    Kim’s company brought us to the Capital Grille for their holiday party. You could say I ate well that night….. And for those who got the tomahawk – we got a fun chef’s hat as a prize for finishing. Yes, I got that hat!

    Dry ingredients mixed separate from the wet ones, per King Arthur Flour’s Recipe of 2018. I cannot count how many of these things I’ve made since 2018. Sometimes with choco chips, caramel chips, often without. Lately I have considered a recommendation from AI – a swirl of peanut butter. I’m very intrigued by that one.…

    In the air fryer! Ridiculously easy. Sprinkle some oil and stuff on the filets, toss potato chunks with oil and other stuff. Potatoes took 20-25 minutes I think? And probably 5-7m with the fish. Parchment under the fish helped fry the skin better and keep any off flavors from the rest of the machine. Also…

    Sure, it sounds like a seasonal gimmick – but it really is tasty. Willy in fact demands it constantly, so there is quite a stockpile in the basement freezer. Worth a try!

    There’s a new chain up here. You serve yourself beer, and you order food on your phone to pickup at a counter. Its all very.. interesting. Think of the beer like pumping your own gas (foreign in NJ yes) – you pour and get charged by the ounce. And the one local here is in…

    There is a distinct pleasure in running veggies through a mandolin. The speed, ease, and perfect cuts.. really neat. And treading that fine line of “too close” to “that was part of my finger” adds a little thrill! No fingers were sacrificed in this round.. I don’t think. The rest of this meal – Honestly…

    A simple quesadilla is a common go-to meal around here. Trader Joes tortilla, some meat, cheese, maybe some beans – fry up on both sides and done. Ask Willy and half a tub of sour cream is also needed. And while you have the pan hot, and cheese handy..

    Having a delicacy like Taylor Ham available at 2 of the grocery stores I visit (I visit quite a few, I won’t lie!) makes weekends salty in a great way. THE&C never gets the stink eye! This batch was distributed on Bays English Muffins, with some sliced cheddar and Sriracha. Kim’s was served with another…

    Yesterday’s post about the loaf had some potatoes baking as well. The little gourmands here absolutely love twice baked potatoes – pretty sure something I first encountered working at the Marcum Conference Center in college. Anyway, take those cooked baked potatoes, scrape them out, mash with cheese and whatever else you want – jam back…

    When you are making meatloaf but realize it won’t be done in time for those who NEED dinner.. you could make a smaller loaf, or use a muffin tin for tiny muffin-loaf things, or make meatballs. But lately I’ve enjoyed making.. FEETLOAF. They cook fast, and make things a little more interesting. Shape some loaf-mix…
