I’ve been holding out on you. I’m sorry. These burgers are one of the best things we’ve been eating over the past several months, and I’ve made them many times. They’re one of the things we like so much that I made multiple batches and …
Pasta, like Mexican food, is another one of those things that doesn’t exactly get fair air-time on this blog. At least not in a reality-to-blog kind of way. I’d guess that we eat some kind of pasta for dinner at least once a week, especially …
Part of me regrets adding to the cacophony of asparagus-centric recipes on the internet right now. But it’s a very, very small part of me. Like a toenail’s worth. And I don’t pay much attention to toenails these days, (Pedicure? What’s a pedicure?) so who …
Marmalade is one of those foods that I always desperately wished that I liked. The way the word rolls off my tongue, the rosy, bright glow of it in the jar, the idea of sweet, but tart stickiness on my hot, buttered toast… it all …

Several weeks ago, I saw a recipe for preserved lemons (another goodie from Jerusalem: A Cookbook… I seriously need to get that cookbook already!), and decided it would be a fun thing to try. I had a huge bag of lemons, so it seemed the …
This doesn’t happen very often, but I had a very hard time deciding what to call this salad. I know, I know. You just call it what it is. But this salad isn’t just what it is. It morphs. Hmmm… maybe the “magical morphing salad” …
