Wine Cookies
To clarify: the cookies in question do not contain wine; they are meant to accompany wine. The name's origins are somewhat murky. As I recall, a friend of mine once expressed a wish that there were cookies that would go with beer. I looked around a bit, found a recipe from Julia Child's magnum opus Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and produced these. Best as I can remember, the people I first served them to determined that they were better suited to wine than to beer—possibly because of the blue cheese, but who the hell knows, frankly. For the record, JC calls these Galettes au Roquefort, or Roquefort Cheese Biscuits. I'm sticking with Wine Cookies.

Port in a Storm
Should you find yourself in Denver Airport's Terminal A for an extended period of time, Chef Jimmy's Bistro actually has a decent burger.

"Feasting on the Remains"
I put the title of this post in quotation marks because it is an expression I took from the divine Julia, who used "Feasting on the Remains" as a chapter subtitle in her book The Way to Cook. Sounds much classier than "What to do with the leftovers," don't you think?

We interrupt your regularly scheduled posting...
End-of-semester madness has wreaked havoc on the blog and in the kitchen (don't judge me). Be back soon.
