restaurant – Canterbury’s Oyster Bar & Grill

I had the lovely opportunity of a menu-tasting at an Oyster Bay, Long Island’s classic establishment – Canterbury’s Oyster Bar & Grill. I’ve been here a few times before, but only for drinks during the Oyster Bay Oyster Festival. The location is right off on Main Street, with other local classics nearby such as Oyster…

restaurant – MP Taverna

It is with great regret that I have to confirm the closing of a favorite local restaurant of mine – MP Taverna. Although their Astoria location has closed (and is being replaced with another small restaurant chain I also adore – Burgerology), I still would like to do Chef Michael Psilakis some justice with this…

recipe – Czech sausage cauliflower

For whatever reason, I have a strange affinity for smuggling local foodstuffs into the US when traveling overseas. Going through customs is always a little worrisome for me, but knock on wood, I have yet to be caught. I’m reeeally going out on a limb here and assuming y’all reading this aren’t gonna snitch on…

recipe – caramelized leeks and barley

Leeks hardly get enough representation in recipes, which is so unfortunate. Hell, my boyfriend didn’t even know what a leek was until I brought a bundle home one day. He thought they were large scallions; to which I had to explain that they kinda sorta were, but weren’t. Leeks have this mild onion flavor that…

recipe – chicken, tomato, basil sexy pasta

I think everyone needs a fancy-ass, elaborate-looking recipe in their repertoire. Even more so when it’s easy as fuck to make. And I gotchu guys! Most of these ingredients are things you should already have on hand, and if not, super easy and cheap to get on your way home to woo your impending dinner…

recipe – cheap & easy ramen cabbage noodles

Update: Top Ramen – Not just for broke college kids anymore. Now, also available for broke adults such as myself. At 33 cents a packet in my local grocery store, and even cheaper when buying in bulk, these bad boys have become a staple in my cooking repertoire. Plus, the best part about this recipe…

recipe – spam & egg sandwich

Being born and raised in Hawaii, I can confirm that Spam was a way of life. It comes mixed in your fried rice, tops your ramen noodles, and is the most important ingredient in your favorite 711 snack (yes, you heard me right) – the Spam Musubi. It was so commonplace that I never bothered…
