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. But the most recent attempt to create a tasty start to my morning came from New Jersey. Specifically, this product. What you see here is a processed…

Bachelor Cooking: Fettuccine Alfredo
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 MoreReturning to Bachelor Laundry.
A long time ago, I joked about doing “bachelor laundry,” a concept where I would joke about jamming everything in the washer, pouring a whole bottle of whatever cleaners I deemed necessary, and running through the most clothes-damaging steps to scare someone else into saying, “Don’t do your clothes that way, here, let me do…
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…
Read MoreIt’s a toaster … and an oven??
For the life of me, I can’t find a decent toaster. In the past, I’ve purchased toasters that, for some innate reason, only have two temperature settings. I can choose from lukewarm or burnt. Nothing in between. The last toaster I owned apparently had only one setting – burnt on one side and raw on…
Read MoreHow come none of you told me about LAOGANMA 老干妈 Chili Sauce?
I personally blame the YouTube algorithm for this. Because if it hadn’t dumped this video in my feed, I wouldn’t have known about this product. Let me explain. Apparently there’s a chili sauce condiment that has suddenly become the new “IT” food. It’s manufactured by a Chinese company called LAOGANMA, and it’s not a super-hot-fire-Carolina-Reaper…
Read MoreBachelor Cooking: An Artisan Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Okay, let’s start with the ingredients. This should be simple. Two slices of bread Two slices of cheese Butter A hot pan Yesterday, my plan was to purchase all these ingredients at the newly-opened Albany Farmer’s Market. Unfortunately, the “Farmer’s Market” did not contain anything that even remotely looked like a true farmer’s market. There…
Read MoreBachelor Cooking: Bacon-Burger-Dogs (a/k/a “Shotgun Shells”)
Apparently there’s a tasty concoction among the barbecue cognoscenti that creates something called a “shotgun shell,” meat stuffed in a pasta and wrapped in bacon and grilled. Okay, you could arguably call them “cholesterol bullets,” but that’s on you. I don’t own a barbecue grill. So I have to modify this recipe for my oven.…
