June 26, 2005

Hard to believe that we’ve reached the 16th Episode of Is My Blog Burning. An event that started over a year ago, on the Internet… still going strong? Unheard of in this day of fickle bloggers! But it appears that food bloggers have a bit more perseverence than their blogging counterparts. This is a good [...]

Pesto

June 26, 2005

Pesto is one of my favorite flavors. I love fresh basil, and when you combine it with a good olive oil, pine nuts and parmesan cheese, you can’t really beat it. A request has been made for my pesto recipe. The only problem is that I don’t have precise quantities for pesto-making. As I make [...]

A Late Spring Dinner

June 12, 2005

I’ve not been posting as much as I should be. There are a number of reasons for this, some of which will become apparent in the near future. There are other reasons that involve professional life, personal life, and… well… life in general that may or may not become apparent. That being said, tonight we [...]

May 12, 2005

With a pending trip to Las Vegas coming in April I took it upon myself to research locations of my favorite fast food, hot dogs. I came across an article in the Las Vegas Weekly that caught my eye “The Best of the Wurst“. Since I was in Vegas on business, my time to explore [...]

The Luck of the Irish

March 19, 2005

As luck would have it, we had plenty of corned beef left over from St. Pat’s day. This caused us to eagerly anticipate our Saturday lunch – leftover Corned Beef on leftover rye bread, with onions, mustard and swiss cheese. We very seldom buy corned beef for sandwiches from delis. In these parts its really [...]

Garlic Thyme Pork Chops and Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

March 6, 2005

I picked up some very nice thick cut pork chops at my local butchers this weekend. I wanted to try something new and different, so I went to that giant cookbook on the web Google and search for Pork Chop Recipe. One popped up from the Better Homes and Gardens web site that looked interesting, [...]

Chicken Marsala

March 6, 2005

While I’ve had Chicken or Veal Marsala before, it’s not been one of my favorite flavors in the past. Anyone who knows me understands that sweet and “real food” were never meant to be blended together. Don’t get me wrong – I have one of the stronger sweet tooths around. But I simply can not [...]

Braciole

February 13, 2005

Braciole with Farfalle It’s always a dilemma when a holiday like Valentine’s Day comes along. The desire to make a special meal is strong, but on the other hand, we make so many “special” meals routinely that it’s really hard to come up with something truly special. We discussed it a bit, and actually came [...]

Filet of Sole with Pesto Shrimp

January 29, 2005

On a recent evening I stopped by the grocery store on my way home from work, with no idea in mind about what we were going to be having for dinner. I felt like eating healthy, but lean chicken and pork was getting a bit old. As I passed the fresh fish counter, the filet [...]
