If you live in the U.S. (and haven’t been living under a rock), you probably know that we’re having a bit of an egg problem here these days.  Over the last few weeks over half a billion (WITH A B!) eggs have been recalled from stores all over the nation. As tends to be the [...]

When I started Macheesmo almost two years ago, I really liked cooking but I was far from good at it.  I worried about every recipe and every technique.  I was afraid that if I bombed a dish my friends and family would disown me and my cat would pee on my pillow. Of course, now [...]

I was originally writing this post as a Guess the Food post, but it was just so obvious that both of these things were soups that I decided to just write a more general post about canned soups. Canned soups are interesting because I think a huge number of people consider them healthy.  I know [...]

So [...]

I obviously really enjoy cooking and writing recipes.  But some of the most challenging (and sometimes the most rewarding) posts that I write are actually the non-recipe posts that I call “Musings.”  These are a lot harder for me and really push my writing which I think is a good thing.  I try to write [...]

I get a lot of really interesting emails from readers.  Most of them are recipe-related but every once in a while someone will send me an article or story related to food politics, labeling, or other issues.  I always check these out and sometimes link to them in my Friday’s Around The Internet Kitchen posts, [...]

I was very tempted to start this post by reciting the old adage that involves apples and days and keeping the doctor away (I basically just did), but I’ve never really liked that saying. For some reason that saying always reminds me of how garlic keeps vampires away.  I can just imagine dozens of school [...]
