Caiola’s

by Jillian Bedell November 18, 2010

Finally, a gorgeous meal in a charming restaurant. Last night at Caiola’s was everything I wanted it to be: an intimate dinner for two at a good, really good! neighborhood place just around the corner from our apartment. I called for reservations and was told 7:15; we were seated immediately upon arrival in the front [...]

Classics: Steamed Mussels with White Wine and Garlic

by Malcolm Bedell November 17, 2010

One of the great things about living in Maine, is that an “economical” dinner can often include steamed lobster, clams, or in this case, mussels. A two-pound bag of mussels is $2.99, and, served with a crusty baguette for dipping, is plenty of food for a light dinner for two. Most mussels are sold still [...]

Seng Chai Thai Cuisine

by Jillian Bedell November 16, 2010

I‘m so tired of mediocre meals. To that end, Malcolm and I are absolutely going to one of the great restaurants that came up naturally in conversation on Sunday night, when we went to Seng Chai with the others for the last stop in this round of Thai-o-rama tasting sessions. We are going to eat [...]

Today’s Sandwich: Tuna Italian (West End Deli)

by Malcolm Bedell November 15, 2010

Location: 133 Spring Street Price: $6.00 (small) Notes: Today’s sandwich, a tuna “Italian” from the West End Deli, actually manages to make tuna fish, well, interesting. Although a little on the small side for a $6 sandwich, the attention to detail here takes some of the burn out of the initial sticker shock. Fresh, zippy [...]

Basque Lamb Soup

by Jillian Bedell November 12, 2010

Isn’t it a beautiful day in Portland, Maine? Wow, full-on autumnal spectacular. What’s the only thing to make a sunny day brighter? Lamb stew, of course. I did my best to be faithful to this recipe, but a few modifiations were made. It went something like this when I did it: Ingredients 2.75 pounds of [...]

Today’s Sandwich: “Big Malc” (Homemade)

by Malcolm Bedell November 11, 2010

Notes: As it turns out, the reason McDonald’s hamburgers (with some exceptions) aren’t very good isn’t because their team of food scientists haven’t worked out some delicious flavor combinations; they have. All you have to do is use fresh ingredients. Today’s sandwich uses 1/3 pound of ground sirloin, divided in half, pressed thin, and grilled, [...]

Pretty Lady Food: White Bean & Red Pepper Spread

by Jillian Bedell November 10, 2010

One fine fall day in 1983, my best friend KG had a scathingly brilliant idea. We would, in the tradition of children from time immemorial, combine in a gross orgy ingredients from her mother’s pantry and vanity, and feed this unholy concoction to her neighbor and, I knew, friend when I wasn’t around, the very [...]

Creamed Spinach

by Malcolm Bedell November 9, 2010

A big part of going out to a steakhouse is, for me, the array of side dishes that accompany your weeping slab of meat. You can dress your table up any way you’d like, with items far too rich and indulgent to brave making at home. Have you ever seriously considered making your own green [...]

Nosh Kitchen Bar

by Malcolm Bedell November 8, 2010

Your level of excitement about Nosh Kitchen Bar is going to be directly proportional to how over the whole “Cult of Bacon” you are feeling at the moment. If you ever actually say, out loud, the words, “everything is better with bacon,” during casual conversations with friends, own a t-shirt that says, “I <3 Bacon,” [...]
