Yesterday I asked Rona what she felt like having for dinner, and she suggested “something African.” I started with what I knew we had (chicken, sweet potatoes, and Google) and was inspired to create this stew. It seems somewhat tagine-like, so I say close enough to African. It’s certainly tasty, and very satisfying in the [...]
Cooking With Chef Zoey: Butter with Bread from Evan Sass on Vimeo.
I know, I know… We’re way behind on posting photos or even real honest-to-goodness updates or, well, anything really. So, here’s some food to show we still love you. Or to at least tide you over until we get the photo factory rolling along again.
Evan’s Pressure-Cooker Dhal (Indian Lentil Curry Soup)
Ingredients:
1 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil [...]
“Daddy? Please can you make me some mackincheese, please? With just cheese.”
“Instead of what?”
“Instead of mackin.”
What would you do?
A quick search of our cupboard and the food shelves downstairs revealed that we’re out of the Annie’s organic Mac ‘n’ Cheese, and while we do have an old stash of the regular blue box stuff, [...]
We had another nice relaxing Thanksgiving with the Hesses, the Mashlans, and Auntie Bonnie.
Thanks (heh) to Rona’s new wheat / milk / egg-free food plan, we had to get creative with some of our dishes. Several things were doubled up, with traditional and alternate versions. It was all good.
Ala Alton Brown, we brined the turkey [...]
Yesterday Rona got a Japanese eggplant out to cook and eat for lunch, but Keegan needed (demanded) her so I took over. A quick Googling turned up a nice simple quasi-recipe (more a narrative than an actual recipe). Here’s my interpretation, since I didn’t have scallions, garlic chives, or raw sugar crystals:
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive [...]
Still no little one, so Zo and I made brownies today. I was cruising through some food blogs and came across this new one to me, World on a Plate. Beautiful photos and this delicious recipe for brownies from scratch. It was super easy! We have been snacking on them all afternoon. Enjoy!
From World on [...]
This last Thursday evening I quartered an acorn squash, dressed each piece with butter, brown sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dash of kosher salt, and popped it on a cookie sheet in a 400° oven*. Just about the time the squash started smelling really good, our power went out. We have a [...]

So, now we continue on to the following day. As Evan wrote before, it was a day of waiting. I had to wait for my bp to keep rising. I had to wait for ibuprofen, more blood draws, and the iron IV. Then, I could go home. I was supposed to be able to leave [...]
We had our first annual Green Ronin Publishing Summit this weekend, wherein we got to know one another (with over 90% of us in the same place for the first time since back when we had four people in the company), fine-tuned a bunch of processes, talked shop and smack, and—most importantly—ate!
Nicole made her world-famous [...]
