And clink this link to see Kian’s (my stepson) first animated film. It’s extremely violent. Maybe this is how Tarantino got started?

This Thing About Lasagna
I have always maintained that, if you are an Italian-American from the NY-metro area (and parts of NJ & Conn, too) that you are either in the mafia or know someone who is. (And, for what it’s worth, I fall into the latter category. ) I have a similarly sweeping statement about those of Italian […]
Entertaining With the Sopranos
SCORE!!! I stepped into my department’s conference room this morning to find a pile of books free-for-the-taking boxed up on the floor. I poked around and YES! There it was…. Entertaining with the Sopranos. Do you know how long I’ve wanted this book? Do you know how big a Sopranos fan I am? (Do you […]
Garlicky Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil
Click image for source. This is just so good. But when you combine fresh tomatoes and basil with extra virgin olive oil, garlic and Parmesan, it’s hard to imagine something bad! (Looking forward to tonight’s leftovers…) One thing though: I think12 oz of pasta (as the original recipe calls for) overwhelms the sauce. You may […]
Pork Chops with Country Gravy
I love, love, loooooooooove comfort food. Homemade mac-and-cheese, lasagna, meatloaf, mashed po-taters, apple cake, PB brownies, banana bread; the list goes on. I lurve them all. So pork chops with country gravy are right up my alley. Here, boneless pork chops are lightly coated in seasoned flour, pan-seared until golden brown, and then topped herbed […]
La Festa al Fresco Submission: Honeyed Zucchini Muffins (or Cupcakes?) with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
Once again, Lis from La Mia Cucina and Ivonne of Cream Puffs in Venice have teamed up to host La Festa al Fresco. The event is a celebration of fresh, seasonal (and preferably local) ingredients. Such a good idea, no? So, armed with plenty of zucchini from my neighbors’ garden plus 2 lbs of fresh, […]
Vegetable Tian
Our neighbors, Chris and Shelly, are about the nicest neighbors anyone could ask for, always ready to lend a hand. Or a vegetable — Shelly sent over two giant zucchini and an equally large summer squash on Sunday, grown in their backyard garden. The squash & ‘zuke were perfect for the Vegetable Tian recipe I’d […]
Saturday Morning Food Expedition in Rochester, NY.
My friend Nancy & I knocked around Rochester this morning, hitting the Rochester Public Market, Charlie’s Frog Pond and Stever’s Candy. Click this link and take a look! (Photo #31 is kind of NSFW.)
Grilled Flank Steak with Corn, Black Bean and Avocado Salad
Image source. I’m still shocked this is a Weight Watchers recipe: it’s casually elegant, tasty, and there’s nary a “diet substitution” in sight. I can’t say I detected the garlic or lime flavors on the beef, yet it remained tasty. And the salad is terrific, fresh and flavorful. For an added dimension of flavor, I […]
