Whatever happened to olive loaf?
Does olive loaf still exist? I will say yes based on my experience at BJ’s, my local big box store which is a pale simulacrum of Costco. I had a $2 off coupon on their house brand and went for … Continue reading
Recipe: Chicago-Style Beef for sandwiches
Chicago-style beef for sandwiches is a big winner: rich, beefy, juicy and fall-apart tender. Drench it in jus, add some of our Chicago-style giardiniera and maybe a bit of provolone, and you’ve got just about the perfect sandwich. Ingredients: 3 … Continue reading

Recipe: Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp
Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp comes from the excellent onolicious blog, which we’ve visited in the past. Kathy points out this is actually “local” fusion food rather than a traditional Hawaiian dish, but she uses that name because it’s what people are … Continue reading
Recipe: Jacques Pepin Vinaigrette
Jacques Pepin Vinaigrette came from his very entertaining Facebook channel. Frustratingly, there’s no way to locate specific recipes but if you scroll through the feed you’ll find some gems, like this old episode of Jacques and Julia Child making hamburgers. … Continue reading

Lamb Curry (Rogan Josh) comes from the generally excellent Indian Instant Pot Cookbook and has a pleasing combination of warm spices. However, I very nearly burned it because the recipe does not have enough liquid to generate pressure. (Most IP … Continue reading
