{Reminder: our Saucy Mama Giveaway is open until June 29th! Win three mustards, or just take advantage of the P&Q coupon code. Have you entered yet?} In the past 96 hours, I’ve eaten pizza. I’ve eaten pastrami. I’ve eaten burgers and fries and snappy-skinned hot dogs that, while delicious, no amount of papaya juice can make go down easily. I’ve had pork belly upon pork belly upon pork belly: on sandwiches, in soup and in a salad that showcases one of the tastiest flavor combos I’ve tried. I’ve had cookies and ice cream and caramels and, ohhhhh the coffee drinks. … Read More
Mustard-Braised Bacon Buns w/ Radish Pickles… and a GIVEAWAY!
Update: this giveaway is now closed. Thanks for participating!Greetings from the Big Apple! Can you believe this is the first time I’ve ever set foot in NYC for pleasure? The last time I was here was pleasant, to be sure, but it was definitely business related. As in, outside of the W Hotel and a few publishing houses, I didn’t see much. Thankfully, things are drastically different this time around as Chris and I have tasked ourselves with plenty of activities to make sure we get the biggest bang possible from our NYC buck. I’ll try to bring some pics … Read More
Jalapeno-Cheddar Chicken Melts

Particularly on days like this when I’m just not sure what trivial detail of my personal life I feel like rambling on about before I awkwardly somersault my way into a recipe for open-faced melty goodness.

Or I could mention that we’re going to New York this coming week for the first time both A) together and … Read More
Spicy Deviled Egg Dip (oh ok, Egg Salad)
Whadda ya know, things are moving so fast over here that I completely spaced on reaching my 100th post! You know, the one about that possibly perfect salsa? Yeah, that marked triple digits, buddy. I’m feeling rather accomplished, I have to say, and we should definitely acknowledge the props you all deserve for sticking with me. I know things can get a little willy-nilly around here sometimes like, all the time, so thanks for hanging around. Sidebar: every time I use that crossy-outty text I wonder if I’m using it right. Like, should I have crossed out “all the time” … Read More
The Best Tomato Salsa You Will Ever Eat, new P&Q schedule and lists galore!
The windows are a’open, new Daft Punk is a’playin’ and I’m a’stuffin’ my face. (Ooh, sounded a little Italiano on that last one.) In sum: it’s turning out to be quite a lovely day. I’m pretty eager to get on to what will become your go-to, year-round salsa (yep, it’s that good), but first: a few exciting announcements. Hooray! (Should we make them look like a list? I think we should. Wait, is that a bad idea because it will push the pretty Facebook and Twitter images I made too far down the page? Is that bad marketing? Probably. Oh screw … Read More
