A good amount of the disk space on our Tivo gets taken up with cooking shows. Food Network, PBS, I like to mix it all up. When I watch them, I frequently experience kitchen envy. Seriously, have you seen Paula Deen’s or Ina Garten’s kitchen? Dreamy. Multiple cooktops, deep fryers, and refrigerator drawers. Best of [...]

More Cowbell
Posted in Cooking, Food, Main Course, Photo, Recipe, South Beach Friendly Recipe, tagged Baked Shrimp, More Cowbell, simplyrecipes.com on 10 June 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I love the Saturday Night Live skit with Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken about the rock band and the cowbell.
The point is that while what the band was doing was good, it would have been even better with more cowbell. Do you ever have days like that? Days where you’re in a groove, doing your [...]

Despite my best efforts to the contrary, there are just days when time is not on my side. I’ve got too much to do and not enough time to get it done. Or cosmic forces conspire against me and suck huge chunks of time out of my grasping hands, never to be seen again. A [...]
Eat Fresh
Posted in Cooking, Food, Photo, Recipe, Side Dishes, South Beach Friendly Recipe, Vegetables, tagged Eat Fresh, Roasted Asparagus, Vegetables on 13 May 2009 | 1 Comment »
Advertising executives may want you to believe that eating fresh means patronizing a certain fast food chain. To me, it’s something entirely different. My definition of eating fresh is cutting down, as much as possible, the journey fruits and vegetables take from the grower to my plate. Since I’ve come to peace with the fact [...]
Notes on a Recipe – Molly’s Spicy Pickled Carrots
Posted in Appetizers, Cooking, Food, Recipe, South Beach Friendly Recipe, tagged Asparagus, Canning, Carrots, Molly Wizenberg, Orangette, Pickled on 11 May 2009 | Leave a Comment »
That Molly, she doesn’t mess around. Those pickled carrots, they knocked my socks off. First, because they were good. Second, because they were HOT. SFC thought they were just right but they were too spicy for me. So depending on your tolerance, you might want to turn down the heat by reducing the red pepper [...]

Sometimes we need to be reminded of the obvious. Remember that fable about the tortoise and the hare? What was the moral of that story? Right, fastest isn’t always best.
Notes on a Recipe – Bon Appetit Shrimp and Garlicky Beans with Feta

Every dog may have its day, but there’s no telling how long that day may be in coming. If that dog happens to be named Bon Appetit’s Garlicky Beans with Feta and Mint, it is my sincere hope that I never see that day in my lifetime. Since going all South Beach in the kitchen, [...]
Notes on Cooking with SFC

Each week, SFC picks one meal that he will cook. As hard as it is for me not to jump in and take over on these nights, I really do like the days when I’m just the sous chef. I’m much happier sitting on the couch turning the pages of a book than standing over [...]
Blind Date

Recipe testing is the culinary equivalent of blind dating. You hear about a hot new recipe and instantly know you are meant to be together. You begin to doodle your initials and “I Heart” on grocery lists and daydream how wonderful your life together will be. You get lost thinking about how intoxicating he will [...]
Foolin’
Posted in Breakfast, Cooking, Food, Recipe, South Beach Diet, South Beach Friendly Recipe, tagged Oatmeal Pancake, South Beach Diet on 2 March 2009 | 2 Comments »
Fool me once…shame on you. Fool me twice…won’t get fooled again. Or some such nonsense.
But being fooled isn’t always the same as being foolish. Case in point, pancakes. I’ve never been a big pancake fan, unless they were being cooked up by my grandmother, but sometimes I just get a taste for them. Here on [...]
