It is National Pi Day, not to be confused with National Pie Day which is January 23 (easy as 1-2-3 = easy as pie). But for #PiDay, it is not pie in the (blue)sky to say--give peach a chance. #justahomecook #Bakingsky #Piesky
I think for #ValentinesDay, I will make "bone in hole." It is, after all, a sexy and romantic preparation. #justahomecook #Cookingsky
Food & Wine (@foodandwine), you had me at chocolate and pistachio. Good use of the Bronte pistachio butter I brought back from Sicily.
And folks, the offset spatula is your friend. #justahomecook #Bakingsky #Cookingsky
I had duck legs in the freezer (and potatoes, carrots and fresh peas in the fridge) in hopes of making duck confit but it's kind of a pain in the ass so I found an easy and delicious recipe thanks to @nigella.bsky.social. W a Bechtold Cinsault from Turley. #justahomecook #Cookingsky #Winesky
An American friend after visiting family in Albania gave this to me. Olive oil made from olives native to his area, grown and pressed by his family, that somehow made its way to this country. How I don't know. Touched by his effort and sharing. #justahomecook #Cookingsky #Foodsky
Now that its colder, I thought I'd look for the last of the stringbeans in my garden. Glad I was wearing a hat. As one friend said, with the size hat you need to wear, that's a lot of stringbeans! And there may be yet another picking pass. #homegardener #justahomecook #Gardensky #Cookingsky
Someone recently called me the Fruit Whisperer because of my ability to seemingly always pick out the best. #justahomecook #jerseyfresh #Foodsky #Cookingsky #Fruitsky
Just one of two bowls from tonight's garden haul. 100 or so string beans under that stuff. #justahomecook #homegardener #Foodsky #Gardensky #Cookingsky #stillsummer
My perennial summer's bounty dish thanks to my garden and local farmers. Tomatoes, corn, zucchini, dill, bread crumbs, grated cheese, olive oil. Bake. Is it pie? Casserole? Who cares...its good. #justahomecook #homegardener #jerseytomatoes #jerseycorn #Foodsky #Cookingsky #Gardensky
I think the NY Times is mining my social media again. Today they published a recipe for gelo di anguria, or melone, or Sicilian #watermelon pudding. I made it and posted about it a few weeks ago for #Ferragosto. Here it is again. Mine vs. theirs. #Foodsky #Cookingsky #justahomecook
Do you like good sandy, buttery shortbread? Then you'd like my pistachio shortbread with semolina flour. #justahomecook #homebaker #shortbread #pistachio #Bakingsky #Cookingsky
Tomato sauce doesn't have to be cooked. Tomatoes, arugula, capers, fennel, olive oil, lemon juice. Let it sit. #justahomecook #homegardener #rawsauce #Cookingsky #Foodsky #Gardensky
My hands smell like summer. They taste like summer, too. #justahomecook #homegardener #summer #Gardensky #Cookingsky
As part of my #Ferragosto feast, and summer love for local #watermelon, I adapted this watermelon #gazpacho recipe from Food and Wine magazine. #justahomecook #homegardener #foodandwine #JerseyFresh #Winesky #Foodsky #Cookingsky
My #Ferragosto inspired Geli di Anguria, my take on the traditional Sicilian watermelon pudding. I flavored mine w rose water, cinnamon and orange liqueur, and topped w pistachios and shaved dark chocolate w orange peel. #justahomecook #watermelon #gelidianguria #Cookingsky #Foodsky
Pureed a lot of #watermelon for my ode to #Ferragosto dinner courses tonight: watermelon gazpacho and geli di anguria. #justahomecook #homegardener #Foodsky #Cookingsky #Gardensky
Bruschetta w local bread, ricotta and peaches and my tomatoes and basil. The beauty of summer's bounty. #jerseytomatoes #jerseypeaches #justahomecook #Gardensky #Foodsky #Cookingsky
First time I ever had tajin some years ago, a Mexican chef I knew pushed a plate of cantaloupe sprinkled with it across the table to me during a meeting, saying nothing to his gringo friend. I've used it this way ever since. #tajin #justahomecook #Foodsky #Cookingsky #Spicesky #Fruitsky
Its a good evening for caponata. Or my take on it. A mix of vegetables from my garden and local farms. Hmm...what will I use it with? #caponata #norecipes #justahomecook #homegardener #jerseyfresh #Gardensky #Foodsky #Cookingsky
Pickled purslane, 'foraged' from weeding the garden, with fennel, black and green peppercorns, mustard seeds and coriander seeds. #justahomecook #Gardensky #Cookingsky #Kitchensky #pickling #purslane

Foraged/harvested/weeded a bowl of purslane from my vegetable garden. It grows back every summer. I'll make a salad, pickle some, share some with a friend. #homegardener #justahomecook #Gardensky #Cookingsky #Foodsky
I like growing Jimmy Nardellos. I like eating Jimmy Nardellos. I like saying Jimmy Nardellos. #homegardener #justahomecook #Gardensky #Cookingsky #Foodsky
The garden is producing nicely. Doesn't get much more local than 20 feet out the back door. #justahomecook #homegardener #Gardensky #Cookingsky
Portrait in pink plate and pour. Grilled char with savory rhubarb ginger sauce. Roasted potatoes and fennel. Nero D'Avola rosato from Martha Stoumen. All leftovers, including the #wine. My leftovers are better than most first runs. #Winesky #justahomecook #Foodsky #Cookingsky
I (fortunately) smoked my turkey pastrami while the Knicks were (unfortunately) getting smoked. #justahomecook #Foodsky #Cookingsky
Avo-ganoush. (Middle) East meets (South) West. Roasted eggplant, avocado, grated cotija, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, Aleppo pepper, dried mint. #justahomecook #Foodsky #Cookingsky #avoganoush
