Actually, I should have said egg as I used only one in this preparation. I also had a friend who bet me I couldn’t find a way to use the word ubiquitous in a blog. But, overall this is the kind of home cooked breakfast many of us guys drool and slobber just thinking about. I … Continue reading
Crockpots, or slow cookers, as they are also known have always been a ying-yang kind of affair with me. They cook some recipes well, while destroying others. Over the years I’ve learned that other forms of cooking all have their purposes for being. Whether it’s a hot oven, indirect heat or searing flame; each works … Continue reading
I have to say that for ease of preparation, health and taste…nothing comes closer than a good old Tuna Salad Sandwich! The ingredients are simple: the tuna, some mayo, a small stalk of celery and sweet pickle relish. Just mix’em together, make a layer of the salad on one piece of bread, cover with a … Continue reading
Even though pork chops are now getting expensive (so, what isn’t<?>). I made up this recipe to see if it would live up to the good reviews it had received. The only change I made from the original was to braise the chops on a hot grill outside. I like seeing the marks left on … Continue reading
Every year, about this time, I always seem to have a few small Banana peppers and maybe one or two ripe and misshapen bell peppers left on the vine. This usually occurs at a time when my fridge is full of peppers that I harvested earlier on. So, what do with the extras? Hey! How … Continue reading
As a younger man, I made this sandwich fairly often. It was a fast and cheap meal that took no time to make. In more recent times, I have tended to steer away enjoying tuna due to dolphins getting caught in the nets and to the presence of mercury as reported by the media. Note: … Continue reading
A recent visit to the local grocery store in my town of Forsyth, Missouri convinced me more than ever that many of us should consider planting a small garden. Lettuce was well over a dollar a head, celery was pushing two dollars and you don’t even want to here about the cost of bell peppers! … Continue reading
Food poisoning happens to more people than you might think. It is a common, usually mild, but sometimes deadly illness. Typical symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea that occur suddenly (within 48 hours) after consuming a contaminated food or drink. Depending on the contaminant, fever and chills, bloody stools, dehydration, and nervous system … Continue reading
One afternoon while I was looking through some old books I had stored in the basement, I came across a real gem from my distant past. It was a book called Alice’s Restaurant Cookbook and contained a collection of recipes that Alice May Brock used in her Brooklyn New York establishment made famous by Arlo … Continue reading
This morning while perusing the fridge in search of something to eat, I spied some chicken and rice that was in a Tupperware container. Problem was, how long had it been in there? I couldn’t remember. But, I thought, I’ll just make sure to ‘nuke’ it really well in the old microwave. That should kill … Continue reading
