Deb at Smit­ten Kitchen had this recipe for Shak­shuka, an Israeli Spicy Tomato Stew with Poached Eggs that I really wanted to try.  See, it looked really easy, a one pot dish that you built by lay­er­ing fla­vors, and when the stew was basi­cally done, you popped in a few eggs and poached them in […]

Okay– I admit that my fridge and pantry con­tain ingre­di­ents that are not “aver­age.”  But I still have to clean the sucker out and use food up before it goes bad.  Times are tough, starv­ing chil­dren in Africa, it’s a sin to waste food, or you’re just a cheap Yan­kee like me– any way you […]

Here, chez BLC, the joke with gro­cery shop­ping is to be extra care­ful with the bag with the eggs.  “Hey, be care­ful, there’s eggs in there!” is the invari­able cau­tion.  Which makes every other “be care­ful” warn­ing turn into “hey, there’s eggs in there.”  Yep.  One line, one trick ponies.
So when I was con­tem­plat­ing the […]

Yet again, I find myself besieged by car­rots. I some­how got a five pound bag of car­rots in my Boston Organ­ics box that I know I didn’t order, but there it was, and there it remained. I have slowly begun using them up, but I think I am going to have to add […]

The end of the goat milk inci­dent, orig­i­nally uploaded by Bipo­lar­Lawyer­Cook.
You may recall my abject fail­ure at mak­ing goat cheese.  I there­fore made lemon­ade, by mak­ing a bacon & (Boston Organ­ics) potato gratin with thyme, salt & pep­per, and a pint and a half of thick­ened goat’s milk. Who says fail­ure is bitter? […]
