I eat a lot of pizza

I am privy to a large sample size

With the current E. Coli outbreak, the CDC is suggesting that all romaine lettuce be avoided because many manufacturers/sellers don’t display country of origin on or near their product. Think about that the next time you buy anything at a supermarket.

Because it’s a bulbous plant, pesticide use will have an especially…

In the original container, in the crisper, I’ve pulled 3 weeks without a problem—packaging recommends 1 week. I’m trying one of those “onion keepers” currently, just to see what happens.

Airflow is key with alliums though. I bought a bulb last year that was partially chilled/frozen and most of the cloves looked like…

I’ve been buying pre-peeled, refrigerated stuff for the last 6? months or so. My parents live close by, and since I won’t use the entire container, I split it with them.

I’ve noticed no difference in flavor (coming from someone who grows his own), and it saves me a TON of time in recipes where I need 10+ cloves (which…

THANKS A FUCKING LOT CLAIRE

FUCK TOWN-SPA. The physical embodiment of townie pizza, there are few things worse on this Earth done in the name of consumable energy. They charged me for dipping sauce for my niece’s chicken tenders. SHE IS FIVE. I’ve had a better experience with the frozen Emma’s for $3.99 at Market Basket and whatever I can grab…

One of my favorite things about living in AZ in the 90s was going to the water store, where you could “fill your own” and pay by the container size. It was cheaper to do this than to buy bottled, or filter from your sink.

What a world.

For me, it’s just another accomplishment in the kitchen. Being able to bake your own damn staff of life is something to be proud of, even if it’s the simplest thing you can imagine. If people are coming over, I’ll make a loaf or two of Lahey’s no-knead (slice thick and broil it, serve alongside some fancy mussels),…

Roy’s breakfast subs have saved me from more weekday hangovers than I can remember. Their meatballs are amazing, but they aren’t the one.

Trust me, I’m so, so close on this. It’s a 1:1 beef:pork ratio with 90/10 ground beef and lean pork — Big Y’s $5.99 grind has been the best I’ve found so far. Nigella’s recipe is…

Miss me with that extra work. I’m gonna torch it.

Well, I guess *total garbage* would be Emma’s in Norton and ____ House of Pizza, then the local joints, then there’s the *good* local joint. Bianco’s in Walpole is *good*, but it’s not a life-changing pizza. It’s *good* for the area. It’s *bad* on a national scale.

I’ll be there Friday after work picking up my usual…

With the majority of them founded in the 17th and 18th centuries, it should come as little surprise.

One of the few states I haven’t been to! I’ve got a friend at work who goes back on the regular, I’ll bug her tomorrow about where to venture. :)

Because whoever designed my apartment put the thermostat around the corner from the oven, and I *really* don’t want to pay the electric bill for an hour+ 500 degree oven to run. The grill offers more direct heat with the grates in addition to the radiant heat.

It’s just easier to swap tanks out every 2 weeks for $15.

OH MAN, DOYLE’S. They used to have a decent Eggs Benny. It’s been a long time.

Spencer is a place that exists and I’m usually around for the fair. I might be confusing it with Sterling, but.. I doubt there is much difference. I just fucking love fair season.

I’m actually a horrible person to ask about this! However, a good friend of mine, Marnely Murray (@marnely_murray if you’re on Twitter) is a much more active lass around the Vineyard and city, and exactly the person for this kind of thing. Her guide to eating in Boston is on point.

To name a few towns and cities:

Dedham, Norwood, Westwood, Walpole, Norfolk, Wrentham, Mansfield, The Attleboros, Somerville, Peabody, Worcester, Auburn, Spencer, Boston proper, Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, West Roxbury, Roslindale, Newton, Needham, Wellesley, Readville, Medfield, Millis, Bellingham, Franklin,…

Boston pizza is absolute fucking garbage. I’ve lived in the ‘burbs for almost 20 years and every small town joint to the stuff in the city is shit compared to the stuff I had while living in Arizona in the 1990s. Seriously. Sammy B’s in Fountain Hills (RIP, closed since 2006) or Molinari’s on Bell Road next to the…
