Pandemic Holidays (from Blog )
Nov 15, 2020
Coming up on “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” feels a little like a continuation of a dark Haloween. People drawn inexorably together by powerful forces to infect each other with a deadly virus and kill us all. Maybe there will be COVID themed Christmas Carols this year? I like to cook and eat holiday food. And I really really don’t want to get sick. Just like everyone else. So how about this: [Read More...]

Now Better With Email! (from Blog )
Nov 15, 2020
Last weekend I spent far too long hooking up a contact form on this site. Most of the time was thinking I should do the whole thing myself and be all fancy and technical.

Layout will improve as I have time to build it over time. Images I’m particularly missing for my food writing. Happily, I see examples of what people have done and they look pretty straightforward.

Accidental Omelets: 5 Best Practices (from Recipes )
Nov 6, 2020
A couple of months I accidentally made an omelet. I probably wrote about that in my old blog. Since then, I’ve been continuing to practice. It’s funny to me that omelets are basically scrambled eggs with an obsessive attention to technique. Thus they make sense to me. With practice they have gotten easier to do. Here are my tips and tricks so far. Butter in the pan. I’m using vintage cast iron and melted butter is great for non-stickiness. [Read More...]
