The LA Blade’s intrepid Washington D.C.-based political reporter snarks his way through another delicious weekly recipe while dishing tea on other subjects…
WASHINGTON – Last night, I ordered a Negroni spagliato with prosecco in it, and my server audibly groaned at me. You can’t always get what you want. Unless you make it yourself.
A couple weeks ago, I introduced some of you to the wonders of ricotta toast and hinted that my toast was from a homemade baguette. Well, it’s time for that recipe!
I don’t, actually. To limit my bread consumption, I only eat it when I make it myself. (It’s not that hard, but it is time consuming. A lot for a weekday.)

The LA Blade’s intrepid Washington D.C.-based political reporter snarks his way through another delicious weekly recipe while dishing tea on other subjects…
WASHINGTON – Pumpkin spice won. It’s time to accept it and move on. So reads the headline of a column last month by Washington Post food reporter Emily Heil. And I have no reason to dispute the arguments she’s laid out nor the conclusions she’s reached. What’s wrong, after all, with some cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger?
Listen, there’s a reason the Pumpkin Spice Latte is so popular. Though, as a gay man, I understand I must take it iced no matter how chilly the weather is outside. Those are the rules. Shout out to my best friend Kelsey Craig, PSL ambassador and one of two straight women I know who still watches Grey’s Anatomy (hi, Saniya Rao.)
So, the cheesecake pictured here is not pumpkin spice flavored. But it could be! Very easily, in fact…
The recipes I’ve seen online for pumpkin cheesecake demand that you include one cup or a 15-oz can of pumpkin puree. My gut tells me you probably don’t need it. Instead, refer to the recipe below, where I’ve given you two options – in case you’d like to make an orange flavored cheesecake, as pictured.
I haven’t tested the pumpkin spice version. But you can! Please let me know how it turns out. Seriously.

The LA Blade’s intrepid Washington D.C.-based political reporter snarks his way through another delicious weekly recipe while dishing tea on other subjects…
WASHINGTON – The toast pictured here was made with a homemade baguette. Yours doesn’t have to be, and there was no reason for me to flex like that because the point of today’s column is to demonstrate how a few easy steps can elevate the mundane into something extraordinary.
This really is so easy. Low effort, high reward. A perfectly serviceable appetizer to serve guests at a dinner party and an equally satisfying lunch on the go. Plus, learning to make your own avocado toast will save you enough money to afford an undesirable home in the Valley in about 729 years.
Plus, it’s officially spooky season. IYKYK.
The key ingredient, apart from the toast – obviously – is ricotta. From there, you can go sweet or savory. Fruit, fish, mushrooms…the world is your oyster.
Be creative with your toppings. Pictured here is prosciutto, capers, freshdill, and flakysalt. On other piece: sliced cherry tomatoes, chives, and honey.

WASHINGTON – The head cold or upper respiratory infection or whatever it is that I’m suffering from has worsened over the last 24 hours and I feel like complete garbage. So, what have I turned to for comfort on this weekend afternoon?
That’s right, NyQuil chicken.
But afterwards, a bowl of warm noodles (followed by a bowl of cold ice cream) all while re-watching Dance Moms. Look, if you can’t handle me at my worst, that is completely understandable because I am a monster.
Today, we’re making one of the four pastas of Rome, amatriciana. I made some modifications that Italians might not approve of, but I don’t care. Oh, you learned everything there is to know about the Italian culinary arts from your study abroad? I don’t think so.
Optional but encouraged: Season with flaky salt, black pepper, grated raw garlic, more red pepper flakes, a drizzle of olive oil, and garnish with basil

The LA Blade’s intrepid Washington D.C.-based political reporter snarks his way through another delicious weekly recipe while dishing tea on other subjects…
WASHINGTON – Is anyone ever that jazzed about potato salad? Always the side dish but never the bride, it’s somehow simultaneously the most omnipresent but least memorable food brought to a barbecue or potluck situation. Friends, I’m here to tell you there’s a better way.
To make my point, I should have done just the potato salad and not distracted you with the fried chicken pictured therewith. If you would like to make the fried chicken, I used the same recipe from my August 14 column.
What makes this potato salad so special? Everything. It’s so much more than mayonnaise and boiled spuds. It’s got tangy citrus, salty umami-rich anchovies, fresh dill. Your German immigrant ancestors could never. Sorry.
Oh, another thing: For those of us who are not infants and still have use of our teeth, I do not understand the appeal of any food that doesn’t have some texture. Another issue I have with other potato salads but not this one, which has a delightful crunch.
Bring this to a potluck and it will be gone faster than the Queen’s spirit traveled to Trisha Paytas’s baby. I need to get off Twitter because it’s rotting my brain. Also, when looking up the spelling of Paytas’s name, I discovered she named the baby Malibu Barbie. Don’t really have further comment on that matter but I thought you should know, too.
Add six to eight thinly sliced radishes, a few scallions, or chives, radish and sunflower microgreens, and an ungodly amount of fresh dill. Some of the ingredients in this step are optional. The dill is not. Season again with salt and black pepper

WASHINGTON – God has given me many blessings, but a mad thicc juicy booty is not among them. It’s just lower back to upper thigh. I am instantly uncomfortable in a wooden chair. There is no cushion (including for the pushin’). I’m a bottom without a bottom.
No matter, because in my 30s I’ve learned embrace what I’ve got (as well as what I don’t got).
Today, we’re making buns. Famously, I love eating and hate exercise, so of course I’m talking about baking rather than doing squats.
And with these buns, we’re going to make unbelievably tasty burgers.
Burger time: I really don’t care what you put on your burger. Use the buns for pulled pork sandwiches if you want. I will, however, share some facts:

WASHINGTON – According to survey data, people spend an average of 3 hours and 42 minutes per day on their phones. But according to me, y’all are lying on these surveys. Because according to those weekly push notifications, my daily screen time usually exceeds 8-9 hours…
You know what, though? I have zero regrets about the time I spent this week cradling my iPhone, basking in its blue light as I investigated the rumor about Glee actress Lea Michele not being able to read or write. Nor do I think the Wikipedia journey I took just now in preparation for writing this column was time ill-spent. More on that in a moment, but first, this tweet:
If you’re not up to speed on the roots of the hilariously unhinged rumor, check out this podcast from Slate, this article in The Cut, and this pretty comprehensive summary in Complex. You’ll thank me.
Anyway, among the many fascinating and occasionally valuable things I’ve learned from Wikipedia is the following, which concerns the dish featured in today’s column (cashew chicken, in case you’ve forgotten by now after this long journey/Lea Michele digression…)
The Chinese American staple has deep ties to an unexpected place. Specifically, to the third largest city (Springfield) in a midwestern state (Missouri) represented by a Senator who fist-pumped in solidarity with the J6 insurrectionists and then, when they ransacked the Capitol, fled like he was Lea Michele at a table read. (To be fair, the good people of Missouri twice elected Claire McCaskill before they sent Josh Hawley to Congress.)
Cashew chicken, popularized by a Chinese immigrant at, of all places, the Grove Supper Club in Springfield, Missouri. Who would’ve thought?
Alright. Let’s make like a suburban dad and wok & roll. (Sorry.)
