The title says it all. This is what a single man cooks and eats. And he shares his recipes.
New Mexico chile meets New York cheese.
While wandering through the New York State Fair’s dairy building, I happened upon a display of purchasable cheese snacks from Yancey’s Fancy, an artisan cheese manufacturer from New York’s Finger Lakes region. I’ve snacked on Yancey’s Fancy cheese curds before, mostly when I need to get a fuel-and-food break on the Northway. Well, they didn’t…
Read MoreDo I want to try Cincinnati Skyline Chili?
I’ve been known to add new recipes in my dining experience. When I go on a trip and eat at a local restaurant, I tell the server, “Please recommend your local dish. I didn’t come all the way from Albany to not at least try something from here.” Which is why, although I don’t know…
Read More“Your cutlery, sir, it will KEAL.”
A couple of years ago, someone introduced me to the competition series Forged in Fire, where bladesmiths and other metal workers fashion knives and weaponry, with the winning competitor receiving $10,000 for his/her efforts. I have to admit, the show is quite fun to watch, especially when the show’s judges take the contestants’ newly-finished weapons…

Yeah, yeah, I get it. Chuck lives alone, he cooks for himself, he could just order McDonald’s all week and that’s all he deserves. I’ve dealt with that in my life. And yeah, I do enjoy a tasty Quarter Pounder now and again. But in this case, I wanted to try my luck at creating…

This recipe took me a while to set up, so bear with me. Last year, after the CEO of Goya Foods essentially bent the knee and kissed the ring of Donald Trump, House Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) posted homemade recipes for the spice adobo from her Twitter followers. Well, instead of finding all the dry…

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. It’s mostly music with a few regional commercials. One of the commercials is for a scenic boat tour along the Kalgan River on the riverboat Kalgan Queen. Hey, if…
Read MoreBachelor Gift Wrapping
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. And that includes the fine art of wrapping Christmas presents. See, in the past, my tactic for wrapping gifts was this. Take…
Read MoreBachelor Cooking: Potato and Carrot Latkes
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. In other words, I’m a mutt. That being said, there are plenty of wonderful meals that little old me can cook for myself…
Read MoreBachelor Cooking: Shake ‘n Bake Pickled Chicken
So I heard this rumor. Not that I believe in rumors, but you never know. Supposedly, the recipe for the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich involves marinating the chicken in pickle juice. Well, not “marinating,” per se, but brining it. Letting the chicken soak in pickle juice for up to 24 hours. Well, let’s see. What if…
