Oven-Roasted Hen of the Woods
Oct. 9th, 2023 01:41 pmIt's shroom-hunting season! And thanks to a local forager, we found ourself in possession of half a soccer ball's worth of Hen of the Woods, AKA Maitake. Biff decided to oven roast it, using a simplification of this recipe, and it was SO GOOD and so easy that we're sharing it here. (We had so much shroom that Biff ended up oven roasting a pan's worth of them, then stir-frying the rest with collards and bell pepper, and the oven roasting came out notably more delicious.)

HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUS GAY PIE
Nov. 25th, 2015 10:07 pmWe got a couple requests for the recipe for Mac's uber-gay birthday pie, so here it is! It is a version of the 'Lowfat Berry Pie' recipe from our copy of the Moosewood Cookbook, which is awesome and has lots of great recipes. This pie is pretty easy, which is good when you're already making a big dinner. It only takes about ten minutes after the pre-baking.

Mac's Deliciously Gay Birthday Pie
Nov. 21st, 2015 09:52 pmSo, I guess Biff decided he really wanted to be on my good side for my birthday, so he planned this big delicious meal for me as a gift. He baked a chicken, stir-fried some kale, and toasted some rolls, and the chicken came out amazing, but NOTHING compared to the amazingly gay pie he made me. Seriously, look at this thing!
It's a raspberry blackberry pie. Cost a fortune, all those berries, but oh man, so worth it. This pie was AMAZING. I'm going to want it for every birthday after this, because WOW. The pie didn't last the evening. RIP, pie. You were much beloved.
Good job, Biff. I like you. You can stay.
--MacIt’s me and Mac’s anniversary! And so, in honor of our seven fabulous years together, we are posting the recipe for our wedding cake (which we are baking once again today)! This cake is delicious, easy, and vegan! (Even though none of us are vegan, and neither was the couple who gave us this recipe. Funny story.)
5. Pour your cake batter into your pan and stick it in the oven for an hour.
6. Pull out your fantastic cake and ice it if you want. (Mac and I usually just glaze it with honey.)
