I made amazing short ribs today. Seared them, made a mirepoix, added tomato paste, soy, worcestshire, a bottle of red, garlic, and herbs, cooked them down, served on mashed potatoes.

Sunday Night Recipes
Tamara has asked that I fill in for her this evening, and I did myself no favors by texting her all afternoon about all the food I was preparing today. I have no one to blame but myself. So I have broken out the emergency tiara and let’s get to work! I did several different …
Roast Chicken–A Poultice for the Soul
Sweet FSM on a pogo stick! I am losing it today, as each new news drop triggers a fresh cycle of rage. Fuck every national Republican (and most of the rest)–sideways with a rusty farm implement.
