Friday Night Photos: Liberty Park in Salt Lake City (Kalyn's Kitchen)

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:22:00 GMT

Friday Night Photos is where I share pictures I'm taking just to practice using my camera, and this week I thought I'd share some shots of the park six blocks from my house where I sometimes walk. Even though I don't like everything about Utah (with winter and local politics topping the list) it definitely is a beautiful place to live. In this shot you can see those famous Utah mountains

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:51:05 GMT

If you've stayed up watching convention speeches all this week and plan to next week as well, you, my friend, are a political junkie. The fact that you're reading Slashfood probably means that you're also a foodie. You're not alone. The LA Times recently published an article on political cookbooks, and there's a long and entertaining tradition. From the "How to eat like a Republican" to the "Watergate...

Caprese with Pretty Organic Heirlooms (Albion Cooks)

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 02:23:00 GMT

I'm really enjoying the heirloom tomatoes this year! This caprese was made with a delicious selection of organic heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fruity extra virgin olive oil from A. G. Ferrari, white balsamic vinegar, basil, French sea salt, and ground pepper. I recently attended an heirloom tomato class, where the chef recommended blending heirlooms that contrasted, both colorwise and texture-wise....

We take Lavender for granted as an ingredient in perfume or potpourri mixtures, but it also happens to be a delightful addition to all manner of sweets, savory dishes and even drinks.

Thoughts On Early Birds (Burrito Blog)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:58:41 GMT

Anna's MIT opens at 7am. I like a big breakfast and a nice walk on a sunny day. The early bird gets the worm. Sometimes though, the early bird gets pooped on by another bird, the kind with wings an no concern for humans below. Then the early bird has to go back home to shower. I heard it's good luck to get bombed with bird dung. I disagree. I think it's just something people say to make themselves...

[ mousing over an individual picture will tell you what it is; clicking will go directly to that post ] For painfully obvious reasons (or is it "obviously painful?") I will be foregoing the hot girl-on-grill action this third and last of the three biggest grilling weekends of the year. A tragedy, really, with all the burgers , steaks , and ribs that have been taunting me. Incidentally, for the 20,000+...

Who knew Maine had good cheeses? (Slashfood)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 21:41:12 GMT

Filed under: Cheese , America , Artisan Foods I was surprised by the number of restaurants, such as the Pentagöet Inn and Atlantica in northeastern Maine, that had local cheeses. I never knew how delicious the cheeses from Maine were until recently. I discovered four luscious creamy cheeses: Bleu Velvet, Golden Ridge Camembert, Seal Cove Chèvre, and Eleanor Buttercup. After savoring these cheeses,...

Fast fish and slow corn (The Epi-Log)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 21:44:37 GMT

File this under women behaving bizarrely: I've actually been cooking for myself while my consort has been off in Denver. My new alternative to the burrito has been the perfect summer supper, crispy sauteed flounder and corn on the cob, both of which cook in about the same amount of time. Interestingly enough, I have had no trouble buying a tiny piece of fish at the Greenmarkets (maybe it's because...

Pickled Smoked Goat (Hot Knives)

Sure, it sounds deceptively carnivorous and a little barnyardy, but this standout sandwich, which we concocted for our most recent grilled cheese experiment, deserves an arresting name. A more accurate description might be "chevre-salad-sammich." See? Not as cool. The...
