How to Make American Cheese

by Malcolm Bedell April 12, 2012

As our regular readers know, I’ll go to my grave defending processed, pasteurized American cheese. I understand your objections to this position. I’ve heard all of the arguments. It’s bland. It’s lowbrow. Heck, it’s not even technically cheese, but more of a sciency slurry of milk, whey, milkfat, artificial flavorings and oil, dyed orange and [...]

Today’s Sandwich: Sweet Ham and Swiss Cheese Sliders (Homemade)

by Malcolm Bedell April 2, 2012

Today’s sandwich is the “Sweet Ham and Swiss Cheese Slider.” It combines ham, Swiss cheese, sweet pickle, and mayonnaise on a butter-and-sugar-brushed soft dinner roll. Notes: I don’t think I’ve ever seen the combination of salty ham and sweet sugar embraced quite as mightily as it is in Southern Mexico. In that section of the [...]

Today’s Sandwich: Broccoli Cheddar Soup Grilled Cheese (Homemade)

by Malcolm Bedell March 28, 2012

Today’s sandwich combines sauteed broccoli, onion, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon on freshly-baked bread. Notes: Is there anything more comforting on all of planet Earth than a steaming hot mug of broccoli cheddar soup?

Today’s Sandwich: “Eggplant Parmesan” Grilled Cheese (Homemade)

by Jillian Bedell March 5, 2012

Today’s sandwich is the “eggplant parmesan” grilled cheese. It combines breaded, fried eggplant slices, tangy tomato sauce, three kinds of cheese on crusty Italian bread. Notes: It all started with a soda. An old friend gave me a liter of Foxon Park white birch, sweetened with real sugar and lightly effervescent. This small batch soft drink, which has [...]

Brown Ale and Cheddar Soup

by Malcolm Bedell February 1, 2012

Okay, so it’s possible that this isn’t the kind of meal you eat before you do anything too strenuous, like run headlong into a burning schoolhouse to save dozens of screaming orphans. It’s probably not the kind of thing you want to have for dinner the night before your first day in basic training for [...]

Brunswick Diner

by Malcolm Bedell December 22, 2011

If you’ve ever found yourself in a real, honest-to-goodness dive bar (that is, an old, locals-only neighborhood haunt, filled with down-and-outers, that doesn’t bother with screwing license plates and manufactured kitsch to the walls, or with spending a fortune on “lighting design,” or, for that matter, with “washing the dishes very well,” the kind of [...]

Lasagna Soup

by Malcolm Bedell December 5, 2011

This post is not for the lactose intolerant among you. It’s not for people who don’t love, and I mean really, really love, cheese. Close your browser window. Alt-F4. Come back tomorrow, and maybe we’ll have something that better suits your needs. This, right here, is a bowl of molten cheese. It’s exactly the kind [...]

Mushroom Medley au Gratin

by Malcolm Bedell November 23, 2011

All of the flavor of this Thanksgiving side dish comes from the natural earthiness of the mushroom blend, with just a touch of additional flavor from the white wine in the mustard, the fresh thyme, and the nutty Parmesan cheese. It makes for a pretty light, gently-seasoned version of this dish; there’s nary a can [...]

Stop the World, I’ve Made Fondue

by Jillian Bedell November 14, 2011

Maine is the first new place I’ve lived that I’ve really loved. It gets under your skin and you stay for years, without ever intending to, or knowing where the time has gone. It’s a haven to seek after traveling abroad. It’s a place to plant roots and watch them grow. I haven’t experienced this [...]
