January Postmortum

I told myself I wasn't going to post anymore - there's enough to do around here; but I keep losing track of what I've worked on.

A lot's happened since the beginning of 2011 - our stove broke completely, turning into a fire hazard; so that lead to a week of microwave/toaster oven cooking, and an unexpected cost.

The winter CSA is always a challenge - rutabaga are only one of two vegetables I really don't enjoy, spaghetti squash being the other.  I'm not giving up on either, there's got to be a way to make them better.

I'm just going to list what I can remember cooking and fill in as I go.

Weekend Wrap-Up (August 21-22)

Fried Bananas

The weather wasn't so great in NYC on Sunday, so Tom was a little more prolific in the kitchen. He made a lot of stuff, I took a lot of photos. So let's just get down to it, shall we?

Weekend Evaluation: I know I-tey food when I hear it - it's all them 'eenie' foods (aka 'His name's not Fellini, it's Jake')

I feel like I'm only cooking Italian food right now; kind of boring myself, but you don't want to get in the way of these ingredients.  In the summer I usually cook a lot of mexican too, but this year I'm in a Mediterranean rut - we need to have some sopes or something soon.    I guess I shouldn't complain, the next thing you know we'll only be potatoes, cabbage, and winter squash everyday.

Speaking of which - we did finally make it to the Red Hook carts this weekend, the papusa was pretty good and I got my hands on some chicharron and beef tendon tacos.  I do think I prefer Tortilleria Nixmatel.
