Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
A couple of months ago, I attended a wedding in Brooklyn, New York. Coincidentally, this was the same weekend that hurricane Sandy hit the east coast, but we managed to leave NY before it got really bad. That little nugget of information is only tangentially related and didn't really affect my stay, but I do... Continue Reading →
After looking around at many of the great cocktail and mixology sites online, I started to get a little self-conscious about posting my own drink recipes. When I decided to make this drink, I didn't want to just re-hash seasonal Apple Cider cocktails. Instead, I wanted to try something original. I have no idea if... Continue Reading →
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 →

Traditionally, stuffing (or "dressing" depending on where you're from) went inside of poultry and cooked along with the bird. I'm not sure when stuffing left the bird and ended up as its own dish, but I'm so glad it did (besides, the USDA recommends against stuffing a turkey for food safety reasons!). Ever since watching...

Thanksgiving is one of those great American holidays that no matter what religion or non-religion you are, we can all celebrate it. It's a time to give thanks for all we have and for those we have in our lives to share it with. Every year since I was about 6 years old, my immediate... Continue Reading →
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 →
