Winter is icumen in Winter is icumen in, Lhude sing Goddamm, Raineth drop and staineth slop, And how the wind doth ramm! Sing: Goddamm. Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us, An ague hath my ham. Freezeth river, turneth liver, Damm you; Sing: Goddamm. Goddamm, Goddamm, ’tis why I am, Goddamm, So ‘gainst the winter’s balm. Sing …

local hemp pasta, shallot, oyster mushrooms, 2 chilis, sage
Just after midnight Tuesday I tweeted, aware of the possible ambiguity, “we had local mushrooms and hemp pasta tonight; now enjoying a little California rosé as a chaser, listening to @WilliamBasinski” (we had turned to the Basinski after the Vaňhal symphonies that had accompanied the meal itself). The reality had nothing to do with hallucinogenics, although there was …
grilled scallops, sautéed oyster mushrooms; wilted kale
The scallops were delicious (unless you really mess up, it’s almost inconceivable that scallops could not be delicious), but the mushrooms were really, really good. I can’t account for that success; I’ll have to leave it as one of the mysteries of non-mechanized cooking. [update: I just realized that, in reading my account, the last …
flounder with oyster mushrooms, ramps, espelette; chard
The flounder fillets were beautiful; Warren had just fetched a fresh ‘bucket’ from the truck, and opened it in front of at least one very appreciative customer. They were a little larger than I might have been able to handle in the kitchen before, but I had recently acquired a beautiful new pan that would …
haddock, oyster mushrooms with capsicum, lemon; greens
It was a beautiful balanced meal, beyond the picture, and it included a delicious real Chablis and a fascinating 100-year-old mystical opera that could have been written yesterday. The haddock was really fresh, and with more than a little luck, I managed to cook it perfectly; the mushrooms also ended up just right, that is, …
sea bass, oyster mushrooms; cress; multigrain baguette
I have no idea how it came together so perfectly tonight, but this was one of the best sea bass entrées I’ve ever brought to the table. I’ve just realized, as I write this, how few ingredients went into this entrée. The bass included only olive oil and butter, the mushrooms the remaining fish juices, …
mackerel, yellow oyster mushrooms, ramps, lemon; rapini
I spotted the mackerel first thing at the Greenmarket on Monday. Then I saw the yellow mushrooms, and, a few minutes later, some very beautiful bronze fennel; the meal was now completely assembled in my head. But when I brought it to the table, although I had washed and chopped it, I forgot all about …
cod with ramp fruit, golden oyster mushrooms; okra
I’m getting used to incorporating mushrooms into meals, and I no longer fear taking on the responsibility. I love them, they can alter any dish with a minimum of fuss, are close to foolproof, can often be prepared at least slightly in advance of joining other food ingredients, and most varieties will be easy on your wallet. …
sea bass, mushrooms, aji dulce, basil sprouts; potato, chive
This entrée was very familiar, but also very special, the latter because of one ingredient, a garnish that didn’t want to be just pretty. It was also Good Friday, which still retains some specialness for this cultural Catholic atheist. two 8-ounce Black Sea Bass fillets from American Seafood Company, washed, dried, seasoned on both sides …
sautéed sea bass, chili mushrooms; endive, balsamic butter
This blog has been silent for two months, so I can’t blame my neglect on the plague abroad in the land today. Going forward however, I’m going to invoke the impact of the coronavirus as at least a part of the explanation for why these posts ae going to be more abbreviated than they were …
