This pan seared sea scallop and orzo risotto is easy to make, deliciously filling, and looks beautiful on the plate. The light flavor of the scallops goes really well with the broth flavored orzo and the lemon adds a zesty twist that binds the ingredients together. It's a bit of a misnomer for me to...

Ok, so before I get into this dish, I will just go ahead and admit that it's a weird one. I'm not sure why I came up with it, but the idea intrigued me. I had some extra frozen scallops and shrimp that I needed to use, so I decided to try a new idea... Continue Reading →
Classic, no frills, pumpkin pie. I'm finally getting around to putting this recipe up and even though I made my own pie with absolutely no technical finesse (it's these big clunky man hands), that doesn't mean you can't do something pretty with this simple recipe. As far as the taste goes, I was extremely pleased... Continue Reading →
Apparently, I've been nominated by foodisthebestshitever for a community Sunshine Blog Award. In order to accept the award, you kind of have to perpetuate a chain letter on the blog community by: Thanking the person that nominated you; Answering a bunch of questions (they seem to be different sometimes); and Nominating ten more blogs for...

Just in case you don't read this very detailed review, let me sum it up by saying that Gracie's is [was] the best restaurant in Providence. I don't want to hear about Atwells Ave. or Federal Hill. Gracie's is [was] the reigning champ as far as I'm concerned. I know thems are fightin' words, but I'm not... Continue Reading →
Back in high school, a Vietnamese friend introduced me to a Colombian restaurant in Central Falls, RI where he grew up called, El Paisa (the irony here is that I have a Colombian friend from Central Falls as well, but he didn't bring up the restaurant). This quickly became one of our favorite places to... Continue Reading →
This was my third visit to Nick's on Broadway for Breakfast. Two of those times occurred before the expansion of the restaurant to include the bar and new entrance. They also apparently serve dinner now as well, which I hear is very good. All I remembered from my first two visits were that both times,... Continue Reading →
