Epic Failure: Potato Rolls

Epic Failure: Potato Rolls

Who screws up potato bread? I mean, the whole idea behind adding potato (baked, mashed, boiled, flakes, flour) is to make bread basically fool-proof. It tenderizes the dough so that nearly anything you throw at it doesn't really matter. Potato bread is easy. And I was pulling the recipe from Baking with Julia, my always present stand-in when I don't have enough time to do anything too complicated.


Tuna Burgers and Duck-Fat Fried Potatoes

Tuna Burgers

Earlier this year we bought a whole Albacore tuna, and aside from simple grilling we haven't done anything crazy with it. But recently Todd was flipping through our copy of Michel Richard's Happy in the Kitchen when he found a tuna burger that he couldn't resist. Marinated in sesame and soy, mixed with basil and served with arugula splashed in shiso vinegar, I'm declaring this our go-to fish burger. The meat was tender, flavorful, had no hint of fishiness to it - and was lovely with a ginger sesame mayo.

Homemade Spinach Gnocchi in Sage Brown Butter Sauce

A few months back, both Gourmet (RIP) and Saveur featured simple homemade gnocchi recipes - and I got the bug to try this for dinner one night. We're big fans of making our own pasta, probably because kneading the dough is so therapeutic. But gnocchi is a little different - it's not like I can run it through a pasta machine or anything. Pillowy soft requires a different touch.

BBQ Goat Ribs

It's over 80 outside. To me, this means two things: cold salads and cooking on the grill. We did both today, making a German-style potato salad from our little garden spuds and throwing a large rack of goat ribs on to cook.
