Welcome to 2010! A lot of exciting things are supposed to happen this year.  If Arthur C. Clarke is right, this is the year that Jupiter will turn into a sun thanks to Roy Schneider.  We’re 2 years away from the Mayan (Aztec?) apocalypse.  Yep, this is an exciting time to be alive! In all seriousness, […]

Last night’s foray into Boston cream pie got me thinking about other uses for pastry cream like, say, Banana Cream Pie  You know, I like Boston cream pie a lot, but nothing, and people I’m being serious here, nothing beats a banana cream pie when it comes to members of the cream pie family.  Plus, it’s […]

Today’s unResolution Month post was inspired by Elle from Elle’s New England Kitchen.  When asked what her favorite ooey, gooey dessert was, she told me: Boston Cream Pie Specifically, the Boston cream pie from Legal Seafood in Boston, which apparently is absolutely to die for.  Since I’ve never had it, I can’t say for sure […]

Ready for another unResolution Month-tastic (pretty sure that’s a word, I’ll look it up and get back to you) dessert?  Something like Easy Strawberry Short Cakes So, as you know, I’m not much of a baker.  It’s not that I don’t like to bake.  In fact, there is a certain niceness to it and everyone […]

Well, Fried Week is over and now it’s time for Dessert Week, seven days of ooey, gooey desserts designed to tickle the tastebuds and delight the senses.  Let’s get things started with Oreo Ice Cream Pie This dish is remarkably simple since it’s more of an assembly than actual cooking.  Everything can be store bought.  Then all […]

No, it’s not Tibetan Butter Tea, it’s Bacon Tea Yes, that’s right, I took a who-knows-how-many-thousand-year-old Tibetan recipe for butter tea, removed the butter, and replaced with bacon. Why?  Because I could. Did I like it?  Um…sure!

And now Fried Week comes to a close, but don’t worry there’s plenty more unResolution Month.  However, we’re not leaving Fried Week without a bang.  Tonight it’s time for Perfect French Fries French fries at home that are great?  Is it possible?  A few months ago, I would have said no.  Quite simply, I have never […]

Okay, I can’t stay mum on this topic.  I’ve got a platform, I’m going to use. I’m offended by the show Worst Cooks in America on Food Network.  I get that there are people who don’t know how to cook, who don’t know what a reduction is, or who can’t pick Anne Burrell out of […]

Fried food week of unResolution Month is slowly dwindling down, but somehow it just doesn’t feel complete without a shrimp dish.  Something like… Coconut Shrimp Coconut shrimp have a special place in my heart because of my Dad.  My Dad loves, loves, loves coconut shrimp.  Like Loves coconut shrimp.  And maybe you have to know […]
