III – Chicken chronicles
My first chicken dinner (This post is a contribution by the farmer man who raised the chickens I’ve been writing and talking about for the past several weeks. He was kind enough to let me post what he wrote, about the first chicken he prepared, thus testing to ensure our processing went off without a […]

II – Chicken chronicles
Bastille day poulets Pictures are still pending It was a fine and beauteous day in the ‘burgh for Bastille Day. Sunny and not too hot, with a fine breeze blowing through seated at Monsieur’s picnic table while admiring the lushness of his garden, hearing him tell about the rose expert that visited him earlier in […]

I – Chicken chronicles
Tortilla deux hommes Pictures pending Brunch the morning after a long afternoon processing chickens — which I’m tapping about and will post here, pics and all — was not without its chicken product — the egg, several of them. Killing chickens yesterday did not have an effect for our desire for them. Seemingly. Any conflict […]

A new hybrid berry? An exotic variety of pepper? […]

Sixteen noodles made a lasagna
Mumma wasn’t feeling well. Last night, she didn’t make it out to dinner with sister, Monsieur and me. She stayed home and rested and missed out on a lot of yuck yucks. She was still feeling icky this morning, so, I stayed out of the kitchen, except to chop a cup or thereabouts of parsley to mix […]

Meatballs in the kitchen with Mumma, and G(r)amma-ray, Nanny & Catherine &.. .. ..
I’m at Mumma’s at her place way Upstate on Lake Cayuga for the Easter weekend. We do not celebrate it for the religious but for the family of it. Though nowadays, we make up tradition, change, adjust and readjust it as we go along. This holiday, we’re not making up an enormous feast for the six […]

Keeping it honest
I know. It’s been a while since Daily Prandium’s been hidden from public view. After the trip to California back in May, I decided to take the pressure off of daily posting. For most of the summer, the posts went into a journal written in ink. I am yet to transcribe the scribbles to their […]

Quiet labor
I spent the weekend in town, namely because my car’s still at the body shop, and also because the new roommate moved in yesterday. So there was much to do and I’m still doing it at time of tapping this. But the piles are subsiding and I’m making progress in attacking the dust bunnies that […]

This here was transcribed and cleaned up from ink marks in my notebook.. Wow. What I am eating for my midday meal today. I must ink this. Out of pocket (mine), I maybe spent about thirty cents for my afternoon meal, mostly for the price of the condiments. The meal consists of a bowl of […]

The rules of Eating Club
The first rule of Eating Club is, you only tell trusted colleagues and food friends about Eating Club. The second rule of Eating Club is, you do not talk about Eating Club to food tools. If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out, the cena is over. Two girls and a guy to a cena […]

Good night pr’ack
The weather chased me outside today. Somehow I thought it was warmer out there than in here. Oh yeah, icebox kitchen. Several birds with that cold stone. But did I enjoy a Sunday downtown? I didn’t mind freezing with A waiting for G keeping warm in a Chinatown secrets shop. What do you do with […]
