Start with this recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod. If you have chocolate chips and brown bananas, then you probably have all the ingredients for this banana bread. Follow all their instructions, especially the room temperature eggs, cooled melted butter, and kosher salt. I used light brown sugar because it’s what I had. Dark […]
This one’s quick. I had a southern craving, some collards, and some black-eyed peas. I sautéed up the greens with some onions and tossed in the peas. I seasoned with garlic and cayenne pepper.

Who am I to judge the state of your vegetables? The following is a Facebook Messenger exchange between myself and someone we’ll call […]
Dear Readers,Anjali finally wrote this recipe for her dreamy french toast. Enjoy.RSW I made French toast, and started writing this recipe about 14 years ago, back at the start of quarantine. And, back when the dark humor mixed with New Jersey sarcasm didn’t seem all that mean. Alas, it took me until today to finish […]
