Posole
I am now a bonafide Pozolero (one who is very fond of posole). This is my first (successful) posole dish. From Wiki:
Posole is a traditional pre-Colombian soup or stew made from hominy, with pork (or other meat), chile, and other seasonings and garnish,… more »
Pink Peppercorn Crusted Kurobuta Pork Roast with Blood Orange Sauce
This was the last of the Lobels purchase. I think I'm going to cry. No, I am going to buy some more. I have my pennies accumulating as I write and one day, one day soon, I will have another one of those goodies coolers delivered.
This dish was created… more »
Spatchcocked Chicken - But Please Don't Tell Ma!
I took the leftovers from this dish to work for my lunch and my boss who had just purchased Popeye's chicken asked me, "watcha got there?" Believe it or not, I get that question a few times a week. So I asked him, "have you ever spatchcocked a chicken?"… more »
Velvety Red Velvet Cake
It's really been a hectic week. Well...sort of. I was under a deadline at work and I was venturing into an area of coding where I had not previously been. So there were a few bumps in the road. I managed to put the task to bed and I even had a little ner… more »
The Just Okay Valentine's Day Outing
I am a bit of a romantic. Not much, but just enough. I buy Beck flowers just-because rather then out of guilt, and on certain occasions I take her out to a nice restaurant for a nice dinner. I try to put my foot into every meal that I make at home, but o… more »
Brussel Sprouts with Pistachios
Those who were made to eat the nasty, bitter orbs that are brussel sprouts when a child know to stay very far away from these nasty things. Now I'll eat cabbage, but these sprouts never, ever tasted like cabbage to me. They were more like a bitter plant… more »
Easy Cheesy Potato Soup with Sausage
It's winter and from time to time, well, it's cold here in Atlanta. This past weekend, we actually hit the teens. I'll be honest, it very rarely gets cold here, relatively speaking, to me. The winters in Atlanta are like two good weeks in total of actual… more »
Super Bowl Sunday!
Tomorrow is the day. Are you a Patriots fan? Are you a New York Football Giants fan? Nevertheless, tomorrow IS the day. Me-myself-personally, am/are an Eagles fan, HARDCORE, so there is no dog in this fight for me.
My wife, Becky, however, is a die-… more »
No Really, "Prime" Prime Rib: The Lobels Experiment Continues
And yet...another episode in the Lobels experiment. I cannot express to you enough how much this investment tasted. I guess I really was anticipating a high ROI (return on investment for you cooks out there) with such a large outflow of dollars for meat… more »
7 Things About Me
Yikes!
Now, I've been apart of those chain letters that I simply delete and manage to get pissed about because they don't get caught by my spaminator, because they are sent to me from my unsuspecting family and friends, but this is something complete… more »
Whole Grain Pancakes with Wild Blueberry-Maple Syrup
There they were. Right there on the front cover of Bon Appetit. Whole grain pancakes with wild blueberry syrup. Becky and I always make it a team effort when it comes to making pancakes on weekend mornings. I have always, well for as long as she has know… more »
The Foodie Blogroll
So I'm out in the blogsphere, you know just minding my own business perusing blog after blog admiring recipes, when I come across the Foodie Blogroll on The Left Over Queen's blog. So I looked it over, clicked a few of the links, and low and behold, I fo… more »
