So you love Eggplant Parmesan, but you’re on a diet… Or you can’t have fried foods because of your blood pressure, cholesterol or other Doctor restricted $(#*%#()_ food groups. Here’s an eggplant parmesan that omits the breading and frying, replaces it with herbs and roasting, and adds some spinach for extra vitamins. It’s a healthier […]
Stock Options…
If you’re like me and use stocks and broths to enhance the flavor of other foods more often than using them to make a soup you may find yourself, as I do, with boxes of broth in the fridge that inevitably go bad before you can use them up. I found an easy solution to […]
Links
So since I can’t eat all the goodness I see in the world, especially in light of recent developments, I’ve decided to start linking up some of the goodness I see out on the web. This one I have no words for, I would love to do this in my kitchen… Eventually… From “No Salad […]
Tomato Sauce Revisited
Every cook changes their recipes, a little tweak here, a pinch of something new there, and before you know it, you’ve rewritten an entire recipe. I first committed my tomato sauce recipe to paper about 6 years ago, published it online a couple of years after that, and when this site went up it was […]
24:21 of Perfect Techno

It can be rather disquieting sometimes, nightmares are so terrifying that I’ve been known to let out a blood curdling scream in my sleep. My ex Rob would have to […]
Picture This…
So… Back in June I went to see Blondie perform at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square NYC. During the show I snuck out my camera and snapped a few photos which was against the rules, but I did it anyway. I personally know that Debbie doesn’t mind photos, she minds the damn flashbulbs, but […]
The Spy Who Fed Me…
The news is all atwitter the last 24 hours about the late Julia Child’s time in the OSS. It’s not been a secret for a long time that she worked in the OSS in a clerical role, it was long suspected that she was more than a secretary, and the CIA even admitted as much […]
Why Merlene Should Win…

Changes are afoot…
So, you may have noticed, I haven’t exactly posted in a while… There’s a bunch of reasons, some good, some lazy, and some… well life has this way of throwing curve balls at you… I’m working on a number of ideas, none of which are related to the focus of my personal weblog… CharlesFrench.com was […]
