Feeling A Bit Crabby?

I don’t know about you but I LOVE crab! I mean, let’s face it – it is poor man’s lobster. You can boil it, broil it, fry it, quiche it, sautee it, barbecue it, and even roast it. You can make crab cakes, fettucini, cocktails, seafood salad, crab chowder, crab quiche, crab bites and even…

Food! Glorious Food!

When is the last time you had to carve soup with a knife? Sometimes, you make the best tasting concoctions purely by accident. Seriously, I have known culinary masterpieces to come out of nowhere. Dinner last Thursday is an example. My husband is a fantastic baker, a truly amazing baker, but he is not known…

Is This Supposed to Crunch?

Okay, I admit it. Every cook has one. A dark culinary secret that they hide away to keep people from laughing at them. Some cooks buy frosting. Some served canned soup. Others, well… me,…oh… well, I sometimes use a box mix when making something that is not normally on my agenda. Usually, dinner turns out…

The Buffet In Hell: Halloween Edition

Tonight is Halloween and it is time for another edition of The Buffet In Hell! What additional food item will be enjoyed this night by Adolf Hitler and his fellow losers in Hell? Is it Spam? Nasty but no. Maybe tripe? Gross but it can be made edible. Pho, anyone? Corn smut? While its native…

Do You Really Know What You Are Eating?

Or should I say “Do You Really WANT To Know What You Are Eating?” I hate surprises. I really hate surprises. I really, REALLY hate surprises! Culinary ones, that is. For example, I get cold chills when someone mentions a secret ingredient. Chicken gizzards hiding in that soup? Yup. Vinegar in that cherry pie? Yuuup….

Costco Ruined My New Year’s Resolution

Most people resolve to lose weight or to exercise more each New Year’s. Not Me. My New Year’s Resolution: Go to Costco and actually come home with ONLY the item I went there to get. Un-huhn… My resolution lasted exactly twenty-nine days… Here is how it happened. When I woke us this morning, there was…

Rocky Mountain WHAT?!?

Anthony Bourdain I ain’t. Seriously. I do not eat weird food just to eat weird food like he does. For example, I saw him  on TV eating deep-fried locusts… The guy ate BUGS! and he liked them! I have a moth fly accidentally into my mouth and I am coughing and barfing for 45 minutes…

Fishheads! Fishheads! Roly Poly Fishheads!

So! I decided to enter a cooking competition! And not just any cooking competition but the highest falutin one I knew – The Kingdom Arts and Sciences competition! So there! Phhbbpphhblllt! And I was gonna do it right. I was going to make garum! From Scratch! What is garum you ask? Are you some sort…

Sex and Food Just Don’t Mix

Sex and food can be an amazing combination. I mean, truly. There is nothing quite like sharing a piece of cake with your partner after a few hours of bliss. Ahhhhh. Then, there is my friend, Mark. Mark had everything. Handsome lover. Great job. Incredible condo on the beach. Amazing body. I was so damn…

Slip, Slidin’, Awayyyyyyyyyyy!

Catfish has never been my favorite food. I don’t know whether it is the texture or the greasy smell that you get when making it most of the time. And, let’s face it – it has to be deep fried or it never even approaches edible. Someone even tried to give me catfish sushi one…
