This tastes like feet!
I’m sure that prison food probably ranks below high school food in quality. I don’t remember ever finding any maggots in my high school meals; but then, even if I had, there was no James Whitmore sitting nearby waiting to … Continue reading
On the passing of a Magazine
I never read Gourmet. Never. Not really sure why; I didn’t have any particular reason for not reading it other than my interests in food don’t go to, well, the “gourmet”. I love food and I love to cook, but … Continue reading
On Champagne
One of my Facebook friends posted this morning that she’s on her way for some wine and sushi. Noting the amusing timing of said posting — eight in the morning on a Sunday — I was reminded of this, one … Continue reading
Thanks to the Earl (of Sandwich)
I’m not sure where I got the idea from — I’m pretty sure that it’s not my own — but a thought for a potentially yummy sandwich popped into my head the other evening. I tried it out today for … Continue reading

You DONKEY!!!
Oddly, thus far into this season of Hell’s Kitchen — four episodes that I’ve watched thus far, with one more waiting to be seen — Chef Ramsay has yet to call anyone by my favorite term of endearment, “You [bleep] … Continue reading
A poultraic formula
I haven’t shared this in a couple of years, and I know (or I hope!) that I have new readers since then, so here’s an incredibly easy way to make wonderfully delicious chicken: marinate your chicken pieces (or the entire … Continue reading
It’s POP, darn it!
Lynn links this tribute to carbonated beverages of yesteryear. I’ve actually had a lot of these, and most of the ones I had tasted like crap. But Slice was good stuff, and Apple Slice was fabulous. Pepsi Clear was pretty … Continue reading
