Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
I still get fish every Tuesday from H&H Fish here in Santa Cruz. I’ve been doing it for years and it’s wonderful every week. Black cod is a lovely, silky, ethereal fish. It’s almost creamy. I like just frying up fillets but this week I used most of it in cod cakes and just sauteed…
The best soups are the “finish the stuff that’s in the fridge with no real plan” recipes. It was the last day before my CSA came and I had a few things left in the fridge. 2 leeks, some sad celery, a package of ground pork and some leftover sushi rice. The result was one…
I had no idea the trout we got from H&H Fish CSF this week was trout until I read the email from Heidi. I thought it was local salmon. It was absolutely gorgeous and fatty. It was also the end of my CSA week so I was down to one bunch of chard and a…
I could eat like this every day…assuming someone could get me sushi-grade fish every day! Serves 2: 1 lb sushi-grade tuna 1 cup sushi rice 1T seasoned rice vinegar toasted black sesame seeds nanami togarashi sesame oil salt soy cucumber radish avocado Cook the sushi rice. While still hot, mix in seasoned rice vinegar. Stir…
I don’t know why I didn’t make fried chicken for the first 40 some odd years of my life. Now it’s something I have to force myself not to make very often because I am over 40 now and do not want to get fat and die. LOL! I probably bust it out every couple…
I’ve declared many times, I DON’T BAKE. I hate the precision, I hate the fact that you can’t fix what you broke part way through (at least not usually). Then quarantine happened. I can’t just grab lovely treats from my local bakeries…I mean, I could but I’m not. I’ve pretty much successfully avoided going indoor…
Last year, my husband began making sourdough. Along with that he concocted another delicious treat to top the sourdough toast. I lovingly refer to it as Allium Goo. Sometimes shallots, sometimes red onions, sometimes shallots and red onions. The first time he made it, I walked into the kitchen and it smelled like Pearl Alley…
Ok, it’s a salad dressing…but when I tried it, I thought, that would be pretty good with some gin. I thought all this time and all this cooking would mean a lot of posts here but I’m just not usually up for writing at the end of the day. Turns out all this isolation from…
Some notes on sourdough starter that I sent a couple friends who got jars going from my starter culture, and then it occurred to me that with more folks I know getting into it, I should probably just post it here and point people to it. You’ll notice that from-scratch sourdough recipes aren’t just lists…
It was a rough one today. I went to sleep last night super anxious. Woke up pretty depressed. It was one of those days where I felt like I could cry at the drop of a hat and just wanted to crawl under a blanket. I woke up to the email that the 42nd Annual…
Continuing our trend of using sourdough starter for whatever we can, this morning brought us sourdough waffles. And many mornings after this will too because now there’s a stack in the freezer. Homemade eggos, baby. The day was filled with work, walking (to get the hell out of the house for a while), and then…
In my world of wanting to make things as normal as possible, I wanted La Posta on Sunday. If we are able to head out to eat, it’s usually Sundays when there’s no commute, there’s no rush on reservations like on Saturdays. It’s a relaxing night. But La Posta is doing takeout Tuesday – Saturday…
Back to work! Well, back to work at home! My son had online school, my husband had work meetings, I had website updates. It was almost a normal day at the office except everyone was here. We all go our own ways for breakfast and lunch. I have no idea what my boys had because…
My husband makes amazing bread. Two loaves at a time. There are three of us. Even with all of us being home all day, every day, sometimes we just can’t keep up. Sometimes we need to get creative and this time the creativity was simple: French Toast! Sourdough French Toast 4 thick slices of yummy…
Sticking with the waste not want not attitude of our quarantine, we started the day with biscuits made from extra sourdough starter. I’m really digging the recipes on Cultures for Health. Soon to come, tortillas and pasta! The biscuit dough was the absolutely perfect texture. Not too sticky which my regular biscuits tend to be….
