Chicken has probably never made an appearance in this site, except in the form of eggs, and I almost never eat chicken out, but I’ve recently become belatedly aware of an excellent source for safe, conscionably-raised – and delicious – poultry lying right under my vegetable-loving nose, so to speak. We have been enjoying the produce of Zaid …

wine-braised goat shanks; polenta; collards; fig ice cream
Esto no es una mole There was no chocolate, and it’s pretty clearly a European formula. The headline read, “Wine-Braised Goat Shanks with Tomatoes and Oregano“, so it just screamed holiday dinner. It was December 25. The recipe was new to me. I found it on a Seattle-based locavore food site, ‘Edible Seattle‘, where it …
vertical bacon & eggs + toast/tomato/leek/aleppo/chives
Sunday, April 5, early afternoon. Okay, it wasn’t Eggs Benedict, but it was foolproof, even first thing in the morning, fun to assemble, and delicious. It was also efficient in its use of both kitchen materials and ingredients, in the way Ellen Swallow Richards, 19th-century chemist and the founder of Home Economics, might approve. The layers …
venison loin, quince relish, celeriac frite, red napa cabbage
It was a very special dinner. It was Christmas, but it wasn’t a Christmas dinner. Also, this was not a reindeer. The special part was that it was the feast of winter, which goes by many names all over the world, but which is always observed at around the time of the winter solstice. The …
December breakfast: bacon and eggs, tomatoes and chilis
It was the first morning of December, so of course we enjoyed local tomatoes with our breakfast. The 2 that I used in this meal, saving the rest for a dinner the next day, came from a small stash that I thought at the time would be the last of a long season, but at …
breakfast with less was a little more
It was good. Although it was a little simpler than many of these mid afternoon ‘fast breakers’, so I had at least metaphorically brought fewer things to the table. There were still a lot of containers however but fortunately I actually enjoy washing up afterward, and have never had a dishwasher, or even wanted one. …
lunch of consequence
After last week’s detour through a one-stop condiment arrangement involving some homemade Zhug, today I went back to assembling a lot of separate things in little bowls for our traditional Sunday bacon and eggs early afternoon meal. It was a lunch of consequence. It included, not necessarily in any order: 6 fresh eggs from pastured chickens, John Stoltzfoos’ …
eggs and bacon for lunch: just give it a good zhug
‘Morgenblätter‘. As someone keen on both journalism and food, I often think of that beautiful 19th century waltz at breakfast time, especially on Sundays. I don’t actually hum it, but I enjoy all the pleasant associations of the word, with the usual exception of the contents of the news itself. Well, it wasn’t our usual …
bacon, eggs, 17 other ingredients (not including ‘Rienzi’)
Lots of things going on here. We had bacon and eggs early Sunday afternoon, as we usually do. Also as we usually do, we invited a lot of things to join us. In fact there were so many things, and they all jumped onto the table so fast, I’m not sure I can give an …
breakfast and lunch, one plate, explaining the maximalism
The eggs themselves were minimal, but it got a little busy with the tomato-salad-salumi-mix. Also, it was both breakfast and lunch, so I figured adding a second cured meat wasn’t totally out of order (actually the few slices of a small saucisson were there because there was so little of it, and because I couldn’t …
