Bachelor Cooking: Australian Damper
Here’s what happens when you mishear things. During the day, while I’m working, I listen to an Australian oldies radio station, Gold MX in Albany, W.A.

So here’s the deal. When Christmas comes, I need to bring gift-wrapped packages to that special someone. But, as you know, I am a bachelor. And bachelors do, well, let’s say, bachelor things.

Background. I was a product of a mixture of two different religious faiths. My mother’s side of the family were staunch Roman Catholics; my father’s side of the family were Conservative Jews.

Read MoreBachelor Cooking: Grape Nuts Ice Cream
This is a popular New England comfort food. And when I was recovering from recent ankle surgery, I asked my Facebook friends if anyone could bring me some ice cream and a box of Grape Nuts cereal. Sure enough, someone came through. And if you’re feeling that urge for a crunchy-yet-sweet snack, then I recommend…
Read MoreBachelor Cooking: Steak and Baked Potatoes (with no microwave)
Bachelor cooking has entered a new phase. After ten years of using a second-hand low-power microwave that someone gifted me after my divorce (probably thought I’d use that thing instead of using a stove or an oven), I tossed the old microwave away. Low-powered microwaves are a blemish on society – you have to figure…

So I was looking around the interwebs for recipes that would allow me to use my brand-new 60+ year old Popeil Veg-O-Matic food slicer … and I came across this site.
