introducing the broke-ass kitchen.

hello! it’s been a while since i’ve posted on here, huh? it’s not because i haven’t been cooking… i’ve just been writing about it on the other site i write for and edit, broke-ass stuart. 

i started a weekly feature on the site called the broke-ass kitchen, realizing that most of my friends were always in awe of how often i cooked despite not having a ton of ingredient money to do it. cooking my own food is actually how i SAVE money, so hopefully my recipes can help others do the same.

check it out if you can! otherwise, you’ll see more of me when i get my weekends back after the nyc marathon (gulp!).

welcome (back?)

hopefully on purpose, you’re now on the new incarnation of my food/music/randomotherthingsiwanttotalkabout site, burning down the house. i feel good about this, don’t you? let’s (m)* to this new beginning.

* it’s a virtual fist pump! you should probably get used to it.

happy birthday, dad!

thanks for keeping me in line.

in his honor, this week i will perfect a recipe for one of his favorite foods and mine to prepare for the super bowl: chicken wings! more soon…

my funny valentine.

i picked up my new valentine in the dollar bin at target, so i don’t have high expectations for things to really flourish with him.  still fun to give it a try, no?

Soundtrack: Curtis Mayfield- “Move On Up”

ps – it’s restaurant week, nyc! i’m still glowing from the stout-braised lamb shank with aged cheddar polenta and green apples at park avenue winter last night. thank you to mo for great company and bite swaps.

time to go duck hunting.

the blog’s first post on this first day of 2010 just so happens to time out perfectly with the rose bowl, so i am very excited to have an excuse to write about osu football. today the buckeyes face the oregon ducks in the “grandaddy of them all”, which i will watch from mugs ale house where $7 will get you a burger topped with cheese, bbq sauce and onions next to a side of fair-style fries… one of the best deals in williamsburg. GO BUCKEYES!
