Cooking for Bernie Sanders
It was the winter of 2016 in remote Wisconsin. I was new to the state and had just started cooking in an excellent little restaurant in which I spent most of my evenings alone in the kitchen.

Mrs Huston's Family Coobook
I never met my mother in law in person. We chatted briefly through Facetime a handful of times. Sadly, she passed before we were able to meet face to face. But, nonetheless, when she passed, I got her cookbook collection.

My Weird Pairing
I would say pasta is one of my favorite foods of all time. This would be easily be a comfort to choose right off the bat. Usually my list consist of they typical foods that most would pick. That is like hotdogs, cheeseburgers, and mac and cheese. Just love how Italian food has usually all these different flavors. The sauce makes the whole meal perfect and brings the dish together. The two sauces I use for the pasta is Alfredo and Marinara sauce. By far my favorite is the Marinara sauce any day of the week. My favorite Italian dish Baked Ziti. That is pretty much what I order every time going to Olive Garden. The cheese and the sauce make the whole dish so good. Of course can't help to get some wine with it too. That is what my story is going to be about. My combination of Baked Ziti with Moscato wine. Not sure if this is a weird pair, but this is mine.

Kitchen Humor
Butchers are notorious for having dark senses of humor, fish mongers seem incapable of smiling, and line cooks...are insane. Quick example?

The Perfect Pairing
The perfect pairing Cajun Jambalaya and Sweet Red Moscato Julia Child once said "People that love to eat are always the best people". I feel though that it is the people that love to eat and drink socially who are in fact the best people. It is true that a good meal can be enjoyed without the accompaniment of a beverage as well as the same concept vise versa, I feel how ever though that the perfect melding of ingredients paired with the aromatic structure of the perfect glass of wine is what elevates the experience of one or the other on its own to an entirely new level of enjoyment. A match created in heaven if you will.

The Baklava Dude
My first memory of eating Greek food was during a childhood family road trip through California, at a Daphne franchise location in San Diego. The clear blue summer skies made for ideal outdoor dining weather. There was slow, vaguely operatic vocal music playing in the background. Every bite of golden rice pilaf and zesty Greek salad felt like I had been transported across time and space to an bucholic Ancient Greek meadow. For dessert, we ordered a piece of their baklava, which was refrigerated and wrapped in a cupcake wrapper. The smell of buttery, flaky pastry dough mixed with honey syrup and chopped nuts cemented my memory of Greek food. I've been fascinated with Greek and Mediterranean food ever since.

OF FRUITCAKES, FAMILY AND FORGIVENESS
OF ALL MY FAMILY’S HOLIDAY TRADITIONS, the one I enjoy most is when my sister and I get together to bake fruitcake cookies and send them out as gifts.

Everything in the Kitchen Coleslaw
One of my favourite things is sitting down to a meal after believing for a blip of time that there was no food in the house.

Growing Pains In Our Food Industry
The sudden appearance of Covid-19 took everyone by surprise. Farmers have been especially hit hard. Their entire distribution structure has been shaken and some aren’t sure if they will be able to make it through.
