About Me

Portrait of me by my friend the incredibly talented Cindy Derby. It’s pretty much spot on.

Her work was in Charlotte Hale’s house in fucking West World, for Christ’s sake. I about shit myself for reals.

My name is Lucius Steel. I have many intersecting identities. Roughly translated, that means: don’t put me in a box. Or a corner.

Nobody puts Baby in the corner.

I don’t half-ass many things. I generally use the entirety of my ass for any endeavor.

I love food and cooking it.

I raised two kids.

I am a physician.

I make fine leather goods.

I’ve written novels that were lovingly incinerated by scores of agents and editors.

I shoot guns for fun.

I was going to start a space program but Elon Musk got there first. That fucker.

As for this blog, you’ll notice it isn’t broken up into traditional categories like “Breakfast”, “Lunch”, and *yawn….what was I saying?

Right. I divide these recipes into “Ridiculously Easy”, “Worth the Work”, “Bitch, Please”, “Shit You Need”, and “Grown-ass Drinks”. Why? Because I make the rules around here.

Oh! I also have “Fucking Fails”. Because failures are hilarious - I mean really informative.
