Duck Fat Biscuits & Boar Sausage Gravy…

By brian | Published: January 29, 2012

“I have seen the face freedom and eaten it.” – Eldridge Cleaver after schtupping Pat Nixon. My nephew gave me some sausage he had left over from a boar he shot a few weeks ago. I wanted to do right by it. This morning I cooked up a variation of my biscuits and gravy recipe. [...]

Crack Infused Waffles

By brian | Published: December 9, 2011

My eminently tasteful wife picked me up a Waring waffle iron for my birthday a few weeks ago. Since that time I’ve been on a bit of a waffle bender trying to get the recipe right, marrying the perfect amounts of crunchy outside with light and fluffy inside. This morning my face found the philosopher’s [...]

Awesome and Easy Pate

By brian | Published: December 5, 2011

This is a totally simple and tasty recipe for a liver pate that I snagged out of Cook’s Illustrated. It calls for chicken liver, but I made this with goose liver’s from Gephardt’s last time. For our annual Christmas party this weekend I’m making it from beef liver. I’ve not used beef liver before and [...]

Pan Fried Bone Marrow

By brian | Published: November 29, 2011

It would really hurt to put hot, liquid marrow into a syringe and shoot it into your arm or eyeball so Michael Ruhlman has this satisfactory alternative for using bone marrow to activate your pleasure centers: “To cook the marrow, roll them in flour till they’re completely coated and sauté them in canola oil over [...]

Put Thanksgiving In My Face & Then Leave Me Alone.

By brian | Published: November 21, 2011

Our country of fat fucks are about to hit their annual apex of indulgence and I couldn’t be happier. You see, I fancy my self a fairly learned sensualist. Certainly, at times, my adventures slant nearer towards escapes than escapades, but I’m comfortable with my batting average. And what kind of sensualist demands perfection anyway? [...]

Positive Progress in the Hunt for Fenugreek in Homebrew

By brian | Published: October 26, 2011

Ok, so I finally got to the end of the two-week alcohol extraction of fenugreek seeds that I found digging four pages deep into a google search on fenugreek and maple syrup alternatives. The experiment was successful though I did need to make some adjustments. I wound up using twice the amount of vodka as [...]

More Homebrewing with Fenugreek

By brian | Published: October 5, 2011

My water extraction experiments were vaguely successful last week, but didn’t yield anything I felt would be worth jamming up a whole batch of homebrew on. With the water extraction I found that the whole seed, untoasted and cold steeped for a day, offered the best results. I put 1 tblspn in 4oz of water. [...]

Michael Ruhlman in Chicago

By brian | Published: September 27, 2011

Michael Rulhman’s book “Ratio” is one of the best things that’s ever happened to my cooking. It is typically my first reference when approaching a new dish and has helped me understand how I might someday develop my own voice with cooking more than any other book or experience I’ve come across to date. But [...]

Experimenting with Fenugreek to Replace Maple Syrup

By brian | Published: September 26, 2011

I wrote about using fenugreek in homebrew to replace maple syrup last year about this time. I’m finally getting around to trying this out. I had hoped initially that a cold steep would be my answer for extracting the maple flavors and tastes from the fenugreek. Several experiments with that have proven that unhelpful. Instead [...]

When I’m dead, you must braise me

By brian | Published: September 23, 2011

I’ve had a longstanding agreement with the 4-bar degenerates in my life that, upon my death, they will slow cook my better cuts serving using my carcass as the serving station, Old Country Buffet style. Further, my wife and friends have been clearly instructed to have a moog rendition of “Send in the Clowns” sent [...]
