In the office a few weeks ago, I wondered aloud what one does with a sunchoke, aka Jerusalem artichoke (I had one in the refrigerator at home that I needed to use). In response, my boss sent me a recipe for cream of Jerusalem artichoke soup, which I’ve made twice now. It’s rich and decadent […]

My good friend Anjali is one of the most creative people I know. In the 12+ (!) years that I’ve known her, there has never been a time that she hasn’t been working on a new project (or three). These projects have included (but have not been limited to): jewelry-making, sewing her own clothing, knitting, […]
Speaking of Remedy Teas, it looks like they’ve completely made-over their site since I last visited. And they now have a blog.
Kenny and I have been trying a bunch of new recipes lately in order to take advantage of our bi-weekly produce deliveries from Pioneer Organics. Tonight we had a few zucchini and some squash that needed to be used, so we tried a Baked Penne with Roasted Vegetables recipe from the Food Network.
We were 18 […]
To get myself through the week, I bought some Passover-friendly snacks for work like fresh fruit, carrot sticks and pre-made salads (rabbit food), as well a big bag of TJ’s trail mix (squirrel food). It’s a good trail mix - lots of yummy things like cashews, dried cherries, dried cranberries - but it suffers from […]

I’ve been meaning to try Coco La Ti Da - the trendy new dessert spot in the Loveless Building just off Broadway - for a few months. Vidya raved about a great dessert experience there, and a former Microsoft employee that Kenny and I know even landed a job there as a baker.
Well, I guess […]

P.S .If you know of […]
I’m sure Kenny will write a full-fledged review, and I’m not going to try to replace that. All I’m going to say is that if you ever have a chance to visit Drago’s Seafood in Metairie, Louisiana, do it. And make sure you order the charbroiled oysters (they churn out thousands of these every day).
I […]
Tennessee-Style Trash Can Turkey (as Practiced in New Orleans)
Published November 23rd, 2006 in Food. 2 CommentsAs promised, some photos of the trash can turkey…
It all starts with a stake in the ground.
Then the turkey gets impaled on the stake. I believe Gary injected this turkey with something yummy.
The trash can goes on top.
And then the hot coals go on top of (and around) the trash can.
The turkey “bakes” this way […]
