• Burgers and Hot Dogs, Day 2

  Too many burgers and hot dogs. A family barbecue we attended yesterday had this unusual surplus, even though we tried our best to help out.

• Sausage Stylus May Be the Ultimate IPad Accessory

  You may recall the news in February of South Koreans using snack sausages as a "meat stylus" to control their iPhone touchscreens in cold weather while wearing gloves.

• DIY Bacon

  Bacon. Mmmm. What's not to like? Well, all the salt and preservatives in the processed stuff, for starters, says a report by the Harvard School of Public Health and discussed in today's Guardian.

• Grass-Fed Argument for Beef: Salpicón

  There's no way to write about eating meat these days without offending someone, so I'll just plunge in and say we're guiltier than ever before. A farmer at our neighborhood Greenmarket recently seduced us with his grass-fed beef, and it's so good we seem Read More...

• Steak and the Skillet

  My consort thinks anything worth doing is worth doing to perfection, while I'm pretty much in the git-'er-done camp.

• Liquid Asset for Smoky-Tasting Brisket

  Liquid Smoke was the running joke at my Loscar party. Most of the guests had never heard of this magic seasoning, and one said it "sounds like it should be a drug."

• Backyard Bunnies - Too Cute to Eat?

  I've been too busy wondering what my neighbors would think of chickens in my tiny urban backyard to realize that birds are so last week - we're on to rabbits now, apparently.

• Polenta, Ready for Company

  I think we've served polenta to company exactly once, way back in the last century, and I still remember my consort lamenting that it was "farmer food." Puddled on a plate, it definitely looks like what I grew up eating: cornmeal mush. Which is too bad, Read More...
