I lament. I lament the sorrow and the grief. I lament the pain in my guts from what I have done. I lament I ever saw the knife and the fork. I lament this 4th of July b/c I ate so much food Sunday I think it is only today that I’m starting to come [...]

Once upon a time, it was Romanian week at Ducks Mahal. Tired of the usual peas, porridge hot and peas, porridge cold and some of them leftovers stored in the Frigidaire nine days old. YUUUK!

Nevertheless, St. Agnes was a favored aunt. She grew up not far from my mother; actually, the same room. They had one bed, one chiffarobe, one brush, one mirror and one dowry chest. Then there was the kitchen – a place of expanse and imagination. My mother was nothing of the saintly sort never having [...]

Yelling at each other from one room to the next: The Little Woman asks, “Why do you have red paint on the grocery list?” Me: I’m going to paint the wagon wheel at the mailbox. LW: Make sure to buy Rustoleum. Me: Yes dear. LW: Did you set all the clocks forward? Me: Yes dear. [...]
Beef Bourguignon (aka Beef Burgundy)
Posted in Food on March 1, 2010 | 6 Comments »
(aka Country Style Beef Burgundy) Let’s get the terminologies out of the way first: Mirepoix (meer pwah) is diced onion, carrot and celery and is an essential in most French recipes, even standard Italian tomato sauce. When we open a can of tomato sauce and add an herb, that’s actually more of what is referred [...]

Welcome back to the kitchen. This is where I do some of my best work. FYI. The Little Woman left us – me, the cats, the dog, the ducks and the other critters. No sooner do we celebrate our anniversary does she hop on a plane to visit her daddy in Chicago. She said she’d [...]
