Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
My husband roasts his own coffee beans and I’ve become enamored with Costa Rican beans. He ventures all over the bean planet (not actually, just in what he drinks) so I try things from lots of the coffee-countries and I’m partial to Central America and reallllly don’t like most everything from Africa. We finally figured…
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…
Do you ever have random childhood cravings? My mom made chicken cacciatore pretty often when I was a kid. I remember the pasta being my favorite part of course, since that’s what kids typically love! I haven’t made (or eaten) chicken cacciatore for…gosh…I have no idea how long. I don’t think I’ve had it since…

1/23/18 Update: I made this again, I forgot to take pictures again. D’oh!! I don’t want to lose these recipes or the changes I made to them. I will add photos when I make them again for January Christmas (a relatively newly formed tradition in my family that is much easier than getting together on…
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…
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…
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…

It’s our annual tradition (17 years running) to head to the woods for Thanksgiving weekend and forage for something edible and tasty…preferably porcini but other edibles will do! We didn’t find a ton this year but enough for a nice, large, dinner when we got home. Since this drive takes us north of the Golden…
I thought I had nothing to make for dinner. I knew I had a leftover chicken breast from dinner last night. I dug through rest of the fridge. I found: A half bunch of sad, wilted, barely recognizable cilantro 1/4 of a small red onion a small, sad shallot tortillas salsa I put the cilantro,…
I love the variety I get to sample from my CSA. One of my new favorites is Ruby Streaks Mustard. All I do is chop it up, and toss it with lemon, shallots, salt, and olive oil. I like serving a protein on top of it. I put the mustard down cold and put chicken,…
Yesterday was not a cheery day. I am in the middle of a self-imposed, home office, crazy rearrangement of life. The office is a disaster. I’m trying to make it less so. In the process I moved out the old air conditioning unit from the closet, sorted out the rest of the junk on that…
