Ginger
by Matt on October 18, 2009 in Photos, Reviews
I’m studying for a biology midterm that I have on Monday– one step in a series of many to bring me up to speed on the sciences and get me ready for nutrition school. After a few years out of the academic grind, studying reminds me of a whole range of stress-related emotions that I haven’t felt since college. Anyway, I’m procrastinating, writing a blog post, and eating ginger candy.

Celebrating Weird-Looking Food
by Matt on October 15, 2009 in Photos, Reviews
My favorite type of chip is made by a company called Food Should Taste Good. I also like their name. No nonsense. Anyway, “Food Should Taste Good” but it doesn’t always have to look good.

Oatmeal
by Matt on October 15, 2009 in Breakfast, Photos, Recipes
For the past six months, I’ve started most mornings with a bowl of oatmeal. I think the trend began with a visit to Cafe Rustica, a nearby European coffee shop that offers oatmeal and honey on their breakfast menu. Oatmeal is simple and quick to make yet lots of people still use the “instant” packs.

Zingerman's
by Matt on October 10, 2009 in Photos, Reviews
What better way to start blogging again than to focus on Zingerman’s, one of my favorite food companies. Zingeman’s is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Yes, it’s a long way from Boston, but its Mail Order arm makes it possible to eat fresh, delicious Zingerman’s food, wherever you are in the country.

WTF Bun
by Selina on August 21, 2009 in Baking, Entrees, Photos, Recipes, Snacks, Special Projects
There’s a new, all-natural, safe way to de-stress. Dough kneading. Trust me, after pulling, pushing, and slamming that dough onto your kitchen counter (preferably Bruce Lee style) you’ll forget what you’re upset about 20 minutes ago. Not to mention you’ve exercised your arm muscles!

Big Tree Bottles
by William on August 18, 2009 in Photos, Reviews
There’s nothing like serendipity to get the blog juices going, and there’s nothing like a short walk to the wine shop to get the booze flowing. I started this blog just a few days after the grand opening of Morgan Avenue’s first yuppie wine shop! Big Tree Bottles is now open for business and it’s just a block from my door on Bogart Street.

Heat-Wave Canning

With our upcoming potluck to celebrate the publication of The Joy of Jams, Linda Ziedrich’s newest title, I decided to spend Sunday morning trying out one of the recipes, Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam. It was my first attempt at preserving… anything… and it went well! Once the weather cools down a bit, I’m going to keep trying new fruits and possibly move into the pickling realm.

Beach Bum
by Matt on August 16, 2009 in Beverages, Photos, Recipes, Reviews
Inspired by The Harvard Common Press, its new cooking blog, and a post on National Rum Day, I made a drink from A.J. Rathbun’s Good Spirits, The IACP-Award Winning tome that includes every drink imaginable. As their blog suggested, I lazily mixed up a few “Beach Bums” for a friend’s birthday party.

Cinco de Mayo Food

These were shot when my camera was new and I think I’ve learned a lot since then, but the meal was delicious, so the photos deserve a place on the site.
