This Risotto Gonna Fuck You Up, Son
My risotto brings all the boys to the yard. I don’t know what they do when they get there. I guess they probably beat me up and take my risotto. Which is a really sad and violent end to this whole affair, but that’s just how my risotto is. It’s that good. How can you not love food that invites tragedy? Anyway. It’s autumn, which for me is the Time of Risotto. I don’t know why. Risotto is comforting. I like to make a pillow out of it and just rest... Read The Rest →
Put My Meat Sauce Inside Your Mouth
In a roasting pan, deposit the following: one sweet onion, chopped into maybe eight pieces. One small carrot, skinned like a rare African monkey, chopped into four or five rough pieces. Two bell peppers -- one red and one yellow if you like the color. Sometimes, though, I use smaller sweet peppers if they're available.
Macaroni + Cheese + Sausage = You Building Temples To Me And My Glory

The Time Traveling Cook: Ribs Burgundy
Maybe you heard, maybe you didn’t. For Christmas, I got a very cool cookbook — Bucks Cooks: The Artists’ County (or, since the cover is of dubious layout, Bucks, The Artist’s County, Cooks). It’s a cookbook put together by a bunch of locals in 1950 — at this point, a good 60 years ago. My plan is to — slowly but diligently — work through each recipe in the book.
