From time to time I’ll post content from others. Julian’s already posted one or two items. Today’s feature is by my longtime friend Michele. Enjoy! I’ve tried to teach my daughter the rule of thumb that the first time you make a recipe, you should follow it exactly, to see how it is supposed to …

Thunder Thighs
Turkey thighs deserve a little respect. Sometimes they’re cheaper than chicken thighs, and can be used in the same way as their more diminutive counterparts. One thigh can easily feed two people. You also have a hefty-sized bone to gnaw on in the middle of the thigh. Earlier this week I made a recipe out …

Pizza Raccoon
Friends, I can’t possibly make this stuff up. In addition to the pizza rat video that’s gone viral, another intrepid person with a smart phone captured a raccoon enjoying a slice in Central Park. I don’t think it’s a native New Yorker. It didn’t fold the slice to eat it.

Pie for Strength
Julian grew up in Miami. However, he’s a SINO (Southerner in Name Only) with the exception of two food items: Pie and barbecue. We’ll get to barbecue shortly. He started lobbying for pecan pie over the holidays before Christmas. We had a plethora of cookies and candy in the house, so I put him off …

Rant, by Request
Last night Julian made Thai-Style Chicken with Basil out of a 2010 issue of Cook’s Illustrated. Unlike most stir-fried chicken recipes, this one uses low temperature. He was dubious, as always. His dubiosity peaked when he added the chicken and it took longer to reach appropriate eating temperature than a regular stir-fry. Here are his …

Do the Time Warp Again
This post has nothing whatsoever to do with the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I’m one of about 6 people in my age group who’s never seen that film, mostly because this farm girl’s usually asleep at midnight. (How come theaters never have matinee showings of this movie?) Today we went to a bank in our …

Bacon Baklava?!?
[To my observant Jewish, Muslim, and vegetarian readers: You might want to find less incendiary posts to peruse, like the ones on firearms.] Sunset magazine is one of my go-to reads for recipes. Every so often, it publishes a recipe that goes above and beyond the pale. Last year’s was bacon baklava. I saw the …

A Quiet Dinner
After three straight nights of partying with our friends, it was definitely time for a dinner à deux. Julian roasted an unrolled boneless leg of lamb similar to what I described in one of my earliest posts, although he did it in the oven rather than on the grill. He made the mint-red wine vinegar …

This Year’s Cookbooks
It’s good to live with someone who’s willing to enable my cookbook habit. Even spookier, Julian knew which two cookbooks were at the top of my list: The Food Lab plays into my geek side. (Remember, science is my day job.) Zahav, on the other hand, covers the breadth of Israeli cooking with some non-traditional …
