All Photos: Kelly Rossiter I have to admit that I have come to grilling fairly late, because I always had my husband do it. I fell for the cliche that the grill was the domain of the man, but in fact, my husband doesn't really cook. After one too many of what a friend of mine calls "burnt offerings" from the grill, I put on my grilling apron and took over. Now I actually think about recipes for grilling instead of just tossing something onto the barbie. 1.

It may not be the kind of meal you settle down to the night before you run the New York City Marathon. It’s probably not an ideal meal for anyone looking to tackle a pre-dawn jog. It’s definitely not for anyone with any aspirations to, let’s say, make it into work on time. It’s not the kind of meal you eat if you have any pressing need to put on pants the next day. You know, this is not a meal for anyone who plans on ever actually getting out of bed. Why is that? Use the best cheddar you can buy, since it’s such a major player in this soup, along with a decent brown ale, like Newcastle, or a pale ale like Bass.

In the mean time, I used a grill pan to grill up some Balsamic BBQ Glazed Grilled Chicken, and steak. It was simple and delicious, and will definitely go on my list of meals to make again!

Tomato Basil Pizza. The other day, I was looking at the overload of tomatoes that I bought as the season was winding down as the end of summer nears. But I realized that I was being gradually shoved out of my small kitchen by them, so I oven-roasted the louts with garlic and herbs to reclaim a few precious inches back of kitchen counter space. Yet when they were finished, I looked in my refrigerator, and there wasn’t any room in there either. So I was left holding a bowl of roasted tomatoes that needed to get used up. Coincidentally, I also had a round of yeasted dough in my refrigerator from a batch of recipe testing that hadn’t found its meaning as something else yet—as experimental leftovers are want to do.
So I took it out, which made room for the tomatoes – but then I realized that was defeating the purpose, so I decide to use both of them. (Am still stunned to see some vacant space in my refrigerator. But I may keep it empty as a constant memento and testament to my frugality.) (I know, I know. Pesto. Baked Tomato, Garlic, and Basil Bruschetta Bites. Finger foods are my favorite kind of food—to eat but not to make.

Mainly, there was the vegetarian issue: most everything at Momofuku is heavy on the pork. But there was also the line-out-the-door issue. I am very grouchy when it comes to waiting to be seated, especially because I know I could have pasta on the table at home in just a little more time than it takes to boil water. Call me curmudgeonly, but that’s how I roll. So when I was invited to partake of Momofuku’s Pork Bo Ssam at a friend’s birthday feast, I went without all that much expectation, only knowing, via Google, that it was the restaurant’s Americanized form of a pork-centric Korean dinner. When I made the butt at home, I have to say I was pleased with the results. From my kitchen, where I’m borrowing a little Momofuku magic, to yours, Cara, THE QUARTER-LIFE COOK **Recipe** Slow-Roasted Pork Bo Ssam Serves 5 Adapted from Momofuku Cookbook by David Chang.

General. Sexy Pancakes. Fluffy Pancakes | Blogger For Hire. This pancake recipe is the result of mixing and matching different recipes from many different sources. It is the result of trying and failing so many times, that I almost declared pancakes as the one breakfast recipe I couldn’t master. But I persisted, and this recipe is perfect – as perfect as a pancakes recipe can be, because making pancakes does involve frying, and frying is something that each of us needs to play with. It changes depending on your type of stove (gas or electric), on how hot the skillet is, and on how evenly hot you manage to keep it while frying multiple batches.
But the instructions here are as close as it gets to “perfect,” and the result? Truly fluffy, puffy pancakes that are never heavy or dense and that are flavored with a pleasant vanilla aroma and taste. This recipe makes 16-18 pancakes. The four of us eat 2-3 each, and the remaining freeze very well. Fluffy Pancakes Makes 16-18 pancakes. Directions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Serve with warm maple syrup and berries. Cinnamon Roll Waffles. Cinnamon Roll Waffles I’ve had a tough time forgetting about those Cinnamon Roll Pancakes that I posted a few weeks ago. So much so that I started wondering what else I could do to replicate the Cinnamon Roll. “Why not waffles, too?” I thought. I experimented… but it was a flop. I went with a buttermilk waffle… plain, with no cinnamon filling added. I drizzled the cinnamon-sugar filling on top. I figured… why not? My ideal cinnamon roll always has cream cheese icing, so a cream cheese icing drizzle was in order too. Lots of cream cheese icing, please. I could hardly wait to take a bite… to see if this whole Cinnamon Roll Waffle thing worked out. That’s about all I could eat.
