About

Let me just start by saying I can’t believe this domain name wasn’t taken.

More to the point, this website is a collection of recipes (get it? some recipies) that I have discovered, developed, altered, co-opted, or otherwise can’t find anywhere else and want to be able to make again. I can’t promise you’ll like all of these concoctions, but I can promise that I do, otherwise I wouldn’t post them. No comments on here for now, but if you have any thoughts please do feel free to reach out via Twitter, email, or other social media (you can find me, I’m around).

A bit about myself: in addition to recipes, I write code and poetry (I’ll let you guess which one pays the bills). I’m a fan of New York City, Tokyo, Julio Cortázar, Charisma.com, French onion dip, Jean-Luc Godard, GNU/Linux, open source software, and Frank O’Hara, amongst other things. I am the polar opposite of a picky eater, nor am I a culinary classist—foie gras is delicious but so is Land O’Lakes American cheese. Go right ahead and @ me.

Some of my favorite foods include eggplant parmesan, New York style pizza, grilled cheese, smashed burgers, okonomiyaki, lentil soup, Crunchy Cheez Doodles, hot wings, breakfast sandwiches, bagels and cream cheese, refried beans, braised short ribs, a nice beer, matzo brei, spaghetti (with red sauce or even just olive oil), and Italian subs.
