I can't believe my blog has gone on this long without mention of keftedes. It's just unacceptable! Keftedes are the ever-so-famous Greek meatballs that often grace the typical Greek's table at any hour of day. They can be appetizers, sides, snacks, or a main dish. A bigger version of a kefteda is...
Went to the local 4-H Fair this evening. *** WARNING: After having read thru what I've written here, I felt I should warn you that despite the title and the opening sentence, this post has all KINDS of content that will upset a vegetarian or romanticizer of wildlife. Consider this "Full Disclosure"...

I'm traveling for work this week, so this will be the last post for a bit. (I know, I've been slacking this summer on posting, so you've come to expect a few days between posts. Thought I'd warn you anyway). When I leave for a trip (FYI-never anywhere exciting), I always try to make a few different...
My sister and I put together an anniversary dinner for our folks here in Portland. Syd made the pasta, which she is exceedingly good at (especially the rolling and cutting in the hand-cranked Atlas). First course: Pasta with fresh morels, smoked sweet corn and shallots. Maybe the best dish of the...
Come and visit Guormet Foods at http://www.boomersneed.com/gourmetfoods.html These great chops are cut from the whole lamb loin. To one side of the bone is the tender or filet, and on the other side is the strip. This provides a wonderful combination of taste and texture.The chops are cut from the...
Do you think it's a wise thing to be ticking off Dirty Harry? Maybe Spike Lee is feeling lucky. He does have a point though. I'm not sayin'. I'm just sayin'.
Dope LL reference!
A La Carrera: Beef quesadilla
I've wanted to hold out for Hubbs to come home before giving in to my craving of my grilled London Broil because it's definitely not a dish for one.. but I'm hearing yet another two weeks before the job will be done UGH! So I gave in to temptation this weekend. The London Broil is a cheaper cut of...
The last recipe I tried from my new Cooking Light's Annual Recipes 2006 cookbook was Steak Diane. I'd heard of this sauce before but have never tried, so I'm not sure if Cooking Light's version holds a candle to the real thing or not.. but we found it to be wonderful. It added just the right zing to...
I hit the dinner lottery last night.. my Mom called me at work to tell me that she had made a batch of cabbage rolls and she'd like me or Hubbs to stop by and pick some up. Hooray! I got a break from cooking, which meant I could spend some quality time out on the swing by the pond - something I was...
Hi! Well I feel awful. I'm not going to make this post about my problems.. but, I'm so disappointed in what I'm about to bring to the table. You see, I was asked by the very talented and oh, so lovely, Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and The Sensual Gourmet to participate in celebrating...
The Kitchen of Love in this household is open 24/7.. 99% of the time the foods both myself and Hubbs prepare are foods that the other loves, and we're thinking about each other when we cook. True story. (awwwwwww) I keep him pretty informed of the goings on in my blogging life, because he likes to...
And not so much for your cooking - although it looks scrumptious. No, I love you for being one of the many celebrity chefs that put out their own line of cast iron cookware. Yours is affordable, well made and the colors in your line are perfect for my kitchen! So, thank you Mario Batali! Thank you...
You'd think after all that food at the Festa that I wouldn't need to cook (or eat!) again for days.. but alas, Hubbs thought differently. ;) After trying and loving my first stuffed flank steak back when he was still working in Arkansas, I really couldn't wait to try it again. To my delight, I saw a...
My fiance, Wayne, is out of town on a job for work. He's been gone for 4 weeks now and still has another 4 to 6 weeks (if not longer) to go.. so it's just me and "the kids". I miss him tremendously, but the good news is, he's coming home for a long weekend in 10 days.. I'm so excited!! While he's...
He's FINALLY on his way home! Yay! Hubbs left Arkansas yesterday and by 10:30 last night he was just passing Memphis. So today ends my 3 month bachelorette party. teeee! Well considering bachelorette parties consist of lots of alcohol and male strippers, I guess mine failed miserably. Maybe I should...
Maybe it's because I was starrrffffink last night.. maybe it's because I see potential in this recipe.. I dunno. But I'm going to post about it instead of tossing the recipe in the garbage like I did with the actual dish. Ugh. At our clam bake last year, a nice gal brought something she called...
