Coffee memories….
I’ve become pretty good at making coffee over the years (I’ve even written about all my various methods of preparation). While it took me a long time to get to drinking coffee, I have to admit my mother’s influence on … Continue reading
Making Alton Brown’s Aged Eggnog, part one
I’ve discovered the last year or two that I really like eggnog. I’ve also discovered that my family dislikes eggnog, so…I get to drink it all! Yay! This year I’m going one step farther: I’m making my own eggnog. Specifically, … Continue reading

How to make a really, really good (and gooey) breakfast sandwich
Fry two slices Taylor Pork Roll. I prefer thick slices. If you’re unfamiliar with Taylor Pork Roll, it’s a processed ham product, not unlike Spam, that is popular in New Jersey. I like it quite a lot…it really is like Spam, … Continue reading

From the Books: “Make the Bread, Buy the Butter” (a repost)
From the archives: I don’t own this book yet. But I’ve had it checked out of the library a majority of the weeks it’s been in the collection, which means that it’s well past time for me to get off … Continue reading

I’ll take “Things Measured by ‘a cuppa'”, Ken
UPDATE, 8/7/23: I have added a clarification below. I’ve heard of a “cuppa joe”. I’ve heard of a “cuppa cocoa”. I’ve made many a recipe with a cuppa flour or a cuppa sugar. This one, seen at the farmer’s market yesterday, … Continue reading
Pizza Hut Memories (a repost)
Earlier today I saw this tweet from a local Buffalo foodie whose content I’ve enjoyed for years: Tried out the new Pizza Hut on Delaware tonight and was reminded that no one outpizzas the Hut I’m sure I’ll get hate … Continue reading

“I feel compromised, a part of an evil empire, when I eat a McNugget.” On Bourdain Day
Born this date, 1956: Anthony Bourdain. There are few voices I miss today more than that of Anthony Bourdain. His warm-hearted embrace of the entire world, his endless curiosity, his willingness to bridge gaps and accept differences–these are qualities our … Continue reading

Restaurants come, restaurants go….
For the last couple of years we’d heard great things about a new-ish restaurant in Buffalo called Compass Run. We finally went there a few months ago and loved it and made mental notes to get back. Last night we … Continue reading

Sadly, we had no canoli….
Tonight for dinner, I made a dish called “Godfather Pasta”. It’s a dish of pasta with a cheesy garlicy sauce, also stirred in with cured Italian meats, banana peppers, roasted red peppers, and olives. It’s freakishly delicious. After we ate, … Continue reading
My Blue Heaven
I learned a new drink yesterday: the Blue Hawaii. This is not to be confused with the Blue Hawaiian, which is a slightly different drink that incorporates cream of coconut. Via liquor.com: The Blue Hawaii cocktail was born at Honolulu’s … Continue reading
