I can’t hear the word ‘beer‘ without thinking back fondly of Frankenstein’s in Boston. Just one block’s trot from my student flat. I could eat dinner there for just $1. It was 1987, true, but $1? The hotdogs, the only food served in this funky bar, were ginormous (gigantic and enormous). The toppings were practically a meal…

I served it with side dishes of grilled Portobello mushrooms and cherry tomatoes as well as…

Our friends had a lovely set of silver mango forks, with super long central tines which when inserted into the…
Holly’s Halishkas – New Age Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
I’ve waited patiently for one of my posted dishes to fill the house with the irresistible home cooking aroma of my youth. Ah, I’ve arrived. These are among the best halishkas I’ve ever tasted. I would proudly serve them at a dinner party. I sampled one as soon as I removed the casserole from the…
