  • Oatmeal, and Not Your Grandpa’s Bowl

    I. Love. Oats.

    They’re the perfect vehicle for flavors, sweet or savory. And they can make an especially brilliant breakfast if you’d just toss those wimpy packets in the bin. This way is cheaper, tastier, and will get some heat in your belly for those chilly autumn days that are certain to come.

  • Greek Siesta Snack

    Yes. Tostones are good. But this is better. Simple, filling, delicious, and pretty cheap assuming you have a few pantry staples. Best yet, you won’t find this in any cookbook (I’d hope, anyway). It’s not even a recipe, just a rustic happenstance that occurs across much of the Mediterranean.

    You’ve probably eaten it on gyros - which is entirely fine. But most likely, it came out of a plastic squeeze bottle, watered down and soapy - which is not so fine. Most Greek food places use inferior ingredients. Sorry, countrymen, but garbage in, garbage out. And when the garbage out is synonymous with the food you shovel into your face…things aren’t good.

  • Fried Rice Explorations, with Mustard Greens

    This post will kill two birds with one stone - and three if you count the chicken thighs I used.
    A few days ago, some friends explained the process of preparing fried rice. Nothing overly complex, but there are a few ingredients that I had seldom used. Also, I had never cooked mustard greens. As the [...]
