Anyone else obsessed with James Bond? Anyone? I feel like I don’t meet many females around my age that have gotten into the series. A lot of the guys that I’ve met have seen them. My mom is obsessed with Connery, so she’s definitely seen his. (She told me today she was watching Moonraker last…
Is this world important? Important? What’s that mean, important? Six billion people live here, is that important? Yes, Doctor. This world IS important. It’s ours. For years now, I’ve been creating recipes honoring the doctor. This year, I decided to open it up to the rest of the 6 billion people on this planet. I…
I’m going to be upfront with you. I’m not a full-time food blogger. I have a day job. Sometimes, it’s a time-consuming day job. Sometime I don’t have a lot of time to write a full-on story here about why I made a recipe and what it means to me. I made coconut mango rice…
When I started Bacon & Legs, I was more of a pun fan than a bacon fan. Sure, I loved it. Who doesn’t? ESPECIALLY recovering vegetarians. It was a remarkable treat. But the blog was more or less about fun comfort food with some wit. A few years later and bacon has woven itself into…
Get ready to Chang your point of view. Do you watch Community? I’m sure you do. Everyone I know watches it, yet it had shitty ratings. That tends to be how it is for a lot of my shows. The poorly written, cliche-filled laugh track comedies get to live on for years and years while…
Ingredient-specific beers get me going. Especially when the brewers take such care in selecting their ingredients. When I tried Bison Beer’s Organic Honey Basil Ale, I knew I had to cook with it. I’ve been hammering out the recipe for a couple months, but I have it fine-tuned for you guys. Crispy salted flatbread with…

This super simple and delicious dish is fancy enough for guests and easy enough that you don’t have to spend your whole holiday in the kitchen. Plus there is lots and lots of piggy in it. Merry Oinksmas! Porky Tenderloin and Porky…
I’ve been listening to some Christmas music… a lot of Christmas music… lately. But I’ve been actually listening to it and processing the lyrics. I have to say, I don’t like what I’m hearing. I’ve even put together my list of Top Five Most Fucked Up Christmas Songs. Merry Little Christmas – I thought this…
As I write this column, the snow is falling outside my new place in the Cleve. I have moved from my beloved Philadelphia, where I have been for my entire adult life, back to my home state. While I am sad that I will be leaving so many wonderful people and places behind, I am…
I haven’t really done a Halloween recipe for you guys this year. This is likely the closest you’ll get. The vibrant orange of the mushrooms and the glossy black of the balsamic reduction make it festive enough for my liking. Next year I hope to be less busy and more in-your-face. I actually received these mushrooms,…
