  • The Tummy Trilogy
    The Tummy Trilogy
    by Calvin Trillin

    I like the way this guy thinks about eating. He writes, “On the road, it became rarer for me to contemplate the possibility that, in my desperation, I might be forced to sidle over to the clerk at the motel, as if I were going to make some innocent inquiry about checkout time, grab him by his necktie, pull him over the counter, and say, in a voice that signified I meant business, Not the place you took your parents on their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. The place you went the night you came home after thirteen months in Korea.”

Fresh Salsa

A picture of better days. Ah summer with salsa made from Michigan ingredients and my two hands.

« Two Years

DateSep 22, 2011 CommentPost a Comment

Where have I been for two years? First, I went to culinary school for one of those, taking a couple of baking and pastry classes. I’m ServSafe certified. Which basically means that I wash dishes really well and I probably won’t poison anybody. Second, I was allowed entrance in the work force. All the while, this pretty little website my husband made for me has been hanging out, getting lonely. I decided to no longer neglect it.

My project for today is huevos rancheros. Not a scoop of beans with salsa on top. No sour cream. No inferior tortillas. I’m attempting to recreate a dish my husband and I enjoyed at Rick Bayless’ XOCO. We’ll see what happens.
