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!

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 Four

DateSunday, June 10, 2007 at 10:20AM

I had grand designs for this Banangram. After the last 'gram, suggestions came in from many of my most trusted advisors. Banana bread, fried plantains, banans foster, 'nana puddin' with 'nilla wafers: recepies abounded, many of them quite appealing. I had every intention of making at least one of them. Truly.

Then life, as it is wont to do, got in the way. I've been busy. What can I say?

 So, at last, I went ahead and ate another banana whole. After all, part of the whole appeal of bananas as food is their pre-packaged, meal-complete goodness, right? No need to do more than peel'n'eat, right?

 Man, I wish it worked that well in application. I swear these things aren't actually food. This banana was, at least, a different experience than the last one; I was less actively revolted. It was organic, which I was hoping would help (it didn't), and a good deal smaller than a normal member of its species (greatly appreciated).

So far, I haven't really gotten... anywhere with this. Time for a new approach. For real, this time.

So, I think I should mention that you spelled "chronicles" wrong in the title of the page.... It's spelled correctly everywhere else, except the most important place - hence my assumption that it was *not* intentional. :-D

Sweet. Jesus. God.

-THAT- is what I get for trying to do late-night blog overhauling.

Thank you -so much-.
