Gentleman at Home

Caves are for bears and stalagmites, not men. G@H is dedicated to the ManHome and all those leading lives of gentlemanly distinction.

Where we live, it’s frigid. So we’re warming ourselves using all available measures. This includes consuming bowlfuls of chicken and wild rice soup. The savory, layered broth transports our minds to more comfortable times. It soaked into crusty bread makes for a near perfect bit.

With our wife out of town, what kind of trouble did we get into? Pasta trouble. We made fresh macaroni, tossed in Sicilian olive oil, pancetta, and garlic and served under grilled chicken. When the cat’s away …

Here we are in the dead of winter, and what could be better than chicken and wild rice soup? It warms the belly and comforts the soul, like sitting in front of a crackling fire on a snowed-in weekend. #comfocomfort

Talk about brash. As we plan a glorious, much-anticipated Italian vacation, we're over here cooking up Italian food for dinner. At least we'll have a basis of comparison.

It's a complement when your wife calls you a meatball, right? A term of endearment? 😬

We're going to keep eating tomato burrata salad until the frost rolls in and kills our plants. Until then, expect more of this, including those homemade croutons.

[Gentleman at Home @GentlemanatHome]

We follow one rule to living a happy, healthy, joyous existence: during #tomato season, eat them with everything. This tomato confit poured over medium-rare #steak filled our bellies and our hearts.

How are you celebrating Labor Day weekend? We're dining on a couple steaks and feeling magnificent. Our only grievance is that the butcher labeled them NY strips, but in our household, we call them KC strips. None of that East Coast bias here. #steaknight

There's a lot we could say about this food, and we'd mean every word of it. But it's a plate of #burrata, homegrown tomatoes and crostini, so . . . just look at it.

Our wife managed to achieve that crispy exterior without the deep dive into hot oil. This meal comes courtesy of the @CosoriCooks fryer. All the flavor, less of the guilt.

[Gentleman at Home @GentlemanatHome]

Our wife, ever the kitchen magician, did it again. As Exhibit A, allow us to present this breaded chicken cutlet and then immediately rest our case. Open and shut. Signed, sealed, delivered. Are we mixing metaphors? Probably, but it doesn’t matter.

Find someone who loves you as much as our wife loves this BLT.* Heirloom tomatoes. Brown-sugar-glazed bacon. Brioche bread. Yum!

*We won’t comment on how her feelings for us compare to hers for the sandwich.

If you aren’t refreshed on a summer’s day by fresh #watermelon juice, then you might be destined to live a parched existence. 🍉🍹 Don't forget to coat the rim in tajin for added layers of flavor.

[Gentleman at Home @GentlemanatHome]

Here’s a spirited way to slide into the weekend. We brought home a watermelon. Next thing we know, it had been sliced then blended then mixed into a #margarita.

[Gentleman at Home @GentlemanatHome]

For a recent #dinner, we grilled chicken kebabs with homegrown tomatoes. We marinated the #kebabs in pesto beforehand and then gave them a generous drizzle post-grilling. All pesto, all the time.

[Gentleman at Home @GentlemanatHome]

It’s mid-August, and you should be swimming in a garden full of fresh basil. Don’t squander these riches. Pesto them! Can “pesto” be a verb? Perhaps not, let’s try again. Transform that #basil into #pesto. And don’t do it halfway; go all out.

[Gentleman at Home @GentlemanatHome]

Whether you're whipping up a #pasta dish, jazzing up #pizza, or getting creative with sandwiches, homemade pesto always delivers on flavor. 🍝🍕🥪 #summer

[Gentleman at Home @GentlemanatHome]

We see a lot of posts about kids going back to school, and those photos are heartwarming. Keep them coming! But amidst the chorus of parents lamenting the end of summer, let’s get one thing straight. As long as we can pluck a juicy tomato off the vine. it's still summer to us. 🍅

[Gentleman at Home @GentlemanatHome]

Next time we come, we’ll be staying at the Paradise Inn so we can sit there and stare at the mountain, however long it takes, until the clouds break. #travelwa

How would you describe Mount Rainier National Park? An old-school national park? A towering stratovolcano? A smorgasbord of vistas? 🏞️⛰️ #mountrainier

[Gentleman at Home @GentlemanatHome]

And we took lots of photos, mostly of Mount Rainier because that was the point. Of course, this is the Pacific Northwest, and sometimes pesky clouds get in the way of a perfect photograph.
