Pasta and Cheese Fritters
One of the eternal questions in life is "how much pasta should I make?" If you're familiar with bistromathics, you know that the answer is, of course, a recipriversexclusion – i.e., the answer is any othe number than the one you've…
Mushroom-Bacon Stuffed Omelets
Breakfast for dinner, right? I'll be honest and say I almost never have breakfaast for breakfast, but still… breakfast for dinner. There's just something magical about that (Dennys at 2AM aside). So, tonight's breakfast dinner is omelets. But not just…
