The October Vegetarian Challenge
This is a post I had been meaning to make back at the beginning of the month, or even earlier, but a variety of factors (laziness, procrastination, a sudden glut of time on my hands due to being immobilized) has delayed things until this point. One weekend in mid September, I was prepping a birthday…

Recipe: Dorothy Richards Ribs
When my dad was a teenager, he had a job as a janitorial assistant in a hospital in southwest Michigan. While he was working there, he got to know a lady who hailed from the deep south who had a killer recipe for ribs. She gave him the recipe, which we’ve held on to since.…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 14: Clam Chowder
A few weeks ago I decided that I wasn’t going to wait for the weather to cool down any more, so on a weekend when it was 80ish degrees outside, I made clam chowder. The recipe for said chowder came from my Two Guys One Pan cookbook, and it was amazing. This was the first…

An Eventful Weekend (warning: includes Minestrone)
I’m working late on a two-day week (yes, if you use a couple of days of PTO to plug the gap between a national holiday on a Wednesday and the weekend, you can make a nifty little two-day work week for yourself) waiting on a virtual machine to finish converting, so I thought I’d post…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 7: Crock Pot Pulled Pork
After taking several weeks off, I decided it was time to get back into the 40 recipe challenge. This was the first thing I’d done since coming back from California, and it may actually spawn one or two other really good recipes in the next week or two. I had looked for crock pot pulled…

Sushi Review: Party Sushi
Tuesday I decided to strike out on an afternoon of wandering, and since I was alone and my friend has a pretty bad shellfish allergy, I figured it was as good a time as any to grab some sushi. I did some searching online to try and find a sushi place that wasn’t either a…

Inertia, Bachelor Style
The weirdest thing happened to me tonight. It was about 6pm. I was still at the office, mostly because I had run across an intriguing Mac problem around 4:30 and didn’t want to let it go (the customer runs on CST, so they weren’t really staying late because of my curiosity). That issue had been…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 3: Classic Marinara
This is another one of the recipes I pulled from the Two Dudes One Pan cookbook. It’s used with the ricotta and pancetta-stuffed pork chops, but since I only used half of the sauce on the pork chops, I threw the other half in the freezer for a week or so with the intent of…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 2: Ricotta and Pancetta-stuffed Pork Chops
Last weekend I took a crack at a recipe from Two Dudes, One Pan, a cookbook that I got a few years ago and never really took a close look at. I was flipping through it a few weeks ago and figured that this would be a good one to try. The recipe also calls…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 1: Lasagna
I had mentioned previously that one of the things I want to do this year is try about 40 new recipes, either completely untested before, or revisits of family recipes that I haven’t ever done before. Last night I took a crack at lasagna, based on my grandmother’s recipe. Here goes: Grandma’s Lasagna 1 lb…
