Not too long ago, I found myself looking up the rules on roasting chicken for no good reason. Sadly, I didn’t get very far in my research because I quickly stumbled upon an intriguing link to a recipe on Martha Stewart’s website, and soon I was totally sidetracked. The recipe in question came from Lucinda …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Ina Garten’s Tuna and Hummus Sandwich
Earlier this week, I made a batch of Ina Garten’s wonderful tuna salad in anticipation of assembling her Tuna and Hummus Sandwiches — one of her few healthy recipes. Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve since made some hummus (partially Ina’s recipe, partially my own), and today, I was able to finally move forward …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Revisiting Tuna Salad, Courtesy of Ina Garten
I had a downward spiral at the supermarket today. No, I wasn’t depressed or anything, but it was one of those trips where I walked into Fresh & Easy starving and emerged with much more than I had anticipated to buy. I just wanted a few basics, but then I got to thinking that it …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Oxo Garlic Peeler Cook-Off Edition
Back in late April, I posted about Oxo’s garlic peeler, promising that I’d give a free one away to whomever submitted the best tasting garlic-centric recipe. I shockingly did not receive a huge amount of submissions, but nevertheless, there were entries, and I did eventually whittle them down to two finalists. The contenders: RachWho?’s Roasted …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Mapo Tofu
With the premiere of Big Brother last night, I wanted to cook myself a dinner that would honor the show in some way. I ultimately settled on a much lauded dish from Fuchsia Dunlop’s Sichuan cookbook Land of Plenty. The recipe in question: Ma Po Do Fu, or Mapo Tofu as it’s commonly known in …
ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Farewell To Oprah Potluck Edition
In case you didn’t hear, Oprah aired her final show yesterday, and in honor of this momentous occasion, some of my friends and I decided to celebrate her twenty-five years of TV glory by cooking up a Harpo-themed potluck. The rules were simple: just bring something inspired by Oprah. It could be one of her …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Testing Out The Pizza Stone
Recently, I acquired a complimentary pizza stone from CSN Stores with the caveat that I must review it — a task that I was more than happy to undertake. The product in question: Fox Run Craftsmen 3-Piece Round Pizza Stone Set. That’s right: this wasn’t just a stone. It was a set. Color me excited.
ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Mint Fudge Ice Cream Edition
I’ve been on a small ice cream kick lately ever since I procured David Lebovitz’s food bible, The Perfect Scoop. Actually, it had been more of a chocolate sorbet kick, but last week I decided to elevate my game with an attempt at mint ice cream. It’s difficult for me to have ice cream without …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Chocolate Peppermint Pattie Sorbet
Hey, remember my ice cream maker? In case you don’t, I landed one last summer and up until three weeks ago, I had used it exactly three times. I’d made chocolate ice cream, honey-rosemary ice cream, and chocolate frozen yogurt. And then it sat on my shelf for many months untouched. Every time I had …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: This Sandwich Actually Works
Back in junior year of high school, my friend Nicole once brought a most bizarre sandwich into History class. It was some concoction her mom had made, and it was so bizarre that I just had to take a bite. Much to my surprise (and to Nicole’s), the sandwich was actually really, really good. For …
