Friday Fun: Better Junk Food through Science
As you may know, I do the soccer-dad thing really badly. I do okay as a stay-at-home Dad—except that I always seem to be behind on the housework. But I am so glad I don’t own a minivan! I don’t know how I would cope if I had to cart the neighborhood kids around everywhere. [...]
The Lazy Man’s Chocolate Pie
This year, we’re making pies for our family Thanksgiving feast. All of my brothers and their families all gather at my parents for the day. C is making pumpkin and lemon meringue. But my favorite, I think, is still my own Lazy Man’s Chocolate Pie. Hardly original, but still full of sugar and calories, and [...]
The Lazy Man’s Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry… at least the leftovers
Yesterday—which is when I’m actually writing this—I told the Missus, “You know, every time I make a new dish, I should take a picture of it as a matter of course. She agreed without hesitating. Because I had made dinner Sunday afternoon, and we had eaten our fill, and only then did I think that [...]
The Bread Machine Chronicles: Homemade Hot Dog Buns
My first experiment with using the Dough cycle on our bread machine, to make homemade hot dog rolls: success! True, some of the rolls came out looking a little funny, because I had never rolled homemade bread before. But the good news is that the rolls we rolled last came out the best, so we [...]
Friday Fun: Craisin®-Nut Bread
From now on, I’d like to try to regularly post something simple, lighthearted, and fun each Friday, because I know I can get pretty intense sometimes. Today, I thought I’d share a bread machine recipe that’s become a big hit in my house. Margaret and I got a bread machine for our wedding, almost 16 [...]
Bacon-wrapped, chicken-stuffed-duck–stuffed turkey
I think I’m going to be sick. I thought of filing this under “Health – Weight Loss,” as a joke, but even I’m not that cruel. Another recipe just too disgusting not to take a look at. Like a fatal accident on the highway, everyone just has to slow down and take a peek. From [...]
I Can Practically Hear My Left Ventricle Slamming Shut
Seen on Twitter & Facebook, courtesy of Allison Driscoll, a recipe for a woven bacon-cheese roll. This is definitely not kosher, and it may not even be legal in all 50 states. -TimK P.S. The subject of this post is blatantly and unabashedly ripped off from a funny Frasier quote, regarding “eggs in a nest”: [...]
Honey-Curry Chicken (Kosher)
This is a honey-baked chicken recipe that we make every year for our synagogue’s Passover seder. But we like it enough that I tend to make it all year round. I was whipping up a batch for Sunday dinner tomorrow, because my parents are coming over to visit, and I mentioned it on Twitter. One [...]
