Recipe Roundup

Flat 493 was always a fan of home cooking, but with *gestures vaguely*, we have really stepped up our game. In embracing “good” this year and all the good we do in our kitchen, planning/hoping to share more of what we do. Some our faves thus far in 2021: • Half Baked Harvest’s White Wine […]

Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

How in the world is it the end of January already? Obviously, I am starting off super well at celebrating what’s happening at Flat 493. As mentioned, I’ve found a great group of cooks and food photographers who come up with Instagram collaborations to challenge my menu – and iPhone photography skills! • Technique – […]

Must Be the Season of the Squash

I love having seasons. The posterchild for Gemini, my mercurial nature gets bored with the same thing for too long. Therefore, I definitely did that Jonah Hill “squee” gif when Hampton told me squashes were coming in at the Trader Joe. With choir and a matinee last Sunday, my “meal prep” this week was really […]

A Mini-Break Means True Love

And totally saved money, I’m sure. Since I’m […]

Thick Thighs Save Lives

Over the winter, Hampton and I have discovered an appreciation for the humble bone in/skin on chicken thigh. Usually we sear and then braise with some sort of wine or cider and whatever veg we have around, but this weekend, as we wanted to use our new grill for the first time and we were […]

Birth Days and Birthdays

Last weekend we took a minibreak to DC for a surprise baby shower and Hampton’s birthday. It started off with a bang. Literally. I was washing my hair Friday morning and heard a massive crash of glass. The globe from the ceiling fan on our upstairs landing had fallen and smashed EVERYwhere. Luckily, I didn’t […]
