For whatever reason, we’re on a cabbage kick in the BWD household. It’s showing up in noodle dishes, on Dominican street food hamburgers, alongside German food, etc. Strangely enough, it’s not just my fault.

Why My German Friend Has Never Had a Runza

Lenten Meals – Pan Fried Monkfish in Brown Butter
Monkfish First, let’s clear up the confusion. That’s not a monkfish. That’s stained glass that a monk might see. I have chosen to spare you because monkfish are super ugly looking. Even when they’re broken down. Fortunately, they have a taste like shrimp-mixed-with-lobster with a meaty texture that I think is perfect for people who […]
Lenten Meals – Tuna Steak Salad with Banana Balsamic Vinaigrette
Tuna Salad and Banana Balsamic Vinaigrette There is a tuna salad at Houlihan’s that combines tuna, wasabi and a banana vinaigrette that is one of my favorite salads in the world. It’s also probably my favorite salad that is actually healthy. That salad is the perfect mixture of sweet banana and spicy wasabi and savory […]
