Surely all of you have been waiting with baited breath as the success (or lack thereof) regarding the peanut chicken from the other night. Was it a grand success? Or did my roast chicken pull the rip cord during an unfortunate crash and burn. Truth be told, it was neither really.The first pass was neither … Continue reading The Profund Palate Of The Peanut
Deliciousness
In what may be turning out to be a curse, my mother gave me a copy of Jeffrey Steingarten's It Must Have Been Something I Ate to read on our trip to China. Since returning, I seem to be suffering from a Jeffrey-esque obsession with cooking and eating. Last night I had trouble falling asleep … Continue reading Deliciousness
