Dry rub spices, five pounds of pork spare ribs, then two and a half hours of indirect heat from charcoal, damped down to keep it smoky and not too hot, finished by a few minutes on each side directly over the coals with brushed on sauce.

Near Risotto and the artisan olive loaf

2008-05-20T16:55:48Z

I like wandering through the grocer and being inspired by... what's on sale. Particularly the "going bad" clearance sales, if it's something I can fix for dinner that night. Yesterday my browsing was rewarded with 8oz of fresh mushrooms for $1 ...

Swirl-caught

2007-03-13T20:40:23Z

The Vortex strikes again. A foster-adopted-step cousin of mine is separating from her husband and moving back there. Oh, the foster-adopted-step-cousin thing? Yeah, I have a nightmarish M.C. Escher family tree. Anyway, another one pulled back....

Allium in the Family

2007-03-13T01:57:52Z

Onions and garlic make nice at the family reunion, held in my cast iron pan. It made my afternoon. Take one softball sized red onion, and give it a rough chop. Rough referring to the size and shape of the pieces rendered, not the amount of viol...
