Tomatilla!

OK, I’m not giving you the recipe for this one. But fortunately someone else is. Renee over at Shiokadelicious! promised to give my oven fried chicken recipe a try but with panko instead of breadcrumbs. The original is really good, but I also liked her wonderful twist, so go give it a try!

Not much to say here – just go visit the IMBB 7 roundup and check out 40 plus kinds of dumpling from appetizer to dessert.

Well, since I made my IMBB entry, the sage, parmesan gnocchi with brown butter, crisp sage leaves and chili flakes at midnight last night, I only ate three of them (OK, four, maybe five at the most) at the time and saved the rest for he next day and tried them out on Jan simply [...]

Just a quickie – I am steadily (but slowly) adding to the list of food blogs I like on the left. I actually have a carefully selected list of about sixty five in my favorites folder but it takes time to pop them in here. So expect to see the list grow and grow over [...]

This may be the best dish I have ever come up with. I have been thinking about this for a couple of weeks and had come up with about five alternatives. At first I was going to make them all, but reality and the about:blank spyware attack software crept up on me and swallowed my [...]

On the positive side, I got rid of the f#$@^& thing.

Sorry that I have been harping on about burgers for some time. I do actually cook, eat and write about other things, but I haven’t had time lately. I’m simultaneously doing a bunch of contract work for a local software company, looking hard for a full time job and trying to launch my fledgling publishing [...]

I was idly doing some work today when I heard the news that Julia Child had passed away.

This is a sad day, but also a glad one. She, more than anyone else, made real food, especially French food, something that anyone could and should cook. She was smart, vital and lived a great life.

It is [...]

More for my international readers – friends and family – but for the rest of you as well. Check out Skype. It’s from the people who brought out Kazaa and it’s an amazing application. But only if you have a broadband internet connection and only because they just added the ability to call any phone [...]

OK, so I have not actually written anything directly about food in a little while. See that little subhead/disclaimer/description up at the top of the page under the title? I never said it was ALL about the food…

But here is a little of what I have been making – no real recipes yet – none [...]
