porky dickens: a little odd
http://porkydickens.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-little-odd.html
Friday, November 28, 2014. I think it’s a little odd to me that I have never made meatloaf before. Because what is meatloaf if not an oversized meatball? And everybody knows that meatballs are my spirit food. Which if you haven’t read yet stop everything you’re doing and do so right now. I was literally reduced to tears reading it for the first time. PORKY’S ‘NUTHIN’ FANCY’ MEATLOAF. 1 ½ lb. ground beef. 1 lb ground pork. One yellow onion, grated. 189; cup caramelized onions, finely chopped (optional).

porky dickens: dances with meatballs
http://porkydickens.blogspot.com/2010/10/dances-with-meatballs.html
Thursday, October 21, 2010. You know how Native American tradition dictates that every person has a Spirit Animal? Have a Spirit Food, and mine is meatballs. My guru of meatball was switching the script up on me after years of devoted service to her original recipe. My very own brother had endorsed them as the “greatest of all time.” The greatest of all time? I revisited the recipe; I was daunted by the steps. “Are you really necessary milk soaked breadcrumbs? From Molly Wizenberg for Bon Appetit). Unbek...

porky dickens: September 2014
http://porkydickens.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2014. How to improve anything. You know on Sunday it was 83 degrees out. And I have this killer potato salad recipe that the unseasonably warm weather made me feel like I could get away with posting. Even though you and I both know that potato salad season is pretty much officially over. But today? Boneless skinless chicken breasts are like the background music of weeknight dinners. Somehow simultaneously boring and annoying. So easy to prepare that they are hard to ignore,...1 lb ...

http://porkydickens.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2015. The other day I was leaving my yoga class and I heard my instructor in her sweet Tennessee drawl saying to the receptionist “Did Jess leave yet? 8221; when the woman didn’t know who she was talking about she said “you know Very Pregnant Jess? Did she leave yet? It’s funny how much people want to talk to pregnant ladies. Strange middle aged men I don’t know asking if it’s my first child, sweet Irish grandmothers lilting in their brogue “when is the bl...8221; or “whoa....Lift co...

porky dickens: June 2015
http://porkydickens.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 15, 2015. All in the approach. I feel very fortunate that much of my knowledge in the kitchen seems to be innate. And more fortunate still that I don’t just take an interest in preparing food, but a great joy in it. Because we all gotta eat, right? 1 head Boston lettuce, leaves removed from stem and washed. 2-3 tbsp. olive oil. 190; - 1 lb. ground pork. 1 small onion, minced. 1 red pepper, seeded and minced. 8-10 white button mushrooms, cleaned and diced. 3 scallions, chopped.
