The Spicy Honey loves Jamaican patties. They’re spicy (like him!) and just a quick, full-flavored bite, that’s perfect for lunch or a snack or dinner or breakfast. In other words, good any time, any place. Continue reading

This is a marriage made in heaven! Inspiration is a funny thing…it can come out of nowhere. It can be overheard. It can sneak up on you. Or is can simply be the unfolding of something unexplained…that’s sort what happened here. Continue reading

Sloppy Joe’s are one of those wonderful memories we have from childhood. I love them. I still do. I like mine on potato rolls, with slices of raw onion, dill pickle slices and potato chips on the side. MMM…what a wonderful memory! Continue reading

The Spicy Honey loves, loves, loves Bolognese sauce. And admittedly, I’ve never been particularly happy with my previous attempts. They were just ho-hum. This one…I’m very happy with, and I think you might be, too! Continue reading

I was reading The Wok of Life blog yesterday. Those gals (I think they’re women) have some unbelievable taste buds. They made this, but of course, The Goddess changed a few things around. Okay, she changed a lot. Either way, you’re gonna’ love this. Continue reading

Every Cuban woman (or man, I suppose) knows how to make Picadillo. It’s quick and delicious, but it’s never as good as “mami makes”! Some things transcend cultures, don’t they? I learned how to make this from my mother-in-law and from The Latin Lover’s great-aunt, both damn fine cooks. It’s a very valuable recipe to have. Continue reading

You may remember, in the past…yes, The Goddess is a deity with a past! Everyone has a past, and goddess-willing, it’s interesting and rich with memories. Anyway, there were a couple of posts for Boliche and Boliche, Deconstructed, as well as picadillo. This is simply boliche in meatloaf form. An experiment going deliciously well! Continue reading

Sloppy Joe’s were always my birthday request when I was but a wee one. I still love them. My mother made hers with tomato soup, but I tend not to use canned soups…I think it might just be a bit of snobbery on my part, because there really was a reason I asked for them every year. They were sublimely delicious! Continue reading

This came together in no time at all. I was hungry for pizza. Really, more the flavor of pizza. Does that happen to you? Do you get hungry for certain flavors, too? Anyway, that what this was born of…the hunger for a flavor! Continue reading

The Goddess was thinking about pizza for dinner or maybe a burger, but it was raining most convincingly. We’re talking monsoon, get-out-the-hip-waders! This was ark-building-type of downpour!…and this is the dry season in Florida…thank Goddess there’s no global warming…or the weather might be totally crazy! But, I digress. Continue reading
