Why Is The Good Stuff So Expensive?
Posted on September 25th, 2008 by iamnotachef
My grandfather used to go to the local butcher and ask for that long chunk of meat from the back of the cow that nobody seemed too interested in. I am sure that the butcher thought that my grandfather was a bit soft in the head, and probably gave him a good price on what [...]

Another Blog Worth Reading (And Not About Food)
Posted on September 24th, 2008 by iamnotachef
I don’t recall what lead me to Cranky Epistles, but she is irreverent and funny. This post is particularly good because, let’s face it, the dish does sound revolting.

Lest you think that mustard is boring, take a look at the incredible variety available, even in a typical market. And [...]

My Wife Can’t Cook, But She Can “Assemble”
Posted on September 4th, 2008 by iamnotachef
That is her word, and it is actually fairly accurate. I am unsure of the boundary between cooking and assembling, although the margins are pretty obvious. For instance, she can make a mean grilled-cheese sandwich — just don’t ask her to make a Croque-Monsieur; the béchamel is far beyond her capabilities. But a few days [...]
