peach margarita

Friday, August 21, 2009

Our farmer does a really good job including a variety of vegetables in our produce share, including some weird things I’ve never heard of before (like Chinese long beans, or pink okra, or white eggplant…). But even he can’t escape the fact that we’re in Georgia, the Peach State. For the past few [...]

When I first read about a drink called the Pimm’s Cup, I think it was Bon Appetit… It was suggested for an outdoor grilling party, and it sounded like grown-up PJ. (Is PJ a universal high school experience? A bathtub full of Bacardi 151, fruit juices, and pieces of every kind of fruit [...]

This is my favorite drink from Food 101 Atlanta. While I don’t have a recipe to follow, I’ve tried to recreate what I’ve had at the restaurant. It’s become one of my favorites, especially as the weather heats up… The important part is the J. Love passionfruit vodka, which gives the drink [...]

It’s Friday, and it’s definitely happy hour. I know I need an old-fashioned today after a long work trip this week to Santa Cruz, and the frantic pace of catching up with everything today. While A’s drink of choice will always be single malt scotch, I’ve never really liked it. This is [...]

This recipe ended up only being “inspired by” the original in Food & Wine magazine. I fully intended to try it unadulterated, but ended up finding a good deal on NY strip (as opposed to skirt steak) while at the same time NOT being able to find fregola. (Side note: while I couldn’t [...]

We’re officially in my favorite sports time of the year - NFL is in full swing, and college basketball is just getting going. I start planning my meals around the games, since making sure you’ve got some great snacks is just as important to me as making sure you’ve got your jersey on (for [...]

roasted halibut with citrus olive tapenade

In my quest to eat fish once per week (our previous trend of steak 3 times a night was probably more fun for me than my arteries), I’ve discovered the simple pleasure of this combination: olives and fish. Yes, really. This unique tapenade would work well on top of any white fish, either [...]
