I love having company for dinner. And I don't mean a dinner party event with a huge meal planned and prepped in advance, no, I mean sharing a meal with a friend, a sibling, a parent, a lover, an ex-lover, a once upon a time lover, a potential lover (in some cases the previous four examples are a...

I am recently back from a long weekend in New York City. I had some interesting nosh while there which I'll get to in a moment. But first, first I must reflect, and point out, how fucking galvanized I am by this early arrival, or touch down at the very least, of spring: I have missed your warm e...

I'm starting a new regular series on my blog that will discuss meals made with a three ingredient concept (I'm liberal when it comes to rules however, as you'll see). Heck, it's the Christmas season, and there's all sorts of food going around that makes me just double over with m...
