Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
As my son pointed out, “Sometimes experiments fail.” Well, luckily, I think this one worked! I had quite a few turnips from my CSA. The only way I’ve ever had turnips is roasted in big chunks and I didn’t like them like that. But I do like thin, crispy starchy things with butter sooooo…. I…
One night I opened the fridge to find a wilted (but not rotten) 1/2 bunch of cilantro, some ginger and not much else. I had a rib-eye in the freezer. I always have garlic, shallots, onions in the drawer and chiles from my dad’s garden in the freezer. I threw what I had in the…
I don’t cook with an insane amount of cream. I hate cheese. I don’t eat offal. And I wash my mushrooms in WATER…*gasp*! I don’t understand why there is such a problem with mating water with mushrooms. They grow in the RAIN for pete’s sake!! I went for a little walk yesterday. It’s been raining…
This recipe (if you can call it that, it’s so simple!) was spawned from having too little time and energy to make anything else one night and ended up being a favorite dish in the end! – 1 chicken, cut into 6-8 pieces…I never cook the wings, I save them w/ the back for making…
Take the leftover chicken meat, I had 2 legs and 1 breast left, and cut it into chunks. Put it in the food processor with some sauteed garlic and shallots, some chopped herbs, salt and pepper. For the amount of chicken I had left I used 2 shallots and 2 cloves of garlic, a tablespoon…
I let my 6 year old son pick dinner the other night. He picked steamed artichokes and grilled pork chops. I love that kid. This is the first time I’d cooked artichokes since my interview with Jason Webley, and let me tell you, I can’t look at them the same way ever again! I felt…
It has been like summer here in the Bay area this week. Actually more like summer than our cold summer was! Inspired by the sun, I thought I’d grill. This was easy and turned out to be great! First I made a vinaigrette of: 1 large shallot, minced 1 large clove of garlic, finely minced…
It’s gotten cold and rainy. When that happens, I start making more pasta and soup. More comfort foods. More warming, cozy foods. One of the easiest is usually pasta with red sauce. 2 onions, chopped 3 oz pancetta, diced (optional for vegetarians…not optional otherwise!) Cook down until onions are soft and starting to brown. Add…
What do you do when your dad has 7 acres of pomegranate trees? Make pomegranate juice of course. Then reduce it into a simple syrup for use on a million things! I seeded 6 pomegranates and put the seeds into the blender. Then pressed the blended mush through a fine mesh strainer. 3 cups pomegranate…
Oh so easy, oh so amazing. On the advice of the wonderful Rebecca from TLC Ranch (where I get my pork and eggs) I thawed the pork loin chops I bought in brine. I put about, I’d say, 1 c. of salt to about 1 gallon of water. In the brine I added a bay…
4 medium cucumbers (mine were actually pickling cukes) 2 small zucchini 2 cloves garlic 3T lemon juice A small handful of basil 5-6 mint leaves salt and pepper Put all that in a blender or food processor and zap it until it’s soup! I garnished with some chopped chives, a couple of quartered cherry tomatoes…
I didn’t get a picture of this soup. I was so hungry I forgot! 1/2 a yellow onion, chopped 2 oz diced pancetta 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced Add to pot and saute in olive oil until beginning to brown. Add: 1/2 cup white wine. 2 small carrots, sliced into half moons Simmer until…
Rub snapper fillets with grated ginger and garlic. I grate them on my microplane grater right over the fish…works pretty well. Pour juice of 2 limes over the fish. I let it sit for about 30 minutes. Not long enough to cure the fish but long enough to get a good flavor. Drizzle with olive…
Simple and delicious. Grill salmon with just some salt, pepper and olive oil. In a grill basket, toss some broccoli florets and chopped summer squash. Cook all that until it’s done. Meanwhile (on the stove not the BBQ) sauté up some chard with garlic and chili flakes. When the grilled veggies are done, mix those…
Exhausted from vacation…aren’t they tiring? I had a chicken, I had leeks from my CSA, I have sage in the garden. That’s a meal right there! 1 whole chicken 3 leeks, chopped 1/4 cup butter (sliced into pats) 10-12 sage leaves (4 leaves chopped, leave the rest whole) 1-2 T chopped fresh thyme Salt, pepper,…
