June 30 » A Bear's Life for me

I have nothing pithy to say about this photo at all. I mean look at it. It's delicious. I hope you don't eat your monitor. I've been trying to eat a lot more fish as of late and a lot less other meats. Luckily we don't really eat much lamb, beef or pork at home, but I figure even less land-based mammal consumption would be a good thing. Thankfully the farmers market has been in full swing with the day-boat fish guy, which has been ...

April 20 » Bass! How Low Can You Go?

Imagine if it was Reese's Pisces and they were filled with ground up fish instead of peanut butter? I've been really working on trying to eat more fish as of late. Not only is it extremely tasty, but apparently it's kind of good for you or something. The problem is that, for the most part, you gotta eat it the day you buy it. Which means Sundays have become fish days. This is because i go food shopping on Sundays. I go to Fairway for ...

March 16 » Stealing From Our Favorite Thieves

Thar be gold up in them thar hills! OK so I'll admit it. Tonight's dinner was stolen wholesale from Last Night's Dinner. I know, I know. But wait. Fuck that. It was delicious. Seriously delicious. I did make some changes though. First, I got arctic char instead of salmon since salmon is either ridiculously expensive or farm-raised; neither of which I am interested in. Second, um, I put some onions and celery in the sauté prior to the lentils, but pretty much what you ...

January 07 » It's Not That I Don't Love You All Anymore

It's not that I don't love you anymore, just through a myriad number of reasons I haven't been blogging. First there was Christmas so I was away for a week and a half with Julie's family. While there though I made Chili and Mac and Cheese (sorry no photos), but I've already blogged about my Chili (same recipe almost), and the Mac and Cheese was simple so I didn't feel like writing it up. When I make it a little more decadent I'll post that. Then we got back and I was tired ...

October 18 » Birthday Dinners!

Two months ago or so it was my friend Christy's birthday. And as it seems tradition stands, I finally got around to making her dinner tonight for it to celebrate. But I did have the added bonus that it was her boyfriend Colin's birthday yesterday so I got to kill two birthdays with one fish. I've been craving crab recently for some inexplicable reason. Crab cakes, crab meat cocktail, crab rolls, what-have-you. But live crabs are a pain and sometimes guests (or Julie for that matter) can be a little squeamish with ...
