Update 2023: Sometime in the early 2000’s, I stuck a single stalk of rhubarb into the ground next to the mint and basil. Within maybe a year or two, this turned into a massive colony of plants appropriate for a brachiosaurus. This one is NOT gluten free. I will update it eventually. This recipe got…
artichoke stuffed with brie with whole grain mustard sauce
2023 Update: My first post! This was a nice dinner with then wife Lynne. This appetizer was so damn good, we asked for the recipe. No problem! It’s been replicated; yup – awesome. I looked up Bistro 110 and it appears they closed in 2011. Here’s the article I found. It also appears that Chef…
More data for the nerds!

These last three are the things I say under my breath when I dodge those annoying individuals at a grocery…
It's TRUE! You can't overcook chicken thighs!
After making Gringo Guac, I set about to editing pictures and putting it all together in a blog post. Much to my surprise and Wendy’s acceptance of my spazziness, I had completely forgotten about the chicken thighs I was roasting in the oven. 1 hour at 325℉. Just enough to render out the fat while…

Chickpea Teff Pizza Crust
2023 Update: What is teff? From the wiki… it’s GRASSSS, Man… UPDATE: After researching this, it’s clear i needed to research this before attempting it. More “flour”, less xanthan gum, and add baking powder. Possibly a small amount of plain skyr. I’ll do an updated one soon with pics. Mixture is very sticky. I’ve read…
