The title says it all. This is what a single man cooks and eats. And he shares his recipes.
Bachelor Cooking: Popcorn
Who doesn’t enjoy a fresh batch of popcorn? I know I do. But making popcorn has its quirks. You can get one of those hot air poppers to make popcorn. Or you could get some bags of microwaveable popcorn. Heck, I think there’s still some old Jiffy-Pop popcorn mixes that you can heat up on…

I have this really bad feeling that it’s going to get worse before we even THINK it will get better. And in these times of stress and strife, you and I have to work within what we can. And unfortunately, that means higher prices and fewer options. And yeah, we can blame the Orange Goblin…
Read MoreWould I have the cojones to eat green crab?
There are some foods – both in the real world and in fiction – that were designed to be eaten. Eaten as often as possible. In the Babylon 5 TV show, it was spoo. In the Lil’ Abner comics the schmoo was the delicacy of choice. Heck, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy even had…
Read MoreYou need to notch it before you fry it.
What’s a good breakfast meat for your egg-and-cheese sandwich? Well, in the past, I’ve fried up tasty bacon, I’ve fried up single-packet Spam, I’ve even tested out scrapple.

At some point in life, I have to get away from opening a box of pre-made pasta, throwing it in boiling water, and hoping I don’t undercook or overcook it. Today is not that day. But if I do have to open a box of pre-made pasta and throw it in boiling water, I can…

Read MoreA cast iron pan designed just for breakfast sausage? The devil you say!
A few weeks ago, when I ordered some boutique food online (by “boutique” I mean some Pennsylvania Dutch meats and cheeses), I needed to purchase one more item for free shipping. Well, I already ordered some of the company’s breakfast sausages, and there was an offer for what looked like a weirdly-shaped cast iron pan.…

I recently won a cast iron Dutch oven at the local casino – well, “won” in that I had to play to earn 75 casino points, which qualified me to RECEIVE the Dutch oven (oh, and I won $400 on one of the slot machines, so there’s that). So I tried to make something with…

Okay … it sounds like I just mashed up two Central New York regional delicacies. And yeah … I kinda did. Because I had a bottle of this stuff … And I had a jar of this stuff. So I did the whole “you got chocolate in my peanut butter, well you got peanut butter…
