of my house and snipers in my birch trees, I climbed down from my […]
No, no. Barney the dinosaur did not in fact explode all over my quinoa. That’s some real life purple cauliflower rawt thar. Have you ever seen such a thing? Well guess what, CLASS. I did a little research on these beauts, so get out your #2 and some notebook paper and let’s get LEARNT. And […]
Talk about a simple dinner, you guys. And I mean seeeeemple. So simple it almost makes you mad. So simple that when it almost made you mad, you got happy again because you realized that when you got mad, it wasn’t because of how simple this dinner was. It was in fact because you missed […]
Okay so technically it’s, “Since June!” but we can pretend.* I’ve learned that you guys love food that involves spoons. Soupy food with a million spoons. And also forks. Foods that call for forks that wrap around silky noodles and sauces. And also foods that involve neither spoons nor forks, like pizza or sub sandwiches. […]
Go ahead and blow up the kiddie pool. And maybe aim the sprinkler system at your eyeballs. Because when your tongue meets this un.fa.lip.pin.ing.be.liev.able sauce, your sinuses are going to give you the bird. I don’t want to scare you, but daaaaaaad GUM, this meal will punch you in the face. And I’m no sissy […]
