Popcorn Chicken February 1, 2013 | 2 Comments

We usually have a holiday party, but this year the holidays were crazy. Chanukah started with the CQ’s milestone birthday and then flew by and was over before we knew it. We didn’t get our tree until the 22nd. We barely had time to cram [...]

Buttermilk Chicken April 20, 2012 | 6 Comments

We feel bad for A’s Grandma. While we’re sure she wished for grandchildren, we bet she didn’t wish for a vegetarian, a nut-free, an egg-free, a gluten-free and a kosher one. I mean, come on! So, this Easter we did our best to help out [...]

Fajita Fun: An Embarrassment of Riches September 20, 2011 | 8 Comments

We have so much to tell you about. Where do we even begin? First, we had a cooking flop this week: Chicken/Tofu Tikka Masala. Ok, so it wasn’t a total flop. It tasted good, but it definitely wasn’t Tikka Masala. We will let you know [...]

BBQ Chicken and Summer Pasta August 19, 2011 | No Comments

When the cooking world is your oyster, the question “What should we have for dinner?” is simultaneously thrilling and daunting. The follow up question: what are you craving? Zach: Chicken and BBQ sauce. Amanda: A light summer pasta. Typical. But that’s what we got. We turned [...]

Buttermilk Fried Chicken July 22, 2011 | 3 Comments

It is about 1,000 degrees here, but it turns out that fried food and spicy barbeque sauce tastes good even if you are already sweating. Ok, so it isn’t quite that bad, but we couldn’t help complaining to a semi-captive audience. As for spicy food [...]
