Suggested Dining

If you're anything like me, you made chicken stock this weekend. Good move! You know what that means, though, right? Risotto.

And if you're anything like me, you wrote a blog post about gravy and had it on the brain and made much-much-much-too-much of it, but you're all out of carriers. (It's gauche to eat straight gravy; much like brioche is to butter, one needs a delivery vehicle to really partake of gravy.) There is an excellent answer to this problem: Root Vegetable Pie. Make it for Pi Day (3/14)! I can't say it enough: Root Vegetable Pie! Find your favorite tubers and get going! Top it with mushroom gravy. Eat it for days, or feed your 37 closest friends simultaneously.

Alright, fine: chicken stock also means some kind of soup, but I get to choose what kind, so there!

Most Recently

3/6 -- The How To section is making me very happy. And the latest post contains something new and different: pictures! I'm of mixed feelings about this. If you have opinions -- if you like them, say, or feel they have no place on a food blog -- for the love of god, say so somewhere! Email me, post a comment, something!

Seasonalia

I'm inclined to believe this time of the year is the optimum time for hearty peasant fare. Spaghetti carbonara, potato and leek soup, posole, long roasted meats, assorted stews, hearth bread, and all the other delicious things you can make from relatively non-fresh or non-seasonal ingredients. (It's always the right season for charcuterie.) Penne all'arrabiata is almost enough to sustain me to summer on its own.

Find it!

Bananagram Five

DateSunday, November 11, 2007 at 11:35PM

It's slowly happening. Bit by bit, little  by little, bananas are starting  to creep into my food vocabulary.  I still can't eat an entire banana on my (or its) own, but I've started -- voluntarily, mind you -- eating bananas in things. Smoothies, muffins -- even a banana pudding have all crossed my palate with something not unlike pleasure. Did I nearly eject my entire ribs, collards, and pudding dinner when I hit a disc of unadulterated banana in the bottom of the pudding? Yes. Did I choke down three more bites before grudgingly relinquishing the remainder of the pudding to my dinning companion? Also yes.

 Heck: while recovering from a recent bout of food poisoning, I actually found myself craving banana smoothies. I certainly never saw this coming... weird, eh?

I've decided it's time for a new phase: cooking with bananas. I've acclimated to the flavor; only the texture stands between me and actually being able to eat the damn fruit solo. Perhaps mashing/frying/freezing the slug-in-question will help the issue?
