Diced green chilis, sliced black olives, minced garlic, and sharp cheddar cheese packed inside the burger patty. I've heard it called an Inside-Out Burger. To assemble, divide each portion of hamburger into a larger piece (5/8) and smaller pie...

Spectrum

Yesterday for lunch, the kids and I shared a Brie cheese wheel, sliced up on crackers, accompanied by apple slices. Their milk, in crystal goblets. Very continental. Today, we had fried chicken. Their milk cuppies snug in their NASCAR cozies.

The days of wine and chipped beef

2007-12-13T21:18:36Z

Today was soundtracked for me by Mark Lanegan's "Whiskey for the Holy Ghost". The wife gets back in from a D.C. business trip in a few hours. One hour after that, the sitter will be here and we'll be off to a wine group Meetup. In addition to v...

Fire Fish - Tilapia gets a Groove

2007-12-10T20:38:29Z

Last night I got down with Tilapia fillets. The wife was headed out of town for a few days, so I wanted a good send-off dinner. First step, thaw frozen Tilapia (purchased in a bulk bag but in individual packets.) Preheat oven to 425 F. Dredge ...

food & friends (pickled and otherwise)

Thanksgiving this year was a country smoked ham. Soaked that bad pig in water for two days, changing it out every 6 hours or so, before oven roasting. Fantastic flavor but we could have done better with presentation had we obtained a mandolin sl...

What am I keeping you from?

2007-11-12T01:13:30Z

Did a bit of shopping with the wife and kids. Staples for us. Diapers, wipes, Drano, frozen pizza, tacos, block cheese, and soft baked pretzels. Since we have the two kids, it's just easier to have two carts to wheel them around in. At checkou...

Named Sandwich Nomination

2007-04-25T22:24:47Z

I propose a new named sandwich. The "Neutered Groove" Apologies if this list of arranged ingredients already exists under another sandwich moniker. It's not that I will desist, mind you. I just want to be clear that it has now been dispossesse...

Sneaky Cheesiness with a crust

2007-04-11T23:40:59Z

First the recipe, then the back-story. Begin with boxed mac and cheese. Prepare according to the directions on the box. Don't worry that's just the shortcut, the magic in the recipe happens next, although it is equally sneaky/lazy. Once the mi...
