Now, I must admit, until the last few years, no one in my house ate […]

And the beat rolls on. Hopefully by now, most everyone has abandoned their resolution and is pleasantly enjoying their wave of delicious comfort food. Today’s edition is dedicated to my wife because I first made Killer Mashed Potatoes for her.

Friday night was date night for me and my wife and she REALLY wanted to see Twilight. We compromised for our date night. First, we went to go to Spin (which I like) […]

One of my Tweeps, Felicia Slattery, responded to one of my pleas for inspiration with the suggestion of talking about what you can do with pumpkin other than make pie. Since the appearance of pumpkin en masse in grocery stores, I’ve taken an interest in this myself (see my recipe for Pumpkin Baingan Bharta) and […]

So at some urging from Judy, here is my recipe for fried artichokes, which was heavily inspired by the same dish at La Bodega in Kansas City, MO. It is the perfect combination of salt from the “ham” and sweet from the garlic vegannaise.

8 large artichokes
3 tablespoons corn starch
4 slices of tofurkey lunch meat […]

Baingan Bharta is my third favorite Indian dish (after the Rucci fry at Rucci in Overland Park, KS) and Cauliflower Manchurian, also known as the greatest meal ever. For those not familiar with the dish, baingan bharta is an eggplant curry made from ginger, garlic, chilies, and cilantro.
But You Said Pumpkin
That’s right. Baingan Bharta is […]
