Just Another Melanzane Monday
Is fortune fleeting or is teaching terrible? Regardless, last Monday morning dawned on a calendar free of obligation or care. Aka I got fired.

Zucchini Tagliatelle
Back in the day, about 5 months ago, it was my birthday. You might remember this from the not-so-subtle hints about cooking gadget presents that peppered my posts around that time.

Recap from Italy: Bucatini all’amatriciana

Butternut Saga
My first attempt at butternut squash was five days after my arrival in New York. Katie and I had spent a wonderful day exploring the New Museum, and were winding our way through the Union Square Farmer’s Market picking up goods for dinner. This being mid-October, there was an overflowing bounty from which to choose. […]
