The last time I went to the Somerville Winter Market (FYI – there are 2 more Saturdays before it’s over for the year!) I was lucky enough to find Pork Jowl at the Austin Brothers Farm stand. I have a history with Austin Brothers, I actually drove out to their farm in Belchertown, MA to buy pork belly when I made my own panchetta. I knew I had to buy the jowl and figure out what to do with it later. Don’t you love impulse buys? A craving for pork buns a few days later was all I needed to get going with this recipe.

Fried Cauliflower in an Indian Sweet and Sour
May 13th, 2012 
The Food in my Beard The last time I visited new york, I was lucky enough to literally stumble into a blogger event at an Indian restaurant near Madison Square Park called Junoon. Because I know the secret blogger handshake, I was able to sit at the bar tasting many of their creative cocktails and small bite appetizers. My favorite was a fried cauliflower that was tossed in a sweet and sour sauce. The owner described it to me as Indian-Chinese fusion. When I was attending a party last weekend and needed an alternative app that was also vegetarian, this was the first thing that came to mind.

Mushroom and Garlic Cannelloni
May 9th, 2012 The Food in my Beard Mystery Meet is a fun event in Boston where you sign up ahead of time for a dinner reservation, but you don’t know where you will be eating or who you will be eating with until the night before. I have attended in the past, but it actually went away for almost a whole year. Earlier this week was the triumphant return of the event and I was lucky enough to attend a fun dinner with a great group of people at Church of Boston, a bar and restaurant in the Fenway neighborhood. We dined of 4 courses of pretty fantastic stuff, but for some reason the mushroom cannelloni stuck out to me as something I wanted to make myself. It’s been a bit since I broke out the pasta maker, so I dusted it off and went to work.

May 7th, 2012 The Food in my Beard Jalapenos seem to be monstrous at the grocery store compared to their size from a few years back. I used this large size to my advantage, and was able to case a whole hot dog and some cheese inside a couple of cut jalapenos. The fun thing about this recipe is that you could make a whole dozen of them easily, pop em into a zip lock, and head out to your nearest B.Y.O.M. party (Bring Your Own Meat), camp fire, or other communal grilling situation.
