I’m going to try to take a Thanksgiving holiday break from thinking or writing about Trump-related issues. It’s a health and safety thing; I just can’t cook turkey and dressing, make gravy, mash potatoes, etc., while contemplating an asshole-punching rampage through the center of town. So, Thanksgiving. My sister is a vegetarian, and Thanksgiving is …

Saturday Dinner: Roasted Leg of Lamb With Root Vegetables
While TaMara made a return last night with her recipe exchange, I thought I’d go ahead and slip on the tiara, frilly apron, and matching oven mitts and get to work. For your gustatory pleasure, I proudly present a roasted bone out leg of lamb with root vegetables. The recipe is really very basic, …

Sunday Evening Open Thread
I love to cook, but I don’t usually bake — it requires too much precision. But I made some blueberry scones today that turned out pretty well: I used a recipe from Epicurious, modified slightly to account for the dearth of Meyer lemons (had to use regular instead). My kiddo is on a road trip, …
