As in “happy as a”
Here are some facts about clams:
They are delicious! While they steam they emit this stunningly tasty broth. Look into it.
They are cheap, esp. for seafood! $5/lb is the price for Manila clams down at the Berkeley Bowl, and that is definitely enough to feed two people.
When you buy them… they are STILL ALIVE. Creepy, eh?

Vodka Cream Pasta
I tried out vodka pasta the other day using fresh ingredients from the farmer’s market! Here’s the recipe I used:
1 quart of roma tomatoes (or 1 can of crushed tomatoes) – a quart was about 8 or 9 tomatoes for me
3-4 cloves of garlic
3/4 cup finely chopped onion or shallots
1/2 cup peas
1 cup vodka
1/2 cup [...]

Namely, the Weekly Feed column from the DCist, which I’m sure [...]

Gemelli with Smoked Salmon and Creamy Vodka Sauce
This recipe from the Food Network (Emeril, to be exact) is one of my favorite pasta dishes because it actually is really easy to make but tastes like a restaurant dish. There’s quite a bit of chopping involved, but nothing is really difficult to chop. I made it yesterday for people and it [...]
Chard is HUGE
I really love this blog, if only because it encourages me to cook by providing a reason to take more macro shots all the time. Anyway, I wanted to cook something relatively simple for the manhaus, so with Fraz as my sous chef, we made fettucini with swiss chard and chicken with a gorgonzola and white [...]
