The Teriyaki BurgerI love and adore The Spicy Honey and The Progeny.  From a culinary standpoint…I love and adore burgers.  All of them.  Every iteration I’ve ever eaten.  This one is a favorite.  It’s good rain or shine, winter or summer, for dinner or breakfast.  Continue reading →

Sichuan Cucumber SaladThis is a nice little salad to have in your repertoire.  It is the perfect summer salad, but joy of joys, since good cucumbers, a.k.a. English cucumbers are available year round, it’s a non-seasonal salad or side.  It packs a nice kick of heat and garlic…Vampires beware!  Continue reading →

079Gazpacho is the perfect summer soup.  In Andalusia, it’s smooth, unctuous and creamy.  The Goddess loves that version.  She could bathe in that version.  But, she’s also just a tad unconventional, so she also really likes a slightly chunkier version with bits of crunchy vegetables, too.  That’s what this is!  Continue reading →

citrus, cucumber, Mint, water

Fire in the Pan!It’s hot out today and it will be hot tomorrow.  It’s summer, what can I say?  When it’s hot there is nothing better than a cold beer, right?  It’s icy cold; the bottle is icy cold; it’s exactly what The Goddess always thinks is THE perfect thing to cool her down.  Then, about 10 minutes after she’s downed it, the furnace kicks in.  And she’s wanting to book a one-way ticket to take a dip naked in the polar ice cap!  Continue reading →

006Summer rolls are an absolute favorite of The Goddess and her peeps.  They are the perfect summer dinner on a scorching hot day, but really I can eat these any day, any time, any season.  The most difficult part is rolling them, and after about 2 or 3, you get the hang of it pretty quickly.  They are fast to prepare, can be made ahead, and are delicious.  The kind of thing you can whip up (or roll up) after work, in a flash.  Continue reading →
