When the weather cools…okay becomes damn cold, there’s nothing quite like a bowl of soup or chowder. This is a simple combination of leeks, salmon, fennel and three kinds of potatoes. Chowder, without heaps of freshly ground black pepper, just doesn’t cut it on The Goddess’s table…. Continue reading

This is a nice alternative to tartar sauce. It’s wonderful served on the side of a grilled salmon filet….mmmmm! I usually serve this with Calamari Frita or Fried Calamari Rings. It is also excellent as a marinade for chicken. Continue reading

If there’s calamari on the menu, The Goddess will be ordering some. Calamari, when well prepared, is a feast to behold. Crispy on the outside, a slight sweetness and meltingly tender on the inside. Delicious. Continue reading

The weather outside is frightful! Chili is just this thing to take a bite out of the cold. I know we’ve explored Chili with all the Good Stuff! in the past. Though similar, this version is much closer to the chili my mother made, out there on the Prairie. I make us sound like the Wilder’s from “Little House on the Prairie”, don’t I? However, I don’t recall that they made chili! Continue reading

I was going to call this Autumn Hummus, but really, what does that tell you? Nada! The pumpkin and roasted peppers are there, but they are subtle. Not front flavors at all. And it’s very festive-looking. Continue reading

I won’t even pretend this is a Liptauer-like cheese spread. Because, it isn’t that. I think we can assume its roots live there, but it matters not. It’s truly delightful schmeared on a bagel. Continue reading

Everyone should know how and feel comfortable making Prime Rib…It is Perfection! The process for this “perfection”, is what’s referred to as a “reverse sear”. It produces an incredibly delicious slab of meat. We’re talking salivatingly delicious. Continue reading

We’ve already talked about the spectacularly delicious tea, Lapsang Souchong Oolong. It’s smoky and makes an interesting cup of tea. But, I like to use the tea for cooking. It is just the perfect addition to this simple dry rub for meat. You can use it on other things, but it positively sings on beef…we’re talking a full-fledged aria. Continue reading

These are rich, buttery, crunchy, caramel-y and addictive. No one, and I mean no one, can eat just one of these. Bitcoin Bits are candy, but they are cookie-like, too. It doesn’t matter, because they are addictive, but in a very, very good way. Continue reading

‘Tis the time of year, and as you know, The Goddess loves her cranberry sauce. She loves homemade cranberry sauce. She loves the stuff in the cans, too. She’s been pining for cranberry sauce for months, so she began by making a double batch. Hey, cranberries are only around for a short time, but cranberry sauce can be forever! Well, almost….
