Photo incoming, as soon as I remember to take a picture before eating it. Still tinkering with this but I am very very happy with how it comes out. It really scratches that mall chinese food itch, except it tastes better. Couple of notes: I used fresh squeezed orange juice just for funsies, you could… Continue reading Orange Chicken! Although I made it with tofu. But it’s still good.

Also, I feel like the recipe is deceptively simple. You spend most of the time cooking the mushrooms down. You… Continue reading Creamy Mushroom Pasta with Toasted Pecans
The Best God Damn Meatballs I’ve ever made
Takes some specialized equipment. Also, this makes a lot, this is what I use for dinner parties and it feeds about a dozen. So: you mix up the meatballs, smoke them for a while for flavor, bake them in the oven at high heat to get some browning on the outside, and then let them… Continue reading The Best God Damn Meatballs I’ve ever made
