  • Hummus – Tradition and Invention

    Absolutes are dangerous. Of course, absolutes are also attractive, sometimes very attractive because they eliminate uncertainty and create a kind of level playing ground for the mind.  After all, life is so unpredictable, it’s only natural that we’re drawn to anything we perceive as steady, fixed and resolved.  But the truth is, the truth can…

  • Lucky Foods – New Year’s Day

    I am not superstitious. Not very much anyway. Though it is true, as a rule, that I don’t break mirrors, walk under ladders or open umbrellas indoors, and I certainly never, ever utter the name MacBeth aloud in a theatre.  But despite what you may think, it’s not superstition – it’s practical magic.  After all,…

  • Pinto Beans and Cornbread and Sauteed Greens – Facebook Live Episode 5

    In an age of convenience, it’s pretty easy to grab a can of well-seasoned beans, a can of whatever kind of greens – mixed or not- that suits you, and you can even grab a round of cornbread neatly wrapped in cellophane and head to the self-scan checkout in about 10 minutes if there’s no…

  • Turkey Pot Pie with Buttermilk Sage Drop Biscuits

But if you trace further…

  • Chicken Enchiladas

    I’m ashamed, sometimes, to admit the truth of my personal history with the enchilada.  There are two chapters in that story, neither is particularly impressive for culinary authenticity, and I’m not sure which came first: One chapter is set in a Taco Bell; the other, in Velveeta. If you’re an eater of a certain age…
