My Week In 4 Photos →

Spring has sprung! And so has my creativity fairy.

With my hands (literally) in several different pots, here’s my week in a few snapshots:

The world, amiright? Rather than get into all that (‘cuz there is a LOT to say), let’s just think about food.

Here’s some photos from some of my recent/favorite food porn experiences. Armageddon or no, you gotta eat —might as well do it like you mean it.

I Made Steak.

And boy did I.

After marinating in a homemade dry brine, this was accomplished with a quick sear on each side + an oven bake at 400 degrees for about 5ish minutes.

Oct-Tapas

Okay, I didn’t make this one. Heaven did.

I’m still daydreaming about this delicious little snack from our last trip to Spain. This amazing Valencian farmer’s market had the BEST snacks. Case in point: this little skewer of goodness featuring olives, cornichons, pearl onions, red pepper, and octopus.

I Made Spaghetti Tenders

Kinda self-explanatory. I was stoned and couldn’t decide between spaghetti or fried chicken.

I picked both.

Bowl features my homemade marinara (made with Taylor Farms tomatoes), homemade pickle-brined fried chicken tenders, and pasta.

Turn the Water Into…

And then, sometimes, you just gotta do a liquid dinner. I don’t usually drink Tempranillo, but I did on my recent visit to Garage Sale Vintage in NYC. In the glass: Bodegas Mas Que Vinos 'Los Conejos Malditos' Tempranillo Carbonico

I know where to find her and I absolutely got the digits.
