Sam Cooks: Tomato Snobbery
http://samcooks.blogspot.com/2009/08/tomato-snobbery.html
Cooking * Baking * Eating * Drinking. Would writing about a restaurant visit during which I took no pictures be totally lame? Friday, August 14, 2009. Haha, just as I posted about my lovely heirloom tomatoes, I found this article. In the Washington Post. I agree, though. Just because it's an heirloom tomato doesn't mean it's going to be good. I also don't want to pay exorbitant prices for the ones at the grocery store, especially since I don't even know where they're coming from. View my complete profile.

Sam Cooks: Pho: The Magical Cure
http://samcooks.blogspot.com/2009/08/pho-magical-cure.html
Cooking * Baking * Eating * Drinking. Would writing about a restaurant visit during which I took no pictures be totally lame? Sunday, August 16, 2009. Pho: The Magical Cure. Somehow I managed to get a cold in the middle of summer. In fact, I got sick during the hottest week of summer thus far. It just feels wrong to be sick this time of year, and the cold I've had has been one of the worst in a while. So yesterday I decided I needed a cure in the form of pho. Seriously, use the Pho Finder.

Cooking * Baking * Eating * Drinking. Would writing about a restaurant visit during which I took no pictures be totally lame? Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Mediterranean Foods Imports, 2647 N. High St. I happened to have a giant can of chickpeas, so since I bought olive oil and tahini, I made my own hummus when I got home. I added garlic, lemon juice, and a bunch of fresh basil from our garden, and it was very yummy :-). I've recently noticed that there's a small Indonesian store. Links to this post. Now tha...

Cooking * Baking * Eating * Drinking. Would writing about a restaurant visit during which I took no pictures be totally lame? Saturday, July 19, 2008. For several years my two best friends from high school and I have been talking about going on a road trip. Well, it finally happened! We drove out to Chicago and spent a long weekend there and, of course, had a great time :-) Of course, I'm blogging about this several weeks late, but such is my life right now. Regular old yellow mustard and ketchup! Haven'...

Cooking * Baking * Eating * Drinking. Would writing about a restaurant visit during which I took no pictures be totally lame? Sunday, August 23, 2009. Grilled Spice-Rubbed Whole Chicken. I've been having fun adventures lately with cooking whole chickens from roasting, to soup, to grilling. Here's a great grilled recipe that I tried from the July 2009 issue of Cooking Light. Grilled Spice-Rubbed Whole Chicken. My chicken spooning its other half on the grill. The finished chicken was delicious!

Cooking * Baking * Eating * Drinking. Would writing about a restaurant visit during which I took no pictures be totally lame? Sunday, May 17, 2009. Yes, I am still alive. Barely. My life has been completely consumed by my masters thesis, but it will soon be over! I have many things to blog about - farmers' markets, gardening, baking, Germany (! Slow cooking, curries, etc. Hopefully, as I regain my life (sort of) this summer, these things will be blogged :-). Until then, check this out. Links to this post.

Dinner (and drinks) by Ken. Thursday, March 12, 2009. Here is a recipe for Portabella Parmesan we've enjoyed a few times. I don't exactly remember where we found it (food network, probably, so perhaps Giada? But it has consistently been an easy and tasty dish. Before the oven (with good lighting) . Portabella caps (1 per person). Olive oil (1 tsp / mushroom). Butter (1 tsp / mushroom). Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Grill mushrooms, 3-5 minutes per side. Thursday, March 12, 2009.

Dinner (and drinks) by Ken: Asian BBQ Pizza
http://kencooks.blogspot.com/2009/09/asian-bbq-pizza.html
Dinner (and drinks) by Ken. Saturday, September 5, 2009. This recipe is one I made up one day as a way to get rid of extra dough and extra chicken I had laying around. I didn't have a lot of other ingredients, so the original version was much simpler than the one picture below, and I think it was actually quite a bit better (I only had a little dough that time, so I had a thinner, crisper crust). 1/2 small roasting chicken (legs and thighs), diced. 1/4 cup hoisin sauce (Chinese BBQ sauce).
