beer and cheese
quick tips on pairing beer and cheese. beer and cheese isn’t necessarily “better” than wine and cheese, but it’s definitely a little easier to get right. i’m into the slightly stinky meadow creek grayson and the rich, clothbound beecher’s flagship reserve cheddar right now - both go great with beer!

coming soon to nyc - make your own wine!
you’ll have to check out the site to make sense of this, but what i gathered from a quick glance is that it is 1. a place to make your own wine and taste as it matures 2. an event space for parties of up to 200 and 3. if you make a barrel you get the murray’s cheese of the month package free for 4 months.

i just discovered, via commercial, that there is a SPICY baconator at wendy’s? i’d already been tempted by the original, and just when i completely forgot it existed they come out with a spicy version.
jared,
ian, please eat this and blog it for me so i don’t go further desecrate my body.

not too much excitement in food-land these days. i feel like i haven’t posted any good cookin’ in a while. also, i haven’t taken any photos while i’ve been dog-sitting this week, but i will describe a delicious steak i made the other night:
very delicious and steak-y. i rubbed it down with coarse salt, pepper, and a little crushed red pepper and let it sit around…seared it in hot oil, finished it in the oven… while it was finishing i cooked some shallots in steak juices from the searing pan with a little butter, added some thyme and sage, then a little sherry vinegar to make a sweet and savory relish-like accompaniment to the steak. magnifique.

“ Um, is this the Beth that I worked with (briefly) at Dana’s company in Winston? You like pizza from what I remember. If this isn’t you then nevermind.
a recent facebook friend request… this pretty much says it all.
