Last week I had a bad shopping experience. So far, this pasta salad is the only good thing to come out of it.
Sweet Garlic-Chili Roasted Pork with Savory French Toast
“A good way to rehydrate peppers,” said the Internet, “is to place them in a bowl of warm water and wait. But if you really want them to be spectacular…”
Cookin’ Greek
Last weekend, I went to the Marietta Diner. Yes! The Marietta Diner! The one with the giant sandwiches, incredible pies, generous portions, and crazy-authentic Greek cooking! So guess what I ordered? Two fried eggs and a bowl of fruit. It was late, dude. I was not hungry. Naturally, I regretted my decision immediately, and felt even more remorseful in the …
Hello, Newman
Thanks to YouTube, nothing amazes me anymore. At least, not for more than four minutes. After five minutes, it’s old hat. Take the other day, for example, when I saw a video of a slow loris holding an umbrella. I had no idea what a slow loris was and I thought he was great, so I looked up another slow …
A pretzel to build a dream on
Pretzel rolls are amazing!
Not everybody can can
There is only one hard and fast rule in canning, and it’s that you must follow directions to the letter.

Barbecue pork pierogies for dinner and plum pierogies for dessert
Singapore Noodles: Totally not from actual Singapore

So don’t go into this little stir-fry recipe expecting authenticity, is all I’m saying. However, if you go …
Sneaky eggplant jambalaya
Lately, the threat of crippling sniffles has kept me mostly indoors. That trapped feeling has helped me finally remember to pack a lunch before work. I’ve even started thinking about weekday lunches when I’m preparing dinner! (Like when I got some extra wonton soup, pictured, from the Chinese delivery place over the weekend. What? Ordering counts as preparing.) Jambalaya makes …
Simple and snappy: Sausage and Pappy! …ers!
Sausage and peppers (with rice) is one of our fallback dinners. We make it when we want a dinner that seems extra easy and casual even to us — and that’s saying something, because we are by no means fancy. When it comes to dinner, we’re pretty lazy, as a rule. But we do like to eat well. So this …
Honey Nut Pork Pockets
Sounds gross, doesn’t it? Yeah, well I’ve got news for you: it looks even worse than it sounds. It tastes terrific, though. I don’t mean to sound surprised, but since I made it out of what I had in the house at the end of an extra long day — leftover puff pastry, frozen pork, crushed nuts, honey, and goat …
