Hey lads and lasses, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hope everyone’s donning their lucky green skivvies. In honor of this most verdant of holidays, I thought I’d send you over to So…Let’s Hang Out (SLHO), where I’m guest posting about Thai-Style Roasted Cauli Steaks (gluten-free w/ vegan option). See that pretty sauce on top? Totally festive. So maybe it’s Thai, and St. Patrick’s Day is more commonly associated with Irish traditions. But how can you deny that brilliant green, sweet-savory-salty-tart topping of bright herbs, lime juice, savory Thai fish sauce (don’t be scurred!), jalapeenurs and crushed peanuts? You cannot. Since … Read More
Hitting the road & Hot Beef Sundaes (and a Full Circle guest post!)
(Thanks for the rad image, Etsy.) Just a quickie today as I’m literally running out the door, Mom in tow, and headed for the great state of Tennessee, where we’re kicking off our Birthday Road Trip of Southern Eats with three days in Music City. Can you say Grand Ole Opry? Of course you can. I never really understood that phrase. For the next 10 days, we’ll be eating our way from Nashville to Savannah, with stops in Chattanooga, Asheville, Charlotte and Charleston — plus we’re doing a handful of other fun day trips along the way. I’m expecting to … Read More
Foodie Father’s Day Gift Guide (a Full Circle post) – & it’s my berfday!
Me, 28 years ago. Does my mom make one badass strawberry shortcake or what? Today’s my birthday, and it’s kind of a biggie, so I’m going to step out of the kitchen and instead park myself in front of a Weeds marathon and a bowl of noodles and compulsively compile my belly list for the NYC birthday trip that is now not only on my doorstep but toeing the threshold in a rather threatening manner that has me wondering if I should be worried about its sanguineous diet. Don’t let me mislead you; I’m pretty much falling-out-of-my-chair-excited to go, but … Read More
Oscar Night Special – Best Ensemble: Show-stopping Popcorn (Guest Post!)
Hi folks! So I originally intended to post that lovely and now heavily-(over)hyped Coconut-Pecan Brussels Sprout Salad some time this weekend, and then somehow I convinced my equally foodified cousin, Joel, to draft a guest post in honor of tomorrow’s Oscar night, and BAM! He delivered in record time. See, for Christmas, in addition to treating me to the Leg of Beast Dinner, Joel gifted me with a certificate for 4 Free Guest Posts on the Pig & Quill. Clever, generous and ohsohandy, right? So while I’m out here in the great Midwest again (confusingly, this will be explained in … Read More
Shredded Brussie Salad with Lemon Meyer Vinaigrette (and a Full Circle guest post)
Hi guys! Posting a bit quickly today as I am on the road in Ontario, CA, traveling for business. Haven’t spent much time exploring these parts, but I do recall the last time I was here it was to accompany Chris to his mechanical engineering exam. I spent more than seven hours wandering the expanses of Ontario Mills outlet mall alone. (All things considered, it could have been a lot worse. Didn’t lead to nearly the number of pity purchases that solo shopping usually facilitates.) Get this, though. That was a whopping eeeiiiiggght e-i-g-h-t years ago. Sheebus, time flies. So … Read More
