It needn’t be hot dogs, baked beans and beer, followed by root beer floats, as you watch the local fireworks display in your neighborhood. (Incidentally, did you know that root beer has one of the highest levels of the antinutrients, saponins, of all ‘edible’ foods? Not that we should be drinking any kind of soft […]
Read More ›I’ve written about how much fun it is to learn new cooking techniques, and I’ve even done a ‘how to’ post about the simplicity of halving a chicken for recipes like pollo al mattone. Once again inspired by a meal I’m cooking tonight, which involves (you guessed it) half chickens, I felt compelled to review. […]
Read More ›Why not? I love a nice burger, myself, without the bun, of course! But how do you know which ground meat is actually the best? And, for that matter, what’s actually in there?
