This recipe was one of the five meals my mom had in her heavy weeknight rotation to feed our family of six.
I loved the way she made three holes in the loaf and filled each one with a reservoir of spicy ketchup, so each bite had a touch of it. Little details like a pool of ketchup create a memorable dinner experience for a little kid -- never to be forgotten. I grate the onions to avoid unpleasantly large chunks in the meat loaf; use a box grater and they'll melt into the meat mixture as it cooks. Grated carrots help keep the loaf moist.

[Photograph: Quentin Bacon] We've been fans of Andrew Carmellini's Fried Chicken for quite a while, seeking it out at Locanda Verde back in '09, scouting it out at the opening of The Dutch earlier this year, and enjoying it waaaay after hours.

Like all great fried chicken recipes, Carmellini's begins with a nice long soak in buttermilk, in this case buttermilk seasoned with a sweet spicy mix of cayenne, Old Bay, honey, and Tabasco. Step two is a nine-part spice mix that is incorporated into the dredging flour and sprinkled generously over the chicken once its been fried to a deep brown crisp. For Carmellini, perfecting fried chicken involves the perfect marriage of super juicy meat and super crispy skin. Adapted from American Flavor by Andrew Carmellini.

Andrew Carmellini's World's Best Biscuits. End of Story. [Photograph: Quentin Bacon] I've never been able to make a successful batch of biscuits.

But I reconsidered this notion after coming across a recipe in Andrew Carmellini's American Flavor entitled The World's Best Biscuits—End of Story. Bread Baking: Cheddar and Scallion Biscuits. [Photograph: Donna Currie] It doesn't matter what you call them.
Scallions, spring onions, green onions—the skinny guys with green shoots start looking really good when spring is springing. Fluffy spring lettuce and asparagus are also harbingers of the season, but those onions deserve just as much glory. When my dad would plant onions in his garden, he'd thin out the plants as the season progressed to make room for the growing bulbs.
First he'd harvest some when they were young and skinny, then there would be some with small bulbs on the bottom. I love onions in just about every form, but with the skinny green onions, I'm just as anxious to make use of the green tops as I am the white part.
