A friend had asked me for some recipes that would be good for someone on a shoe-string budget. I’ve been practicing a few and thought I’d post them in my recipe section. Later, I remembered I don’t have a recipe section, so I’ll post it here until such time as I get off my lazy ass and set one up. I’m going to devote several recipes to that curious stuff known in Canada as Kraft Dinner. Here’s my latest treat, Kraft Dinner Frittata:

2 TBS margarine
3 eggs
1 Pkg. Kraft Dinner
1 TBS Parmesan cheese
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup milk
fresh oregano and/or fresh basil, chopped fine
3 celery stalks, chopped

Boil the KD noodles as per instructions, and drain, but do not add cheese, milk, or margarine. Meanwhile, in a large skillet (preferably a cast-iron one) sauté the onion and celery in the margarine over medium heat, until the onion becomes soft and translucent. Reduce heat, and stir in the noodles, gently flattening the mound out.
Mix the eggs and all other ingredients in a bowl and whisk briskly until the cheese is fully dissolved, and the eggs are foamy. Pour the mixture over the noodles, making sure all parts are covered. — the pan should still be hot enough to cause the bottom layer to set. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cover the top. Let stand for 20-30 minutes, and if the frittata is set enough, flip it to cook the top. If you’re using a cast-iron skillet, top with cheese, and put under the broiler for about 5-10 minutes, or until the top is browned.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
