It’s dungeness season here in the SF Bay Area, kind of a big deal event. So we were happy to get a delivery from Siren SeaSA. We have a small share, so we got one crab – cooked and whole. It seems like every time we get our share from Siren, it’s a real learning [...]

Macaroni and cheese is one of those things that I just can’t resist. But I’m a purist, and judge me if you’d like, but the Holy Grail of mac & cheese is the old-fashioned Kraft out of the blue box – powdered cheese and all. It’s what many of us grew up with. It’s got [...]
I did something unusual today and made lunch for myself. Not a sandwich or a wrap or something quick, which is usually my solution when it’s just me at home for a meal. And I went decadent today.

Pasta dough is pretty simple to make and can be made ahead of time. It took less than 10 minutes to feed the dough through the machine, [...]
Jay was here for dinner tonight. I haven’t made this dish for a while, but after talking about it with Amy last week, I’ve been craving it. It’s really easy to make and once it’s prepped, it takes under ten minutes to cook. – I like to add chantarelle mushrooms to this, and matchstick cut [...]
