We’ve been getting into whiskey lately (as you may have noticed). Turns out a lot of our friends like it too. We recently hosted a Whiskey Night. We taste-tested different kinds, drank whiskey cocktails and enjoyed ourselves. The night before we were deciding what to [...]
Sauces and Dips
Thai salad with plum dressing
Having one of us on a teaching schedule is awesome (more awesome for one of us than the other – but still awesome all the way around). Vacation is wonderfully freeing. But with endless possibilities, come the possibility for endless activity — and we apparently [...]

Portobello Burgers with the CK and CQ
We spent a 4-day weekend in July with A’s family — playing cards with Gram (who turns 99 in a month), cleaning the basement, making trips to the dump, introducing Z to Maine, and of course, eating. We indulged in homemade pizzas, grilled cheeses and [...]

Steak and Seitan Sandwiches
We have been going non-stop. A is directing the musical at her high school and getting home around 8 every night. Z is jetting home after work to put those hours into his freelance work and all of this amounts to eating a lot of [...]
Spicy Lime Mayo
Z’s Mom recommended a spicy lime mayo recipe she happened across recently and we thought that it sounded delicious. And let’s be real — isn’t everything with mayo delicious? We tried this with our carnitas and loved it. We would recommend it with anything you [...]
Corn Dogs for Party Time
It seems almost unbelievable that the holidays are over already. After all the shopping, the eating (and cooking), the party-hosting, the quality friend and family time, and the longest vacation we have had together since Z was freelance only in 2010, we are back to [...]

Simple Tomato Sauces
People don’t often order the spaghetti with tomato sauce at a fancy restaurant, but when Z’s friend Diana says to, you should probably follow suit. We were too taken by the description of some other dishes and ordered pumpkin ravioli and rabbit ragu. Oops. In [...]

99 bottles of beer in the fridge
Ok, so we don’t actually have 99 bottles of beer, but we do have a New-York-City-sized fridge and when generous friends bring lots of beer to to our parties and then leave before it’s all gone, we run out of space quickly. Not that we [...]

Fajita Addendum
As if our fajita omelets weren’t enough of a “P.S.”, the fajitas proved to be the food that really did keep on giving. And since just turning the makings of fajitas into burritos may not have been the most exciting for A who gets sick [...]
