let’s get fat and sassy
Not even diabeetus could stop the frantic scarfing of the dish I’m about to convey to you. No photography can make it look attractive. No other food can quash your need for chicken boudine. I have modified a Paula Deen recipe, my friends, and it is delicious like nothing you have ever tasted.
Chicken Boudine
Ingredients:
1 can [...]
Today I tried a simple baked salmon recipe that is actually pretty cheap if you have salmon lying around (because you bought the huge frozen pack that was more cost effective). Simple ingredients, simple instructions, low carb and pretty delicious! Overall I liked the result a lot, though in retrospect I should have made some [...]
I have been moving, which means I have not been cooking, which means I am the laziest bum, but I have returned in the wake of delicious Italian food to bestow upon you the blessings of the greatest of cities, the District of Columbia. Namely, the Weekly Feed column from the DCist, which I’m sure [...]
(EDITED recipe to avoid over-cheesing)
Before I tried this, I thought of mushrooms as just another thing to fill out some chunky omelette. It turns out that the gamy taste of (non-flavorless) mushrooms goes very well with egg. The egg goes from being reasonably tasty protein ‘n fat to tasting like the meat of some delicious [...]
Today I was whining at Karen about how there was no protein in my house besides bacon and eggs (also cheese).

Make me a calzone as fast as you can!
I have a confession to make: I may be developing a girl crush on Giada De Laurentiis. This is despite all the times I’ve expressed slight fear of her huge, toothy grin and the times I’ve mused over how large her head seems to be on her tiny body. Those elements aside (it also helps [...]
It seems bizarre, but prior to this, I had never made proper southern style fried chicken. Sure, I’d dipped a few boneless chicken pieces in breadcrumbs and fries until golden brown, but there’s a world of difference when you do it right. My guide was the episode of Good Eats, Fry Hard 2 [Part 1, [...]
Years ago, Fraz’s grandmother would make her husband dinner, then fish for thanks afterwards. If he didn’t show his appreciation upon the conclusion of the meal, she would say out loud, “Good dinner, Mary Kate!” Since then, it’s become a running joke to end meals with “Good dinner, Mary Kate!” despite whoever actually prepared the [...]
So I was “home” in Durham this past week and acquired a set of ramekins from my mother’s house. These were not the white, rather deep affairs I hold in my heart as the Platonic ideal of a ramekin, but rather short brownish ceramic plates. Still, they were flame safe, and that’s really all that [...]
