Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
I got beautiful ono from my H&H Fresh Fish CSA/CSF and it just made dinner easy. A simple salad with some grated carrot and a bit of cilantro. A dressing of lemon juice, a little orange juice, and a minced garlic clove, salt and good Stonehouse olive oil. I seared the fish with just a…
I made a grilled salmon recipe from the Paley’s Place cookbook a couple of months ago for a dinner party we had. The original recipe uses brown sugar, orange zest, salt, onion, garlic and basil. I took the same idea but with a Vietnamese flavor profile. In the end it was a completely different recipe…
Jaleo 480 7th St NW Washington, DC 20004 202-628-7949 The occasion for my visit to DC was a somber one. My uncle passed away in November and he was finally able to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. He was a 30 year Coast Guard veteran and the ceremony was incredible, beautiful and he earned…
Alinea 1723 North Halsted Chicago, Illinois 60614 312-867-0110 I first got reservations at Alinea in August 2007 for our wedding anniversary. I’d made them months in advance to coincide with a trip to see the in-laws in Chicago after attending a friend’s wedding in Minnesota. That trip became quite the adventure (involving a unexpected road…
Yoichi’s 230 E Victoria St Santa Barbara, CA 93101 805-962-6627 The food is amazing. The presentation is beautiful. The staff is wonderful. We ate things I’ve never heard of. We had some favorites. I loved our waitress. I won’t buy Tommy Hilfiger clothes (not like I did before)–nevermind why. Aside from the other clientele, I…
Blackbird 36 State Street Santa Barbara CA 93101 805-882-0135 I was a little concerned about this reservation. I read good things but do I trust the people who wrote those things? Oh, internet. I was worried because of its location. Right on State Street, a block from the beach, tourist central. That doesn’t usually equate…

The view is beautiful. The staff is attentive and wonderful. This is a romantic date spot. The food was good but … Let’s just dive in, shall we? I went back to 2010 and looked at my review of Pacific’s Edge in Carmel. Why? Because Canlis looks almost exactly like it. The architecture is almost…
It’s beginning to taste a lot like Christmas. I don’t make desserts much except when Christmas is approaching. Then we break out all the sugar-filled books and go through pounds…POUNDS…of chocolate. This year’s “menu” includes: Almond Toffee from Bouchon Bakery (The Thomas Keller Library) Chocolate Candied Almonds from Chocolate Obsession: Confections and Treats to Create…
Oasis Tasting Room & Kitchen 415 A River Street Santa Cruz, CA 95060 831-621-8040 We tend to not go out to eat that often anymore. We are booked all the time with work and school commitments and we usually just want to be at home. When we do go out, we tend to stick with…
As usual, I didn’t actually measure everything when I made this so I’m guessing at weights and measures below. I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget about this dish though, it was really awesome. So I apologize, there’s quite a bit of vaguery and improv to this one. We had a bag of snow…
We were north of the Golden Gate Bridge. You know what that means! HANA! We drove up to Santa Rosa to see Neil Gaiman speak (someday I’ll get him to Hana). Then we flew to Montana from the Santa Rosa airport — best kept secret airport. One room, easy in and out. It was awesome….
I haven’t been to Atalier Crenn yet. I have to admit, I’m a little intimidated by Dominique! I don’t know what it is but no matter how often people tell me she’s perfectly lovely, I feel like she’d totally kick my ass. BUT, I still want to eat her food, it looks amazing! We had…
When I find myself over the hill (for those who don’t live here, that means the other side of the Santa Cruz mountains, in San Jose area) and it’s during business hours, and I have time to spare, I stop at Mitsuwa. I had to take my son to a volleyball tryout/clinic so…there ya go….
I first made this for Christmas at our neighbor’s house. I served it on crostini that I toasted with a little olive oil. My son has been requesting it at least once a week ever since. I made it one night and put it on top of crab cakes. That was good too! Then he…
