I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps. Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes. This is what Courtney Barnett is planning in her song Avant Gardener before her day takes a bad turn. I imagine that things got better and she was able to plant that garden eventually so the neighbors would stop thinking that they have a meth lab in the house. Then one day after the garden grew, she made this sweet salad with the harvest.

These noodles use hummus as a shortcut to making something that tastes like Thai takeout.

A Japanese take on traditional carbonara, with some charred pork belly in place of bacon.

A twist on pasta salad that uses pad thai flavors.
