Cheesy Tomato Bake
As a child, I hated tomatoes. I thought they were disgusting and went as far as telling waitresses I was allergic so they never touched my plate. I have no idea what was wrong with me because tomatoes are amazing. There are so many different kinds, that each offer their own distinct taste and smell. I love wandering around farmers markets picking out the best tomatoes and eating them sliced with only a pinch of salt and pepper. So when looking for a good tomato side dish, Marla, suggested this Cheesy Tomato Bake recipe that she grew up eating. It was easy, delicious and required very few ingredients. Continue reading
Sushi Making At Home
Last week, Kendall, Evan and I made sushi in my apartment. I’ve never actually been more proud of anything I’ve made in the history of my cooking. It could easily have been a disaster, but the rolls we made, turned out just as good as any legit sushi place I’ve been to in awhile. I’m not claiming to be the next Morimoto, but for an American making sushi for their first time ever, without following instructions or watching instructional videos on Youtube, it was literally a miracle. And even without considering those things, it turned out exceptionally well. Continue reading
Williamsburg Brunch: Two Door Tavern
Two Door Tavern is pretty awesome. It is located at 115 N. 5th Street between Bedford & Berry in Williamsburg. Most brunches are 14.95 and include an alcoholic beverage of choice (Bloody Mary, mimosa or draft beer) AND either coffee (including iced,) or tea. There are a few meals that cost up to $4 more so the most you’ll be paying is $19, unless you continue drinking and then the possibilities are really endless. One great thing about Two Door Tavern is that there is never a wait, even during prime brunch hours. Meanwhile, across the street at egg. there is an hour+ wait list. While egg., is fantastic, Two Door Tavern isn’t too far behind. Continue reading
Grilled Cucumber Pickles?
When my sister, Alison, asked me if I’d ever made pickles by grilling cucumbers before, I honestly didn’t know what to say. I was surprised that you could even made pickles this way, that I had never heard of the grilling method at all, and somewhat confused why she expected I had. To my surprise, these were actually pretty good and easy to make. We didn’t really follow a recipe. Alison looked at what spices we had and threw a dash of each together, so I think the spice list is pretty flexible. Continue reading
