In episode 7, we enjoyed pan-seared tuna, garlic mashed sweet potatoes and steamed (frozen) snap peas.  We also debate the merits of cultivating our inner fascist and whether or not the salsa/goat cheese sauce we put on the tuna was ill-advised.

We're back with a vengeance and a (sort of) sweet tooth.  This peach dessert may not be the most photogenic thing, but it wasn't half bad if The Chef says so himself...

In Episode 6A, an existential crisis is narrowly averted through the joy of food.  The Chef whines (a lot), but ultimately dines, all without opening the nearby bag of Funyons.  Also, we again sing the praises of Saint Mark Bittman - but still change his recipes without a second thought. Sorry, dude...

The cheese crunchy from a couple of episodes ago makes another appearance, miraculously transfiguring itself into the basis of the first course paired with orzo and porcini mushroom risotto.

The second course? Chicken "en pappillote", asparagus with oyster mushroom cream sauce, and of course, some tasty seasonal beverages!

How could you possibly resist?  Grab some silverware, and dig into a succulent helping of Episode 6A!

"6A," you ask?  That's right, bitches!  We had so much to say that we needed didn't save room for dessert!  We've expanded, unfolded and generally flopped over into Episode 6B - available very soon! Check back!

So.  What are you eating? What's eating you?

In Episode 5, we daube a bit of garlic and beef, share some listener feedback, then go off on possibly ill-advised rants about airport security and cable companies. There may also be a cameo from our dog's squeaky suck toy. Seriously, can you afford to miss this episode?

Books we mentioned in this episode:
Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything
Julie Powell's Julie and Julia
(and here's the original blog)

mea culpa...in the show, we misidentified Julie's project as cooking her way through The Joy of Cooking.  It was really Mastering the Art of French Cooking!
