A New York Bagel

nobody@vox.com(Two Butt Kitchen) — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:58:04 -0800

Ask any person who has lived in New York City and since moved away what, if anything, he misses from New York and his answer will be one of two things: "Pizza" or "Bagels". I've already posted about pizza (and will again soon), but I want to tu...

Mole: "this is like food porn"

nobody@vox.com(Two Butt Kitchen) — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:39:06 -0800

I (L) met mole at Rosario's (possibly not the best, but always my favorite Mexican restaurant in San Antonio.). Rosario's is where you took visiting family when you could get them away from the River Walk and into the more interesting areas of SA...

Fried Chicken

(L here) The reasons to love fried chicken are infinite. Crunchy skin, juicy meat, a topping of gravy, the inevitable mashed potatoes, the ambrosia-like nature of cold fried chicken as a midnight snack....I could go on. Fried chicken exists in o...

On Sundays during the football seasons of my childhood, the special treat was queso. I would eat it for hours, somewhat careful to not drip cheese on the book I was reading in lieu of watching the game and constantly having to reheat after it ine...

Pizza!

One of my favorite dishes that my father made when I was still living at home was his pizza. The toppings would vary, but the crust was always the same recipe, and was exquisite. It was fairly thin, certainly not Chicago-style, but nor the very ...

Pasta Carbonara (aka Pasta with Peas)

nobody@vox.com(Two Butt Kitchen) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 10:14:19 -0800

L here - I've never really succeeded in making this dish, though it is theoretically quite simple. The origin of the name comes from its first big fans, charcoal makers. Italian laborers covered in coal dust apparently have a lighter touch than ...

Rosh Hashanah Challah

nobody@vox.com(Two Butt Kitchen) — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 18:11:34 -0800

R here... Back in the depths of time before L and I had the thought of starting this blog, I made a challah bread for Rosh Hashanah which I happened to take a couple photos of, so my dad could see it. The recipe (or, formula, I guess I should sa...

Mac & Cheese

nobody@vox.com(Two Butt Kitchen) — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 17:58:31 -0800

L & I make Mac & Cheese, from the box, most weekends. I usually make it because I'm better at it than she is, generally. The instructions on the side of the box (Kraft, natch) are ok, but I prefer to mess with them... I like a less runny chees...
