I made this banh mi recipe tonight. →
The only modifications I made were less mayo (I didn’t have a lot of mayo in the fridge to be honest), so the sriracha-to-mayo proportion was a little different, and I baked the meatballs in a 450F oven instead of frying them. Everything came out delicious.
Tomorrow we’re going to have lobster tacos!

It was delicious. Thanks Ross!

Gorgonzola-Cranberry-Walnut Pasta
This was an adventure, to say the least. I could’ve sworn I’ve eaten this very item before, and perhaps had seen a recipe - no, many recipes, in fact - for this on the Internet. So imagine my surprise that no Google search in the world was turning up results for this! This was all super lame because I had already purchased the key ingredients that I was certain I had read in this...

This is what happens when you wake up at 6:30 am
OK, so, today! I’ve just made all these things sheerly because what the fuck do you do if you wake up before football starts? The only time I’m up at 6:30 am is if I’m coming home from something (sorry, Mom, but it’s true). So enjoy:

Butternut Squash and Cippolini Soup
This is very delicious.
Ingredients
1 butternut squash, around 1-1 1/2 lbs, peeled, seeded, and cubed (cubes don’t need to be perfect, just keep them similarly sized)

1 1/2 tbsp olive oil

1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cardamom

Martha Stewart is perfect
Listen, I’ve been desperately trying to find this recipe on her labyrinthian site to post here, to no avail, so I am going to just write it out. It is very easy and super delicious and - yes, there is an “and”! - it is good for you, so just make this sometime.

Not the part about how another one has resurrected from the dead, but the part about how the menu is completely different. What reason is there to go if they’ve changed it up so drastically?
Awesome Potato Soup is Awesome
So I decided it was time to tweak my potato-leek soup recipe a little and stumbled upon Emeril Lagasse’s recipe the other day. It is really good! Except that I changed it around quite a bit, because Emeril’s proportions and ingredients seemed strangely pussified to me: I mean, here is a man who literally screams “BAM!” every time he, like, puts a dash of salt in a dish, and...
Franny's now sends out lengthy newsletters? →
It does feature the Bklyn Larder fall menu (want to eat all of these sandwiches), and a simple recipe for tomato soup, so it’s definitely worthwhile to me. But a 300-page* PDF newsletter in my email box? Guys, what?
* Okay, it is not 300 pages but nearly.
