It was Easter last Sunday, but I’ve had a bit of a back-blog (a blog backlog). While y’all were all out there roasting baby sheep or pig thighs or whatever you do to celebrate Christ’s resurrection (if you celebrate Christ’s resurrection), we were over here eating mac & cheese. Wingo Mac is a long-guarded secret […]
Did you try the delicious, fluffy buttermilk pancakes? Are you annoyed because you bought too much buttermilk and don’t know what else to do with it? Look no further than this buttermilk biscuit recipe. These were *good* but not *great.* It’s probably my fault. The butter wasn’t super cold. The honey butter glaze was magnifique. […]
Taco guts are (obviously) the inside parts of the tacos. You can eat them with or without the tortilla. Tequila is the drink you drink when you have tacos. Or when it’s Tuesday. Or any day really. This entry has two recipes: Taco Guts and Tequila Drank. Taco Guts: As we previously established during the […]
It finally happened. Anjali had been threatening to harvest the overabundance for weeks. We ate dandelion greens. Weeds. We ate weeds. It helped (didn’t help) that our yard is full of them because we’ve lived here for one a month and given nothing more to our lawn than two really bad haircuts with the jinky […]
I went to a . . . special . . . high school. Our mascot was the controversy-free Unicorn. UNI PRIDE! Yes, all you NC mascot buffs — I went to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. Part of this story is that the state funds the school, so where budget cuts are […]
I noted in a previous post that my Saturday started with fluffy, delicious buttermilk pancakes and ended in fire. It’s time to explain. See, on Friday night Anjali and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. With classic Wingo “nothing-to-see-here” nonchalance, I picked up several large branches and carried them back home. There’s no […]
Hello! Is it somewhere in the 2pm to 3pm range? Are you hungry because you accidentally fell into an email rabbit hole so deep that you forgot to eat lunch? Are you still too figuratively snowed under to take a proper lunch break? Do you live in Minnesota and are you actually still snowed under […]
Saturday started with fluffy, delicious buttermilk pancakes. It ended in fire. More on that later. The only acceptable recipe comes from The Joy of Cooking by Irma Rombauer. Do not be fooled by any other recipes. They will tell you that there should be more flour and less butter. They are wrong. Once, in a […]
In our effort to eat all the things before all the things go bad, Anjali and I have been keeping a list of soon-to-be expired food on our fridge. The broccoli, a sad tomato, and the leftover ricotta from the Spanakopita a Trois had to go. And thus Lemon Broccoli Pasta was born. Step 1: […]
We previously noted that once a week, we are patronizing a local business to keep some cash flowing in their direction. Today, Anjali went to the dirt store (what I’m calling Funke’s Greenhouse) and then stopped by the College Hill Coffee Company to pick up coffee and baked goods. Anjali didn’t know it at the […]
