Grilled Leg of Lamb 2008-08-14 21:54:01
Okay… I’ve figured out how to win the current Presidential election. Create a 3 day work week. That’s right. I have been on vacation all week this week; maybe call it a “staycation” as we decided to go nowhere. But, if I promised to make the work week 3 days and the rest of the week, were to be off days, how could I lose? I imagine that the huge corporate machine Read more:Grilled
Grilled Ribeye with Garlic Butter 2008-08-12 11:15:51
There is nothing like a grilled rib-eye. I think it is the most orgasmic of dining experiences. Juicy, tender, beefy. All this may need is a bacon wrapping; you know, to make it more healthy and delicious! Well, pair a good rib-eye with a baked potato and a great salad and I am in heaven.
I am somewhat spoiled when it comes to my steak. After tasting the best that Lobels has to offer, and a f Read more:Butter

Garlic Lime Pork Chops With Red Quinoa Pilaf 2008-09-13 12:34:12
Some of you may have read my rant several posts ago about the kind of pork we see in the mega marts. They showcase really lean cuts of pork with virtually no marbling sealed up in Cryovac packages, swimming in an “enhancing” solution of water, salt and sodium phosphates. As a matter of fact, I was at my local market just last week and I ended up buying one of these packages. I went Read more:Garlic
A Moment 2008-09-11 10:28:19
I, and most, if not all of you, know that it has been seven years today since a cowardly group of freedom hating radical fundamentalists decided to inflict death and pain on innocent American citizens.
And in a flash…the towers; they were gone!
Today, my thoughts are with all who lost loved ones on this day in 2001. Today my thoughts are with my sisters and brothers at arms and in Read more:Moment
Wood Grilled Halibut With Peach Succotash 2008-09-06 06:45:09
Halibut: means holy butt. Haly (holy) and butt (flat fish).
Will someone please tell me why this fish, the halibut, costs so much money? I think I paid $17 USD per pound. That is a lot or money considering that the cousin of this fish is the flounder which costs, at its most expensive, around $9 - $11 per pound. That’s right, the halibut is essentially a flounder. It is a bottom dweller Read more:Grilled

Smoked Brisket With Caramelized Vidalia Onion Barbecue Sauce 2008-08-30 16:56:44
Anyone who knows barbecue knows brisket. It is truly the big daddy of barbecue. Now I just treated myself to a brand new Weber Genesis grill and boy I am loving it (more on that later). But I would never cook a brisket on it. No, never. This tough piece of beef, basically it is a pectoral muscle, needs low, slow, smoky, love. Wow, odd snippets of Barry White just popped into my head…oh y Read more:Barbecue

Vanilla Mashed Sweet Potatoes 2008-09-29 13:49:05
In the cupboard are the sweet potatoes. I need a side dish. So is it baked sweet potatoes? Nah, how about sweet potato souffle, you know with pineapple? Nope. Like a presidential candidate, I just floundered trying to come up with a side dish using these potatoes.
This is why Al Gore gave us the Interweb, right? So I Google. Lotsa hits! Wow I figure. Gotta be something creative in this result Read more:Sweet

Smoked Salmon or What to do with Leftover Tzatziki Sauce 2008-09-22 07:58:41
After really enjoying the grilled lamb, I had a quite a bit of the tzatziki sauce left. I had used it for potato salad and to top the lamb, but I was out of ideas. So I’m thinking, gyros? Wasn’t in the mood for them. See that’s the thing, I am not the most creative cook in the kitchen. Coming up with ideas generates quite a bit of brain smoke. I wish I could be more like you Read more:Leftover

It's Bacon!!! 2008-10-13 08:16:37
Wow! I have been on somewhat of a hiatus as some of you may have noticed. This wasn’t by choice and believe me, I was not enjoying myself. Every once in a while, it really hits the fan, you know what I mean? A perfect storm! Well, it wasn’t really all that bad. A deadline for a release was pushed up significantly at work. That was pretty intense. One guy was on vacation only to ret Read more:Bacon
