I shot this video last night (š) and thought, this is actually criminal. But perfect for my first post on PI. Halloween might actually be the worst night to cook.āand with a little reflection in this post (easily straight out of a horror film.) Next year, on October 31, Iām taking things out of my hands = party snacks, candy, maybe a couple of sandwitches. The real Halloween essentials so we donāt starve⦠or commit any more culinary crimes.š
I have the tiniest apartment in NYC and I love her. The kitchen is nothing more than the fridge sink oven and a small square of counter space but you know what we make it WORK. I never have all the necessary equipment to cook something but it forces me to get creative. I didnāt have a lid to my saucepan so guess what we threw a baking sheet on there and called it a day. All I really needed was something to keep the heat (mostly) in. Donāt have vinegar? Put in a lemon, thatās also an acid. Donāt have a trussing needle? Weāre dousing a safety pin in alcohol and sewing that chicken UP. Restriction makes you think about why youāre doing something instead of going through the motions. Donāt let your kitchen for ants hold you back!
my power went out for 32 hours and now that my power is back on I had to cook everything in my fridge bc of food safety anxiety. (if you work in a kitchen you get it)
but I love having to throw something together!! I did a za'tar veg bake with brie and asparagus puff pastry bites and it fucked.
not an aesthetic instagram picture I just like cooking for my friends
Just launched merch āButtzā after realizing itās 6 months into 2025 and everything Iāve worked on creatively either hasnāt dropped or isnāt cool :p Right now itās pay what you want + shipping. Can drop off in Brooklyn.
