The Ingredients

Here's a little something I sometimes cook up whenever it's my turn to take command in the kitchen. This simple, elegant dish has been dubbed "Brian's Special" around the homestead. The ingredients couldn't be more simple, as pictured above, just some sliced chicken sausage, various chopped vegetables (today it's carrots and string beans), chopped garlic, olive oil, sea salt and red pepper.

Sausage in the pan

The sausage goes into the pan with a little olive oil and red pepper flakes.

In go the veggies

In goes whatever vegetables you are using plus the garlic, let it all cook up together nice for a few minutes.

Adding the pasta

Throw in some cooked pasta you have had drained and cooling on the side, heat it up for about a minute while stirring, add a little sea salt and some more red pepper just before you plate it. And then, voilà!

Ready to eat!

On the plate, ready to eat with a nice french wine. Super simple, healthy and infinitely adjustable.

About Me

So that's me there in that picture. Or me in anime/manga form. I'll probably change that picture from time to time. What else? Well, I call New York City home. My passions include, but are by no means limited to music, politics, capoeira, and good single malt scotch. I suppose if you need to know more than that just mosey on over to the about page more info.

A Quick Observation

Ah, death metal and ballet - two great tastes that go together. Well, if by together you use a crowbar and some sort of lube.

A Short Aside

One of my favorite pleasures is spending quiet Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee and the NY Times. Highlights from this Sunday include a piece about 1970's New York and it's reflection on the ABC show 'Life on Mars' , an appreciation for the TED lecture series, a profile of one of contemporary China's best selling writers, and the role of internet social networks and protests on the Arab street.

Oh and some more bullshit from Tom Friedman...

Listening

Burst Lazarus Bird

How I missed this magnificent disc last year escapes me. Out in a barren waste where Swedish death metal meets Pink Floydian textures and Tool's hypnotic repetitiveness. A stunning work of stark metal beauty.
