Easy Omelette Recipe: The Green Monster! (Spinach and Bacon)
Green Monster omelette! It sounds like something from a B Movie or a pulp novel but it’s actually a delicious breakfast item . A couple years back on a brief visit to Maine, we went to a diner which served this variation of a regular omelette. The name is an homage to the 37 foot […]
Food Song of the Month: Newbeats “Bread and Butter”
The classic song “Bread and Butter” by the Newbeats always puts a smile on my face. In seeing the video, do you expect that voice from lead singer Larry Henley? This, the Shreveport trio’s best known song, was released in 1964 reaching #2 on the billboard charts in the U.S.
Indian Mustard Greens Recipe (Gluten Free, Vegan)
Mustard greens never factored into my regular Bengali diet growing up. The leafy green king at home was generally spinach. Thanks to the many Punjabi owned restaurants in Manhattan and Queens I’ve now learned about the famous “sarson ka saag.” Mustard greens as the name implies are very sharp, almost horseradish-y in taste but satisfying, […]
Cisco Brewers Summer of Lager (Massachusetts, 5.6% ABV)
Congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens on the hard fought Superbowl win and for being the only team with a literary reference. This is one of the beers I check out during the big game along with Joe Mama’s Milk. Perhaps it was the Jacoby Jones record setting 108 yard kick off return/TD but this beer […]
Joe Mama’s Milk Stout Review (8%, Keegan Ales, Saratoga Springs, NY)
Joe Mama’s Milk is another great beer Keegan Ales, the makers of Mother’s Milk. It pours a respectable size head. The added coffee extract is clear in both the aroma and flavor. As is characteristic of milk stouts, it’s creamier than standard stout cousins. It’s super drinkable with a very negligible hoppiness. It’s actually lighter […]
Ghoogni, an easy Indian snack with chickpeas (Gluten Free, Vegan)
Ghoogi is something we’d eat often as children. It’s a healthy, inexpensive snack that’s vegan and gluten free to boot. Many people are familiar with Chana (Chole) Masala, the Punjabi cousin to Ghoogni. In restaurants it’s often served as a main dish with rice or kulcha naan bread. Ghoogni on the other hand is eaten […]
Happy Superbowl Sunday. What’s for Dinner?
Huzzah! I’m not a big fan of football in general but it’s difficult to not get excited for the Superbowl. It’s once a year. It’s the biggest TV event in the country. It’s the inevitable water cooler conversation tomorrow. But more important than all that is the food eaten before and during the game. As […]
Ilopart Rose Brut 2005 (Spain)
A gift from an old work place, this bottle laid dormant for years on the modest RoodonFood wine rack. Occasionally I’d notice and make noises about trying it sometime. A thick layer of dust accumulated. Sometimes the Illopart was the only inhabitant on the rack and yet it was still ignored. Well, as this is […]

30 Rock Finale: No More Food Jokes
It’s sad to see the NBC sitcom 30 Rock end. The Tina Fey created show never became a hit exactly but it did win a ridiculous amount of awards. Despite being about the production of a SNL type of comedy show it didn’t feel pretentious. In fact, sometimes half the jokes seemed food related. After […]
