Introducing Kitchen Archive: Old recipes, new generation:

mocahill:

Kitchen Archive is my new food blog devoted to old family recipes and recipes from my growing collection of community cookbooks. I promise lots of baked goods, recipes written in poetic verse, and some finds from my grandmothers’ recipe clippings (e.g. 1960s diet guides and retro food packaging).

My wife is an excellent writer and an excellent cook. If either of these attributes interest you, might I suggest her new blog?

For the title of my newest article on Splitsider about a show featuring a young Jason Bateman, I reused a really stupid joke that I originally wrote for my site in 2008.
