You can absolutely air fry! One of the most maddening thing about those appliances is the total lack of standardization. Just keep an eye on it, and take notes on the timing so you can remember the next time.  Read more

Invite some people over for movie night! It’s a good reason to make this.  Read more

I probably should. You’ll be happy to know that I didn’t eat this whole cake myself, and sent it with my kids to a sleepover party so it could be other parents’ problem.  Read more

Red clam chowder isn’t actually from Manhattanit’s from Rhode Island!  Read more

I am definitely going to try this once the 12 raspberries on my raspberry bush are done growing! Read more

Just like movie stars, sexy lobsters like banging other sexy lobsters. Once lobsters get too sexy, maybe we’ll stop eating them? Read more

I’ve really only done this with the remnants of any wine I’ve used for cooking, since I don’t drink alcohol and have no need for it once I’ve used only a cup or two. This would be a fun at-home cooking experiment to do! Read more
