Before we begin, I have to pay tribute to one of the best talking-head interview moments from reality television ever and I’m kind of shocked that in all of my discussion of scallops on this blog, I’ve never done it before now:

Lombardy-style pizza with sausage, rosemary, and an egg on top.
As much as I understand Michael’s desire to minimize the amount of heat that we pump into our apartment during the summer, I still can’t help myself from longing for homemade pizza even when it’s hot AF outside. Part of it is a desire to enjoy the bounty of summer on a pizza crust, and…
Chicken wings with garlic and sherry, Spanish-style.
A very silly problem in the life of a food blogger is that in your quest to try lots of food, you end up neglecting favorite recipes until you make them randomly and then berate yourself for not making them sooner. Having arrived home after a little jaunt a few weeks ago, I was on…
Ceviche ganador inspired by CVI.CHE 105 in Miami.
Credit where credit is due: the only reason why I know about CVI.CHE 105 is due to my dear friend Dana over at The Kitchen Witch. As part of a recent email exchange, I mentioned to her that I was headed to Miami and she recommended this place for its excellent ceviche, so automatically I…
Scallop ceviche lettuce cups via Ina Garten, with a few alterations.
In addition to exploring new places, enjoying some fabulous food and drink, and hanging out with many of M’s colleagues, a small benefit from my recent travels is I get a chance to indulge in some good Food Network viewing. Before flying home from Chicago early in May we had some time to kill in…
Matbucha (Moroccan tomato and pepper salad) with soft scrambled eggs from Israeli Soul.
Last August, after our little venture to Centralia and our college reunion in, M and I took our friend C to Philly so she could get her flight to Dublin and we decided to spend the night in the city and head back first thing Monday morning. We hadn’t properly celebrated Michael’s birthday at that…
Gail Simmons’ Bloody Mary Eggs from Bringing it Home.
Something I’m trying to do as we head into winter is to make brunch at home once or twice a month, in part to switch things up, but also as a way to cook in natural light when the sun sets at 5 PM every day. This doesn’t mean that we will always make something…
On Master of None, making tortellini, and making television.
Can I take a moment and say how smitten I am with the newest episodes of Master of None? We’re slowly making our way through the season–just one new one a week–and as such I feel like we’re SO behind because the various pop culture blogs I follow have already moved on to a bunch…
Simple and fast: spicy chicken thighs brushed with honey and apple cider vinegar.
While usually I’m really, really on top of my meal-planning game, there have been a few errant days where not only do I fail to think of a dish before we go to the store, but I’ll realize the day that I need to cook that I have zero ideas in mind. When this happened…
Sabor de soledad, runny fritatta edition.
Do you have those recipes where you have them flagged for seemingly ever but never bother to make them? On my list of those was a spring onion frittata from Franny’s meant to serve over toast. The primary reason why I held off on this, I think, was poor timing–whenever I would happen to flip…
