Another week, another set of kitchen switcheroos. Mon 1/10: H – homemade ‘nduja/truffle pesto pizza. A – dinner meeting [more on this soon!]. Tues 1/11: lamb chops with Toro Bravo’s Warm Potato Salad With Vinegar & Chorizo. We usually get chops from Costco and cook them sous vide style in our Instant Pot at 132°…

This year, I’m going to attempt to share our weekly recipes. Maybe it’ll be inspiration. At the very least, I can better credit the food bloggers who inspire us. Mon 1/3: Colcannon Soup (aka Irish Potato and Cabbage Soup with Bacon). Flat 493 doesn’t do leek or onion and only very rarely shallot. And we…

It’s always feast or famine with posts around this joint, and today, it’s feast. And, yes, if you saw my Instastories the other week, I 100% saved onto to this post until appropriate for that joke. Anyway, I always say I am not a recipe creator. I can clean the fridge like no one else,…

I meant to share this weeks ago, but… whoops? So, here we go. Instead of doing the writing I should be doing for a paycheck. On a Saturday night. Good times at Flat 493. Ann-as-salad 🥗 — watermelon radishes: rarely seen out and about here in Winston-Salem — grilled shishito peppers: perhaps overdone, but also…

I’m participating in another August Break from Susannah Conway on Instagram. I’ve really come to appreciate these times of focus every few months. Saturday’s prompt was “glass”, which tied in perfectly with this silly story from Saturday… which I’m only now sharing here on Monday. You don’t follow me for timeliness. ——– On my way…

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…

While I haven’t been posting about them, collabs have still been happening. Collabs are basically where a bunch of people cook on a theme and use a common hashtag to share. As everyone’s favorite wizard turns 40 today, it was only natural we celebrate Harry Potter. One of the hosts is my Insta-friend Dora, who…

The next batch of collabs this January was, for me, conveniently dip focused. So, as per usual, I had some girlfriends over and made a day of it. • One of the regular foodies I connect with likes to say that “dairy is a crutch” so some of the other gals trolled him into hosting…

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 –…

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…
