Our $78 broiled macaroons
My wife’s mission to make me the perfect macaroon continues… but at what cost? The oven caught fire the last time I tried to bake macaroons. Perhaps the cooking gods are telling me to leave these sort of things in … Continue reading
Stuffing Chicken Breasts
Here’s another how-to post. I like this process whenever I use cheese in stuffing because hardly any leaks out. As you can see the breast is deboned, but I left the skin on. This is for a few reasons: it … Continue reading
The Quest for Greens
As a Yankee in the south, I try to fit in as best as possible. Of course my perfect, non-regional, diction usually gives me away. Alas, I am cursed with the ability to complete a sentence without a minute pause … Continue reading

Super Sandwich #1
This example of an insanely delicious sandwich is courtesy of a dream I had. A dream where I also discovered how to create world peace, end the dependence on fossil fuels, and stop Michael Bay from directing movies. Thankfully, I at … Continue reading
Cornflake Chicken
This dish is one of my wife’s favorite comfort foods. Her mother made it when she was growing up and she taught it to me. Of course it is really just homemade shake and bake, but that is what makes … Continue reading
