Nigella Lawson is Coming to Town
(Please note: I have made the executive decision to not begin this blog post with the lyrics to a song that is in anyway related to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” Nor will I, at any point in time, add them to this post. You can now feel safe to read on.) That’s right: Nigella […]
Online Thanksgiving Cooking Class: Thanksgiving 4-1-1 – November 19th
Thanksgiving in the pinnacle of culinary holidays. For one day, it is every American’s duty to stuff themselves silly with all the food they can eat. There’s only one small problem: making Thanksgiving cooking can be stressful! There’s so much to worry about: How can I keep the turkey moist? Do I baste? What are […]
Le Sueur Peas
Le Sueur Peas Tonight I got a reminder of how good they are. Thanks Chef Jasper. What are Le Sueur Peas? Good question. Le Sueur Peas are canned peas (gasp!) apparently canned in Le Sueur, Minnesota, but they are the sweetest, most delicate little peas in the world. They are smaller than normal peas (like […]
Will You Break My Heart Again Top Chef? – No! Also, Panna Cotta!
I am desperately hoping that tonight we will be treated to another real episode of Top Chef. Not that I disliked seeing Karla, Casey, and C.J. again, but I am ready for some real Top Chef. You hear that Bravo? Per last week, my knockout pick is still Kevin and if Robin is knocked out, […]
National Health Care
No topic has been as been as politicized as national health care reform since maybe Lewinsky-gate (and maybe not even then). It’s an issue that has caused a Senator to accuse the President of lying, has divided Republican versus Democrat, Democrat versus Democraft, doctor versus doctor, and American versus American. I should have said something earlier. […]
#MeatlessMonday Pigs in A Blanket Veggie Style
I really should be ashamed of doing this, but tonight we’re kicking it old school with Pigs in a Blanket … Veggie Style And when I say old school, I’m talking like kindergarten. You want healthy vegetarian cuisine? Not on this Meatless Monday, my friend. Not on this Meatless Monday. See, a while back I threw a big Christmas […]
Hen House Holiday Celebration Roundup
Today, I attended the Hen House Holiday Celebration, which was this great food event put on by the Hen House Markets, a fixture amongst grocery stores in the Kansas City area. I had a great time sampling various products I could then go and buy at Hen House. Among the best things I tried: Palermo’s […]
Eat Meatballs When I Pass
It was unseasonably warm for Halloween, but that was okay. I was outdoors to help bury a friend. Andy Rupf passed away at the age of 40 and there we were, standing around where his ashes were to be interred: saddened, confused, maybe a little angry, alone even in a crowd. As the preacher raised […]
Top Chef & Salt Crusted Fish
Yes, that’s right it’s Wednesday and that means it’s another Top Chef night. (Can I get a hallelujah?) My knockout pool pick tonight is Kevin. After that I only have those Voltaggios brothers. However, after this week at least one guy is going to get knocked out of the pool completely and if Robin goes […]
