Eat at Home: Classy Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers
Oct 26 2010
When I asked my brother what he was bringing to my party, and he said “beer and jalapeño poppers,” I thought he was joking around. I’m not going to pretend that I don’t like fried jalapeños stuffed with cheese, but I figured he was being ironic in an I’m-bringing-over-Bagel-Bites sort of way.
Eat at Home: Don’t-Hold-the-Anchovies Pizza
May 08 2010Anchovies get a bad rap. I’m convinced most of us have an aversion to them because, as kids, we always saw them being vilified in sitcoms and cartoons—“yuck, hold the anchovies!”

Once I got home, I started insisting on anchovies every time I went out for pizza—they do it really well at Casa Bianca in Eagle Rock and, of course, at Pizzeria Mozza.

Here are the goods on my “Don’t-Hold-the-Anchovies Pizza”:
