How to Make Gefilte Fish Video -scroll down for recipe This might put me on some people’s shit-list, but when I was in middle school we hung out with a kid named Brandon who was not Jewish and we were not Jewish and in fact I didn’t meet my first Jewish person until I was…
Read MoreWilted Spinach Broccoli Salad with Bacon – Old Lady Recipe #5
Once upon a time there was an annoyingly healthy spinach salad that sort of sat around all day looking pert and perky and full of nutrients, basically making an ass of itself, like it was some big deal or something. Whatever. Then one day an old granny came along and dumped a bunch of magic…

Read MoreShepherd’s Pie!!!
Shepherd’s pie has got to be one of the yummiest things on the planet and I can not BELIEVE it’s taken me this long to post about it. It’s kind of weird, like I used to make this a lot when I was vegetarian, but then I started digging on the animals again and left…
Read MoreCorned Beef and Cabbage
As promised, and just barely in the nick of time, here’s how to make corned beef and cabbage out of that home-made corned beef brisket you made last week!
