In the last 62 hours, I have eaten: 1. Six bags of mini pretzels on four different flights. 2. Half a Subway sandwich whilst watching my cousin prepare for her wedding. 3. My very first Quiznos sub, which I hope and pray will be my very last Quiznos sub, at the Denver airport. 4. One…

It's no secret that I have a penchant for canned baked beans. On certain days, those squidgy beans oozing all over my dinner plate are the only thing that will do. Paired with steamed broccoli, they're a soothing time machine to my youth and something like soul medicine. I've done baked beans from scratch the…

I'm done. This summer, the LA Times…

Tap tap tap. Anybody here? No? Brining turkeys and peeling chestnuts and pureeing pumpkins? Very good. So, while most of you are working on your own family's meal and while Ben's family is downstairs starting the day's work (I'm coming!), I'll just quickly tell those of you who couldn't give a hoot about Thanksgiving about…

I don't know if you noticed, but there hasn't been much balance in terms of cooking from both coasts here lately. Although it wasn't done on purpose, it's been all NY Times all the time, and my LA Times recipes have begun to nurse a distinct grudge against me in their little corner. No more!…
