Great Danes and Wasabi do not mix

I love sushi. I mean, I REALLY love sushi! There is nothing better when you have a craving than a Dragon Roll dipped in some quality soy mixed with fresh wasabi. And my favorite has to be the shrimp rolls My favorite place to go is probably Watami. They are kind of run of the…

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…

BACON! BACON! BACON!

With the pandemic and social distancing still on, shopping has been anything but easy. For instance, I have NEVER ever seen the meat case at Costco completely empty before. I am not talking less variety than normal. I mean completely empty of all fresh meat… No ground beef. No fresh chicken. No pork roast. Nada….

Recipe for the Apocalypse

Those of you who know me know that when I cook, I cook a lot. Not just a lot. A LOT! Being a former caterer and a Master Cook in the SCA, it is sort of expected. The standing joke is that I have enough food in my fridge to feed an entire Boy Scout…

The Golden Hoard

Pande-fricking-monium! There I said it! That is what it has been like trying to shop this week after the panic caused by governmental incompetence.

What The Tur-F*@kin? aka The Buffet In Hell: Pringles Edition

I know a lot of you saw the ads online. I know because half of you all seemed to have copied the links to Facebook and clogged my feed for a good 24 hours. “Pringles Announces New Turducken Flavored Pringles!” What the hell? They can’t be serious…but they were! Billed as a way of avoiding…

Tales From An Old Ford

Some memories never fade. They just crystallize and sparkle in our memories. I love music. And I grew up on a farm. Put those together and what do you get? Yup. My favorite memories of all time consist of me and my Dad driving around in that old Ford pickup of his at 80 miles…

The Revenge of Floyd the Pig!

Enough already! Yes, I know there is more to the story of Floyd the Pig but I was trying to be CLEAN! OKAY?!? Yes, I know some of you have heard more of the story but I was trying to be good. Ooooooookay! Here it is. “The Revenge of Floyd the Pig” The dinner had…

What The Hell Is In This?

All cooks do it whether they admit it or not. You hate to throw out food. I know I do. Any time my husband opens the refrigerator and starts complaining about how full it is, I simply hold my breath, refuse to answer and hope he moves along as quickly as possible to the next…
