Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes “Scalloped” is an attractive word, isn’t it? When I hear it I think of several things: first, there’s scallops, as in the seafood—totally delicious. Then there’s the scalloped shape that can live on the edge of a pair of shorts or on the collar of a woman’s blouse—always pretty and dainty. The first players up are: a few Russet potatoes (I’m sure other varieties will work equally as well), Parmigiano-Reggiano and butter. Start by scrubbing your potatoes good and clean. Then, using a sharp knife, make slices across the potato, being sure to stop before you reach its bottom. Cut up your butter. Then do the same with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Next, open the potatoes’ crevices and shove the parmesan and butter, alternating between the two. After they’re stuffed with butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano, you want to bake them at 400ºF for about 45 minutes to an hour. When they’re done baking, you’re still a few minutes away from cheesy gloriousness! They’ll come out looking all cheesy and inviting.

Sex and the City and Tortilla Pie (with easy-poached eggs!) « My Husband Hates Veggies Back in my single days, I was a Manhattan gal. Oh, those wild and carefree days of living in my deluxe high-rise apartment! Enjoying my Cosmos and wearing my Manolo Blahniks and waltzing past velvet ropes into Bungalow 8…. No. Not really. I was always more of a beer at the dive bar over a game of pool kind of girl, and I lived in a walk up railroad style apartment that totaled about 450 square feet. Living in Hell’s Kitchen, there was no shortage of amazing places to grab a bite to eat, and I was fortunate enough to live right near a little gem of a place called The Little Pie Company. It wasn’t until I watched Dave Lieberman creating his version of a breakfast enchilada casserole that I remembered Tortilla Pie. Kitty’s Tortilla Pie makes 6 servings Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350F. Step 2: Add 1 chipotle pepper for mild, 2 for medium and 3 for hot. Step 3: Add the tomatoes to the pan, bring to a boil, and add the black beans. Step 5: You are now ready to begin assembling your pie.

This month theme is weaving a tabloid story around egg recipes. Celebrity gossip, na… but politics…oh boy, they are like hot popcorn to me. I can’t get enough of that gossip and can spend hours and hours reading all sorts of political tedious minutia. They fascinate me, its like following street theater, but with real people (?) who got the power to make decisions that would affect us all. Well, this article is written in a political tabloid (=mainstream) story style. A one powerful chicken egg whose campaign slogan is ‘incredible edible egg’ coming out of a relaxing sauna vacation. Journalists taking pictures and throwing out questions: Sir, Mr. But sir, people are saying edible is alright but the incredible part, that is a tad over hyped? (The Egg is a puppet of course. Is it safe to eat you regularly? Puffy P.
