How To Make Ceviche:
Red Snapper Ceviche with Red Onion and Jalapeno

I go back and forth about how much to stress ease in the kitchen.  This is so easy!  This is so fast!  You'll never believe it! No excuse not to cook it yourself it's so fast and easy! And the exact opposite: Forget about ease, forget about how long it takes, that shouldn't be the point! The point is living well, working well, supporting, encouraging and lifting up your family and friends. One of the main daily ways we fulfill all of these things is by cooking and eating well.  Why don't more people understand this? It's so important, we shouldn't care how long cooking takes or how difficult or easy it is. We should make the time.  (The truth is, the longer we spend ...

“More Bacon, fewer Bacos”

Slate weighs in on America's misguided war on fat. I ranted about this two years ago. Bottom line: stay away from the processed crap. That's what making us fat and sick: Snackwells and Granola Bars, not bacon and eggs.

Best Cooking Show Ever?

Lawrence Downes, an NYTimes editorial writer, says this one is. I'm not sure what the point of this piece is, but it's a fascinating choice and I'm glad to learn about the show! As one of the hosts says, "You're only as good as your baking powder."  Hmm...  Anyway, I'd vote for their return.

We'd risen early, left gloomy Cleveland Heights in time to drop the dog off at Metrobarks, arrived at PBI, rented a stupid little Chevy that caused nothing but arguments until it became funny, and arrived at Mom's by lunchtime.  She had glasses of cold white wine and the above meal waiting for us.

From the Archives:
It’s a Wonderful Life

This was my very first rant, originally published 7/6/06 here on megnut.com (Meg is back to blogging if you didn't know, welcome back, Meg!).  I sat down at my desk having read the Bruni agony that warm summer morning and it just came out. Has anything changed...?

This continual talk about the ethics of eating creatures that were once living is starting to get on my nerves. It’s not enough that those knuckleheads in Chicago and those sensitivos in California want to waste their time on the foie issue and the Whole Foods people figured out a cool marketing tool in playing to our arrogant anthropomorphist inclinations—giving lobsters spa treatment so we feel better about driving a knife through their skull.
