This past weekend I had the great pleasure of visiting Stonewall Dairy in Cornwall Bridge, CT and Chubby Bunny Farm, in Falls Village, CT. They are the farms that provide the dairy and vegetables for my CSA. A group of about 30 of us (all CSA members), made the two hour plus drive from Manhattan, early [...]

All you can eat crab
Posted in dinner out, tagged back forty on July 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
As you know, this week I went to Back Forty for their crab boil, held every Tuesday during the summer. I arrived late. Dave and my parents were sitting in anticipation… To whet our appetites, these arrived: fried codfish balls with a piece of yuca (manioc, cassava, whatever your word of choice may be) inside. [...]
Crab!

We just got back from the Back Forty crab boil. I have a belly full of crab (and the dog couldn’t get enough of licking my hands) and am off to bed. More details tomorrow…
Mmmmm, cheese.

Last night I was craving mac and cheese. I did some googling for a recipe and found that the crowd favorite seemed to be Martha Stewart’s. That said, I wanted something a little quicker (I was hungry) with a few less ingredients, so I went with Alton Brown’s Baked Macaroni and Cheese. I must admit, I [...]
Tarty Fourth

Our friends Mike and Jessica had a pre-4th of July barbecue and I offered to bring some desserts. I had a lot of left over dough from the tarts I made for Ed and Anne, and this time around it had ample time resting in the fridge. First, I put together an apricot tart using [...]
Kohlrabi, halibut, and a bit of a time crunch

I invited my friend Ed and his wife Anne over for dinner last week on a day when I normally don’t go in to the restaurant, thinking I would have the whole day to put together a delicious meal for four. Unfortunately, my schedule changed and I did have to work, leaving me with about [...]
Campo

Last week, Tracy and I went to dinner at Campo. Having walked by this Morningside Heights Italian many times on my way to visit Dave at Columbia, I had been wanting to try it since I first passed by. Then, I saw the executive chef, David Rotter, on an episode of Chopped (I was watching [...]
Candy man, Yankee Stadium
Posted in biweekly photo, tagged Yankee Stadium on July 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Last week, my parents, Dave, and I finally made it to the new Yankee Stadium. None of us had the cotton candy, or any of the new culinary options on offer, including sushi, Chinese noodles and dumplings, deli sandwiches, Philly cheese steaks, Southwestern nachos and sausages, Brother Jimmy’s BBQ, and Johnny Rockets burgers and fries. We [...]
Fatty deliciousness

My friend Lisa was in town visiting from Alaska. She lives in a small town and rarely eats out (even if she wanted to her choices are limited) and she had requested Asian for dinner. Dave and I decided on Fatty Crab, known for its flavorful Malaysian street food, which recently opened a second branch [...]
