Cook the Book: Eugenia Bone's 'Well-Preserved'
Raspberries! Our canes produce enough berries for us to have jam throughout the winter until they start bearing fruit again. Also, not homegrown, but I recently cured my own lamb bacon. It was awesome.
Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt
Carbonara. I was so happy when Marcella Hazan's recipe worked. I substituted some lamb bacon that I cured myself for the pancetta in my most recent batch. Very nice.
Cook the Book: 'Serious Barbecue' by Adam Perry Lang
I consider it a triumph whenever I gain control of the grill when it's steak time.....Mom likes them leathery. And that's just wrong.
Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
I appeared on a British cooking show that was shot in my favorite taco joint in Cambridge. I was stuffing a huge burrito into my face at the time.
Domino’s Launches Line of Bread Bowl Pastas
This sounds like Dominos' answer to the wretched KFC Famous Bowl. I hope that Patton Oswalt does a takedown of this one too.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
County fair food! Pulled pork sandwiches, fresh kettle corn, and deep-fried EVERYTHING! Good thing the fair comes but once a year.
Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'
I burnt the hair off of just one of my arms on the Independence Day a number of years ago while lighting an unfamiliar gas grill.
How to Make Peeps from Scratch
I gave this a try, though my pastry bag was too small and my skills with said bag are lacking. My attempts at small peeps ended up looking like dog leavings, and sure enough, the marshmallow that couldn't fit in the bag soon became too solid to pipe. But it wasn't too solid to sculpt with my hands: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanhoy/3431793349/

The scary thing is that it only took ten burgers' worth of grease to create.

Oh my, let's complain about carbs every day for the rest of our lives, but eat all the fatty meats and cheeses we can, because I don't want to live past the age of 50. Carbohydrates are energy, it's simple. What can you do without energy? If you say ANYTHING in response, you're uneducated. Every single person that I have EVER heard complaining about carbohydrates does not hold a degree in Biology (or Physiology for that matter). I digress; ultimately you do whatever you want, and enjoy your myocardial infarction and, probably, death.
One more thing, about people who are obese, quit blaming it on hypothyroidism. In fact, about 7.0% of the world population actually has it.
Have a great day.

chimichurri with anything

I went to a Brazilian BBQ place once, having heard how awesome the whole experience was. I was looking forward to some beef, cut off the roast at the table and all the side dishes. Unfortunately, we arrived between lunch and dinner, and had to order something from the regular menu. I think I had a half decent chicken sandwich and fries or something. Real let down.

Hard to beat steak with a good chimichurri. Empanadas with chimichurri come in a close second. Buenos Aires home cooking can be a culinary adventure because of the cultural diversity of the city.

Empanadas for me, too. Yummy.

Causa-it's a delicious Peruvian dish made with seasoned potatoes and chicken or crab, I'm a seafood fan so I usually make it with crab and it goes pretty quickly around here!

Doesn't get much better than chimichurri steak. The best!
