I’m a proud coffee nerd, even considering starting to roast my own. The Buffalo News (perennially late to everything in a perennially late to everything city!) has a good article today about local coffee nerds… I grab my beans over at Premier Gourmet currently and plan to even after their planned move (over to Amherst).

Challah!
December 18th, 2011 · No Comments · Food
I think this is one of the best proofings I’ve had with Challah to date. I cheat a little, as my new awesome stove has a ‘proof’ button that keeps the rising dough at a constant, slightly elevated temperature. If only the oven had a ‘steam’ cycle, but alas I’ll have to stick with the [...]

Video about Tartine Bread – awe inspriing
December 17th, 2011 · No Comments · Food
While spending my Saturday at home, studying for an impending Microsoft Exam (LOONG story but let’s just say I HAVE to pass the 70-640 next Wednesday), cursing at VirtualBox, making an impromptu trip to Premier Gourmet, and baking some Challah, I’ve stumbled upon this great little video about Tartine Bakery and the bread that comes [...]

Interesting NY Times Article On Cheese
October 5th, 2011 · No Comments · Food, Local
Read this interesting article today on a small controversy revolving around the aging of cheese. Reminds me that I want to start making it again at home. Living in Buffalo, it’s actually really hard (so far impossible!) to find locally made fresh mozzarella (in water). Over in Boston, we were able to pick up any [...]

Pic, and site of the day.

This site has just held my attention a ton lately: http://www.good.is/. It’s a great way to see how the web is finally coming into its own, how people are adapting to the multimedia capabilities and inherently just adding things other than disjointed pictures, sounds, an otherwise print-centric ideas and throw them onto a website. Plus, [...]
DoughPress – Friday night pizza making at home.
March 12th, 2011 · No Comments · Food
Last night’s pizzas ended up pretty awesome. I cheated on the dough and just bought some pre-made stuff from Wegman’s, which is actually really good. If you don’t know of the place, Wegmans is a grocery store located mostly in Western New York (Buffalo area) that offers a bit more variety and a different [...]
Homemade pasta – not so easy!
February 20th, 2011 · No Comments · Food
I had an impulse a couple of weeks ago to attempt homemade pasta (probably due to an episode of Good Eats). I did an attempt by hand and it came out rubbery and less-than-impressive. It was cool to realize just how easy it can be, if done right. Flour, eggs, water, salt. Currently saving up [...]

5 foods it’s cheaper to grow – MSN Money
August 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Food, money
Great article. Growing your own food is great, it’s sustainable (though I think people throw this word around too much), and it’s a fun hobby. But from a purely financial viewpoint, it often costs more to grow things yourself than it does to just buy them at the store. Other reasons aside, people don’t always [...]
