I can't believe I haven't written this down anywhere for anyone. All I do is eat, make, sleep, never drink but maybe one day, pasta. So here's the dough. I'll add some notes at the bottom for some adjustments. These photos are snagged from my instagram over the past three years, not the best quality…

Being from Chicago I've made my fair share of deep dish at home but I truly believe its something better left up to…

7 months later... Pumpkin Spice Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon one teaspoon of ground ginger one teaspoon of ground cloves half teaspoon of ground nutmeg Mix in a bowl and put to the side. You can also buy this at any store, I didn't want to because I don't have much use for it.…

“It’s not even food. It’s about as edible as Astroglide and made from the same stuff,” Bourdain declared. [On truffle oil] Stop putting that stuff on mac and cheese. It's gross.
I tried to get into my house the other day, but I couldn’t. Wanna know why?
Because I had gnocchi!
