Oh man, I have brainmeats problems. A month or so ago I read an article online where this guy decided to try recipes or foodstuffs mentioned in The Simpsons. I laughed myself silly, as you do. Especially over the notion of Corn Nog, which sounds really fucking disgusting. I mean! Almost as bad as fuzzy [...]

So yeah, I’ve been making a crapton of soup lately since it’s fall and all. Last week, I did make a variant on carrot-and-coriander. It also involved ginger, red lentils, and garbanzo beans.

First objective was to give the dog a run: Second objective was to scavenge up as many ripe mulberries as I could: I made an scouting trip yesterday with the dog, and just snacked on mulberries as I find them, but made plans to come back again…with tupperware!

I have a long and colorful history of substituting recipe ingredients.

I don’t know if you’ve ever had this experience, but I’ve eaten foods that were specifically touted as being “vegan” that basically taste like you hate yourself for eating it. I’m thinking specifically of this particular vegan soup at a local restaurant that has a bizarre and inappropriate, slightly sweet grain/nut flavor, as though the [...]

I have just made the best baba ghanoush I’ve ever made so far in my life. Fresh, fresh, fresh eggplant right out of the garden, grilled over the embers of a backyard bonfire is probably the main reason it turned out so well. I grilled up two of the eggplants I found the other day, [...]
