what is your crust?

thin vs thick. NY vs. Chicago

morning rituals

coffee, cream, sugar, stir three times

cereal addition in the off season

frozen berries slowly sinking in milk

a little off the side please

animal hair is not a condiment

selling your house

smells of fresh bread and cookies

winter desert perfection

Caramelized pear, caramel sauce, ice cream

a good sandwich

medium rare meat, mustard, horseradish, bread

spicy is better

deli meat sliced thick with mustard

traditional preparation

roasted leg of lamb, mint jelly

farm fresh

the orange yolk bleeds over toast

things to make hash from

corned beef, pastrami, potato, turnips, salmon

what would you want for a last meal?

mac and cheese with truffle oil

bell peppers

juice that tastes fresh as summer

not a snow cone flavor

Don't eat the yellow snow today

easy quiche

whisked and poured over cheesy leftovers

perfectly poached

Egg set gently into simmering water

many a souffle

egg whites, beaten until stiff peaks

inside an omelet

spinach, ham, cheese, tomato, avocado, mushrooms

the bit that oozes out of the pita

wipe away tahini with my tongue

wanting summer food in winter

sun on my face, ice below

deep fried dough and sugar

elephant ears never forget, until eaten

country style yum

slow roasted, covered in BBQ sauce

casserole 101

soup, noodles, chicken, vegetable, crumbs, cheese

crab cakes

shredded, mix with crumbs, egg, seasoning

things that come in purple

cabbage, onions, berries, eggplant, heirloom broccoli

adding an exotic touch

floral scents wafting through the kitchen

late night snack

buttered popcorn, salt, and hot cocoa

things you don't usually see in winter

pineapple, blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, sweet corn

resolution broken

Let the new diet begin - tomorrow

baked in a crock

macaroni, ricotta, hazelnuts, and truffle honey

happy new year

lentils, confit, bacon, sausage, onions, baked
