Essentials: Feeding Your Friends (With Migas)
Just last week I had a "panini party" with friends - very low stress but a lot of fun. We put the press on one end of the table, set up platters of meat/cheese/veg and made a little activity out of it. Really a lot of fun.
Did Robb Walsh Find the Best Burger in Texas?
I like that theory, a lot. I have noticed my local Whole Foods has started stocking jalapeno cheddar burgers in the meat case and while I've yet to try the beef version (the turkey ones were fantastic) I bet there is a lot of truth to his theory.

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
A slice of bread with butter and garlic salt. So gross, but I love it.

For an Edible Container, Try Bacon Bowls
oh, wow.... this reminds me of an old Jamie Oliver recipe I tried once where he put prosciutto over goat cheese and baked it. divine!
Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'
Once upon a time in Southern California, a middle-aged mother tossed a chicken on a beer can, having seen it done on the Food Network just days before. After just a few minutes, the backyard was filled with black smoke. The back fence still has scorch marks!
Essentials: Roast Chicken
I think its fascinating how strong people feel about their roast chicken recipes! I've tried most of the methods listed above and been pretty happy with the results every time, though my go-to is a Jamie Oliver adaptation - sage, chopped pancetta, salt and pepper mixed into butter and shoved under the breast skin and then roasted till done. It's delicious.
Ningyo-Yaki: Molded Japanese Cakes
I was in Tokyo many years ago and there were literally dozens of people standing outside a shack where they were making these cakes. Obviously, we got in line thinking that it had to be good - why else would all these people be waiting? Unfortunately, I'm not one for red bean paste and ended up feeding mine to the pigeons. But they certainly were cute!

When I eat alone I usually make toast and add tuna with a slice of tomato and then melt cheese on top. Yum

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
When I eat alone, the treat is really in not having to choose something to make and not having to cook anything. So I snack on crackers, bagels, cherry tomatoes, toast with butter and jam and especially fresh popcorn.
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
I usually boil some pasta and top it off with an easy homemade sauce consisting of tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and garlic. A little cheese on top is nice, too. kneecree at gmail dot com
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
I live alone, so I eat alone most of the time. I really like the frozen fish that comes individually packed because I can take it out of the freezer the night before or even that morning and I don't have to worry about mediocre leftovers. I also like eating breakfast foods for dinner since making up a nice omelet is a quick and easy meal.
