Partially as an experiment, I left half of this in a bag in the fridge for three days and cooked it up last night alongside some "professional" fresh pasta. Mine won. I ate it with arugula and mustard greens harvested from the indoor graden.

I have made another batch of pasta today to see if the results are easily replicated. I used one eighth of a cup less flour and one less tablespoon of water. Mixed it seems very similar. I will extrude half of it. I think I will make some bucatini.

Results to follow.

As in bison? Yum

I only ask because I do that, but also make "buffalo" burgers: chicken burgers like buffalo wings with a blue cheese and celery spread.

Yes, bison. They were good. Some with brie, some with cheddar.

On the weekend we brined and then hot smoked a chicken. The brine was salt, brown sugar and pickling spices. Between the skin and the breast I did a "deli" rub of mustard seed, coriander seed black pepper and salt.




During the week we had a deli smoked chicken sandwich and a caesar salad where the smoked chicken subbed for both bacon and grilled chicken. After this we still had a breast and more left.

Today was lab confirmation of previous results day. Another batch of pasta to confirm the weekends results.


Too small for macaroni, too short for bucatini but perfect for...




My wife and I have a minor fetish about re-imagining 1950s North American staples as good food. Macaroni casserole, but with homemade noodles, home canned tomatoes, home smoked chicken and fresh herbs and hot peppers from our garden.

8-hour corned beef brisket and cabbage with veggies and a dinner whip I made by whipping cream with smoked salt, then folding in some sour cream and fresh horseradish.

Oh yes KC. Great photo. Stick around here this time yeah?!

I didn't go anywhere!

I have a 15-month old, so I cook and eat well every day, but my presentations have been decidedly less... majestic as of late. Tossed on the plate, if you will.
