Welcome to my blog where I like to talk about FOOD! It is a loose documentation of kitchen experimentation, Michael Pollan fantasies, and recipe ideas. Enjoy.

delish.













these photos aren't justifying enough savory goodness.

modified summer cob salad.





paul's mom's bean salad (modified) atop a garden salad.
  • bean salad - perfect for summer, i've been making it a few times a week...
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 1 can corn. and if you like corn as much as i do, do two cans. and if you like corn even better than that, make it fresh by boiling a few cobs for a minute with 5 inches of water, a pinch of salt and sugar, and then grilling it for 4 more minutes, and slice off cob. mmm.
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can gorgonza beans
  • 1/2 european cucumber, diced
  • 1/3 fresh jalapeno, diced (be careful cutting it, cover your hands and remember to wash immediately afterwards, my hands and eyes were burning a full day after...)
  • 1/2 squeezed lime/lemon (with pulp) OR a tblspoon of lemon juice from bottle. depending on what you like.
  • a shit ton of chopped parsley and or cilantro. i like both.
  • a couple tblsp of mayo.
  • a couple pinches of sugar
  • salt/pepper as desired
So that's the bean salad. mix that in a big bowl and you'll have plenty of leftovers that won't last long. And I put a cupful atop this garden salad
  • ice berg lettuce (it's all i had...)
  • fresh bacon :)
  • diced tomato
  • mexican cheddar
  • crumbled feta
  • lime juice
  • s/p
