Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
This year some friends and I had an early Thanksgiving in Connecticut because my friends weren't able to make it home this year. Our hostess called it, "Friendsgiving," in an appropriate attempt at distinguishing the event from its usual late-month predecessor. While trying to come up with what dish to bring, my friend, Flex (of... Continue Reading →
In a previous post I stated that, "I freaking love chicken tenders." I maintain the truth of that statement. This is one of my favorite dishes that my mother makes. She just made this recipe up and it's not related to any specific culture or anything like that. What kills me is that no matter... Continue Reading →
Fried hard boiled eggs are hands down my brother's favorite holiday food. I love them too, but he can put them away with alarming speed. We've had occasions where his plate is just a pile of yolks (he only eats the egg whites) with almost no other food on it. The almost unpronounceable Egyptian name... Continue Reading →
I've smoked a pork butt twice (there's really no un-awkward way to say that) and both times it was especially difficult to get it to that "fall-off-the-bone" state.

Man Fuel: I'm thrilled to announce yet another Guest Post! This time from Marisela Navarro. She is a pharmacist, turned writer. Although, maybe she's always been a writer considering that she's been writing since she was just a little girl. You can view some of her work on her own blog simply named, "Write," where...

I've watched a lot of Hell's Kitchen on TV. That means I've watched a lot of Chef Gordon Ramsay yelling and cussing out many wannabe chefs due to their culinary failures. It also means that I've seen Beef Wellington served and prepared an absurd number of times in one setting. Aside from the fact that... Continue Reading →
