We’re definitely keeping our eye on the Royal Wedding craziness, especially guessing who will cater the affair. But what really is cracking our asses up is the new meme characterizing the princess-in-waiting, as adoring Champagne, shaming her balding fiancée and hating Mondays (just like the rest of us).
And of course, not knowing a single fucking thing about cooking.
Enjoy monarch mocking.

I’ve relaxed on my cheese and egg intake to help lower my cholesterol, but have also upped my oatmeal eating in pursuit of the same goal. My dad and sister eat oatmeal almost daily, zapping a bowl in the microwave and dousing in ground cinnamon.
I take the path less traveled and wait almost an hour for my bowl of steel cut oats. I also will not rest with the simple topping of a powdered spice. After a few bland bowls, I’ve discovered how to satisfyingly eat my way to a healthier body and not be totally bored with lunch.
Bravo if you’re at a desk this morning instead of hugging your toilet. Yesterday was a brilliant day, when two extremely holy holidays came together for a magical 24 hours: St. Patrick’s Day and the first day of March Madness.
We have something for you that’s almost as magical: Corned Beef Hashburger with a Fried Egg. Enjoy your hangover with a side of delicious leftovers.

It’s tough goings for the garnish industry in the winter. Fresh herbs refuse to pop up until the weather warms so I’m left with spices, sauces and dried herbs to lay that finishing touch on a dish.
Earlier this year I wrote about a different type of garnish issue – I used an ingredient foreign from the dish to decorate it. I thought the beautiful black pellets of mustard seeds would contrast nicely to the orange sweet potato soup splattered with bright, white yogurt. And in fact, I think it looked lovely. I decided it didn’t matter that I hadn’t used mustard seed in the soup. I’d use it to enhance the look of the dish, without compromising the taste.
I used the opposite approach this weekend in my bean and cabbage dish. This was a simple, hearty dish combining tiger eye beans, slashed cabbage, onion and garlic, flavored with chipotle and cumin. The cabbage, onion and garlic adapted the brick color of the chipotle and adobo sauce and the tiger beans lost their stripes in the long cooking process, turning into a similar hue as the rest of the dish.
It needed some contrast. It needed some brightness. And I didn’t have a goddamn fresh herb in sight.
