It’s Not So Hard to be Humble
Toasted breadcrumbs, duh! (Slaps head…) Why do I always forget about them? So easy, so incredibly delicious, and quite light to boot, since one piece of bread and a couple of teaspoons of olive oil make enough garnish for three servings of eggs or vegetables or pasta or fish or potatoes. In fact, there are…
Sunny Sunday Frittata
Sunday morning, a cup of hot coffee, a sunny forecast for plus 50 degrees, a few leftovers to mess around with – life is good. I can’t wait to scoot out the door for a long afternoon’s walk. Granted, there is still plenty of snow stubbornly sticking around. But not enough for complete ground coverage,…
Good Morning. Or Afternoon. Or Evening.
Here’s a quick, perhaps lighter version of an all-time favorite, described (and photographed) deliciously in this New York Times article – polenta with eggs and greens. The article outlines a naughty version with lots of butter and cheese (in my world known as polentaaaah), which would of course completely rock. But my version is actually…
Fast Food
While I love to mine through cookbooks and spend a whole day cooking, in reality, that doesn’t happen very often. More likely I make dishes like the one above – in my mind a warm salad, a way to incorporate as many vegetables as possible into a 10-minute lunch. I start with some olive oil,…
Endless Coolness
Photo of Eggs in Purgatory, from Tiny Kitchen, Tony Cenicola/The New York Times I could spend a month continuously mining just today’s version of the New York Times website and still not make a dent in it. It’s a faux-productive time-waster’s dream! There’s of course “all the news that’s fit to print,” but when you…
25 Things…
OK, if you’re on Facebook (FB), you know all about the 25 Random Things About Me lists that everyone is circulating. If you’re not on FB, it’s basically a semi-viral exercise where people write 25 things about themselves and send it around to their friends, encouraging them to do the same. There are those turning…
We’re Still Celebrating…
Holidays still going strong here at the Levy Hacienda… Let’s see, we’ve pretty much been celebrating since Sunday when my bro and sis David and Etta accidentally arrrived – flying from NYC to Billings, MT, through Minneapolis, they missed their connection and couldn’t secure another flight until Wednesday morning. Woo hoo! Well, not for them,…
Happy Anniversary Browns
Ahhhh, it’s good to be home, as usual. We had a great time yesterday, hanging with Jon & Amy Brown, showing them all around the Hamptons, sitting on Georgica Beach, wrapping up with a romantic dinner (for their anniversary!) at The American Hotel in Sag Harbor. Man did I laugh yesterday, seriously, my stomach was…
David’s Not Too Cool for Minnesota – But It’s Close
Happy Labor Day! Flew by, of course, as all holiday weekends do, but this one was particularly fun because my brother David was here. That meant extra hang time with Stacey and Cooper too, and as a group we had a grand old time. We pretty much just chatted, cooked, ate, and hung by the…
Real Foodies Make Their Own Cheese
I’m not a Foodie, not really. Oh, I love to cook and eat (and talk about it!), of course, but I’m way too lazy to be a real Foodie, the kind that strives for the very highest quality and most unique of food experiences. I’m much more likely to let someone else crawl the city…
