A Ton of Fun
So, I’m at the local grocery store in a reasonably busy line. Karen’s Line. She’s been a clerk there for many years and is nice to me. (At least to my face – my picture is probably on a dart board in the employees lounge – well deserved, I might add.) I’m joking with this…

LarryLand Cheese-Crusted Chicken
I had some spare chicken. And I had some Cheddar Cheese. So I said to myself – it is time to “Get the Frico Outta Here!” With a non-stick pan and about 10 minutes, this is what I came up with.

Larry Hits the Lotto
Something you should know about me: If you ask me a reasonable question, do not expect a reasonable answer. I simply CANNOT be trusted. For example – Whenever I go to a restaurant a polite, well-intentioned server typically asks this question: “Can I bring you anything else?” Almost always, I say “Money”. This is how…

LarryLand Eggplant Parm
Here’s the thing about an eggplant parm. Eggplant gets very soggy very quickly. And most of the dishes I’ve had have the breadcrumbs fried but, again, that soggy thing makes them a bit gummy. So, I changed it up a bit – I fry the eggplant and top the dish with the breadcrumbs.

LarryLand All-Purpose Marinara
I’ve been making this for a VERY long time. Actually, I came up with this when my daughter was in 7th grade. They had a very nice teacher who had a kitchen class, and for a few years I would come in and do a demonstration (therefore, I was the Kitchen Class Clown). The thing…

Mollie Hersh’s Mandel Bread
Grandma taught me to bake these cookies in her 1 bedroom apartment in West Hollywood, about the time I was a college freshman. They became a staple around my apartment, and when I’d go camping in my car to ski a batch of these would be my breakfast, lunch, dinner and occasional snack (the most…

It’s Gonna be Epic
So I’m shopping at the local supermarket. For every purchase, they have me enter my phone number and in return I get a small break on gas (Umm… don’t misinterpret that one). I know that the reason that they do this is because they collect information on our shopping habits and predict what we’re doing…

A Journalist Gets It Write
This is the first in a series of recipes. About 2 weeks ago, our daughter got an actual, real job offer. Which means one thing – time to panic. Priority #1: Time to have the family over. The rest can wait.

Roasted Potatoes for a Crowd
Mr. Potato Head hates me. Fair enough, I cook enough of these to deserve that fate. Still, potatoes rank only second to Guacamole in terms of food that never lasts at a party. So, here is my go-to recipe.
