“WHAT TO DO WHEN NO ONE HAS A CLUE” is a new author video I made for Stephanie Pierson and Barbara Harrison to publicize their book. It's a humorous take on 21st century etiquette. Famous people share their wisdom about awkward situations, such as: * Is it okay to ask a lesbian how she got pregnant? * Can you ask for a doggie bag at a four-star restaurant? * Who gets the dog in a divorce? The short film takes off on the tongue-in-cheek style of the book. WATCH the video

Goat on the BarB

Goat on the Barbecue

Goat on the Barbecue

We cooked a goat on the barbecue. Who knew the tail would get an erection. Marinated overnight.  In all Dorothy’s cookbooks, it’s strange there aren’t goat recipes. Common advice, like from our Italian butcher at the Cow Palace in Center Moriches: treat it like lamb, except goat is much leaner. Dorothy didn’t use lemon juice because she was afraid the meat would get mushy.

Two and a half hours at 300º cooked over apple, peach and pear wood from our own trees.  Some was green and water soaked to infuse a smoky flavor. Controlling the fire, especially a wood fire, keeping it low, is not easy. Very easy to make a fire too hot. I’ve started keeping an extra stash of wet wood for such occasions.

Served with white beans, potatoes, baked tomatoes. Not much left over.
