I made the Marcella Hazan three ingredient spaghetti sauce recipe, but I added a bunch of ground up Chiltepines and a couple of spicy Italian sausages. It's amazing, and required an extremely small amount of efort.

You mean the burro-pomodoro? Tomato, butter, and an onion cut in half?

Pretty sure I'm gonna make a real Italian style carbonara this week

If you're making a Roman carbonara, Rincon Market carries guanciale now. Best pancetta in town, too (Salumi, from Seattle - $33 a pound). But they also have a "smoked pancetta", which no Roman or any other Italian would touch, but it's perfect with runny eggs and pecorino romano.

That's the one. Perfect for when I'm feeling lazy.

It's perfect, period.

Had Pete's Fish & Chips last night. Awful.

I've been eating a lot of "chopped" salads lately but using coleslaw mix. Spicy Thai chicken peanut, grilled chicken with tahini garlic dressing etc.

I find I like cabbage more than most lettuce.

There are two of them close to my work and they have been slowly going down hill over the last few years.

Not dinner, lunch rather, at a place in Page Springs outside of Sedona: poblano, arugula, chipotle aioli cheese burger with chili powder sweet potato fries and a Barbera from Asti . Goddamn it! it's good to be an American with the juice of indulgence running down your forearms!

I had fish and chips when I was in England and now every time I go for a fish fry here it just sucks.

Yellow bell pepper stuffed with quinoa, wild rice, roasted chestnuts, corn cut off the cob, jalapeno jack cheese.

Roasted a bunch of green chiles tonight to keep in the freezer. Best time of year

Back in Chicago next week for a conference, any new food recommendations?

Publican restaurant on Fulton in Chicago. Delicious, leisurely happy hour with some Czech beer, Belgian lambic, and a plate of oysters, cheese, salami, head cheese, pate, pickles, mustard, sausage and more...

I love Publican. Great food. I’m not usually a fan of big restaurants but it’s perfect just as it is.

Last night was linguine with roasted garlic Parmesan sauce and Italian meatballs.

Vivace for our 25th.

Anyone been/recommendations on the menu?

Haven't been there in a decade or more but every time was really good. Sumptuous veal is all I specifically recall, that and some bodacious babe/owner.

Smoked some ribs.

Grilled French bread, a hockey puck of Brie, blueberries, sliced yellow peppers, sliced cucumber, sun dried tomatoes, walnuts, dried cranberries, a red blend of questionable provenance......and now an equally pedestrian Merlot. Hope the Ducks struggle, look like shit and barely beat the Tigers.

Spaghetti alla carbonara made with my favorite guanciale from Rincon Market, and eggs from Buckeye. Yum!

By the way, Carl at Rincon Market is curing the best corned beef that would kill you.

I make a pretty mean corned beef if I say so myself.

No one doubts you.

Pictures or it didn’t happen. If I can’t eat well myself, at least let me hate you visually.

Cereal without milk.

A Spanish ish style chicken, bacon, and lentil stew with Sherry vinegar and parsley to finish.

What??? Guanciale is available in Tucson??

I remember telling my daughter, 15 at the time, that guanciale was "bacon" in the amatraciana and carbonara in Rome last summer.

Popeyes chicken sandwich.

See now you're really a grown up!

Chinese style tomato beef soup with noodles, daikon, and broccoli:

Savage.


I need more things my kids will like. Right now we are in a stage where their preferences are very specific. One likes red sauce on his string pasta and butter & Parmesan on ravioli/tortellini while the other only likes pesto. One likes pizza and burgers, the other likes tacos and hot dogs. They both like sushi but I’m not making that at home. And they have to be eased into anything new.

Next week the wife is gone on business. Thinking about going nuts and whipping up some obscure shit they’ll turn up their noses at but I’ll enjoy. When they get hungry enough by day 3 maybe they’ll get more adventurous.

I will use coconut wraps for tortillas instead of flour. I won't use carolina reapers either. Habaneros are hot enough.

When in the Verde Valley, go to Oldtown Cottonwood's Bocce Pizza for the best crust around. Only open for lunch on weekends, though. The place literally prints currency.

Donuts, pancakes, bacon, & scrambled eggs.

Now what the fuck am I supposed to feed these heathens for breakfast?

Fuck...

That's a damn good dinner.

No-recipe instinctual roasted leg of lamb with shallots, red wine, anchovies, and thyme. Roasted potatoes and roasted carrots, too. It's 85 degrees out, but what the fuck, it's time.

Brinner is always good

Chile colorado braised lamb shank with tepary beans and corn at Downtown Kitchen. Wife had grilled swordfish with a coconut and aji amarillo sauce with Chinese sausage fried rice and bok choy.

A good Chinese sausage > any other sausage not named chorizo.

I did everything wrong tonight in part due to an delicious huge sandwich that I had late afternoon.

Dinner: pea soup Anderson’s, canned pea soup. Just a small bowl. A tbsp or two of Hummus and half a tortilla.

2hrs later, 1/3 white cake with buttercreme frosting from a party yesterday.

1 hr later, Two hotdogs wrapped in a tortilla with mustard.

I'm making something between a Navajo mutton stew, a Scotch broth, and a Welsh cawl.

I browned some marrow bones, which I'm now simmering in some water before I add mutton leg meat, barley, celery root, carrots, onions, and leeks.

Sounds good to me.

Thanksgiving dinner for us tonight. Smoked turkey looks good!

Smoked turkey enchiladas!
