No, it's not Thanksgiving silly. It's April. Also known as turkey hunting season in certain paradigms.My very first hunt was for turkey. It was deep in the Arkansas delta, on a three-thousand acre hunting preserve that runs five miles up the length of the great Mississippi. It was Spring, early on a Saturday morning after…

Because she loves you, Grandma Pellegrini made you a Valentines soup. She even put hearts in it. It's a work of art. And because he loves you, Gordon snapped some photos of it. And because I love you, well... I'm just writing to tell you about it. I can't take any credit. I can just…

Black-eyed peas are one of those things I only think about on December 31st when I superstitiously rush around looking for them. You see, it was ingrained in me from the time I was a small plump infant, that this is the thing you're supposed to eat on New Year's Day for good luck. I've…

I think of any stock as liquid gold... the sure path to tastier food. And as you know by now, I like to use as many parts of the animal that I eat, as I possibly can. So this Thanksgiving, my turkey carcas became a lovely stock, that made the house smell like Thanksgiving all…

I had a pork chop yesterday. I was dining alone, and I ceremoniously made myself a proper meal. I took a visit to the butcher who had all sorts of glossy selections piled high in the coolers, and I settled on a pork chop, bone-in. It was a good choice because it was well aged, and came from…
