Chocolate-Covered Rice Krispie Treats
Now, I remember my mom making Rice Krispie treats for me when I was a little mouse—back in the dark ages, before microwave ovens were everywhere. She’d set a big pot on the stove to melt the marshmallows and butter together. It took a long time. There was constant stirring and fretting over whether the [...]
Fight Night Feast at The Mouse House
Last night, we had a handful of close friends over to watch the UFC fight. We had a fabulous time, and all ate way too much. Here’s a little photo tour of what we served. I’ll be posting the recipes up later on this week.
Christmas in the Country
We spent Christmas day in the country at my folks’ house. They live a few hours from Boston, in a warm house that’s nestled on the edge of a pine forest. It was a quiet and lovely holiday. And man, I’m still stuffed. After such a crazy year, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer [...]
Thanksgiving 2008: A Photographic Feast
The Angry Chef will tell you: Mice are nosy creatures. It’s true. I’m always interested in seeing what other folks do in their kitchens, put on their tables, and eat when they celebrate.

Dueling Wings, Part 2: Chai Ginger Hot Wings
Last night, we revealed one contender in The Hungry Mouse’s chicken wing duel: Lemon Buttermilk Fried Chicken Wings. Tonight, we’d like to introduce the other. This evening—in this corner, on the red plate—we have Chai Ginger Hot Wings. They spent an evening soaking in a bath of Chai tea, ginger, and Aleppo chili flakes. I [...]
Dueling Wings, Part 1: Lemon Buttermilk Fried Chicken
The other day, I bought a huge package of beautiful, meaty whole chicken wings. I couldn’t decide on a single recipe, so I divided the chicken in half and whipped up two different marinades. I let each batch soak overnight. Chicken wing battle, GO! On the white plate in golden brown, our first contender: Lemon [...]
Mid-Autumn Meat Feast at The House of the Hungry Mouse
The other night, The Angry Chef and I had a good old friend over for dinner. We hadn’t seen him in quite a while, and it was so lovely to catch up. He brought a great bottle of sweet white wine and some fantastic port. We made dinner, which I’m realizing now turned into a [...]
