I’ve had Banh Mi on my mind recently. At this point, venturing out for a Banh Mi, is foolishly indulgent, no matter how good it is. And these are good! Solution? Make some for the The Latin Lover and me. To that end, a meatloaf seemed like the place to start. This is that meatloaf. Continue reading

This is an excellent Instant-Pot recipe. Brown it and cook it all in the same pot. To quote Ina Garten, “How easy is that?” And, it’s just so damn delicious, too! Continue reading

We traveled North for the holidays. it’s a bit chillier there than in the Carolinas, but decidedly more Christmas-y. This soup/chowder came about through the wonderful duo, Dave and Terri!

Celery, cucumbers, frozen peas, Greek-style yogurt, imitation crab meat, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemongrass, Miracle Whip, red onion, Thai basil
This is a summer salad if there ever was one.

broth, butter, Garlic, lemon juice, lemongrass, Mushrooms, oil, Onions, Spices, turbot filet, white wine
This is a wonderful dish. The onions are just slightly charred, a tad burned, if you will. Turbot is a wonderful fish. It’s just slightly meaty and a bit on the sweet side. It lends itself well to sauces, and this lemongrass-laced sauce is perfect with it. Continue reading

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 condiment, Sambal Mahtah, is spectacularly delicious. It’s spicy, sweet, a little hot and just slightly crunchy. This came to my attention via Trader Joe’s™. They sell some amazingly delicious products, but they discontinued their Sambal Mahtah. Well, what’s a girl to do? She needs to come up with her own version. Continue reading

I found a nice Asian market here in South Florida. I love Asian markets with their offal, their weird and wonderful fish and shellfish and their greens. I love their greens. I was thrilled to discover Chrysanthemum leaves or Tong Ho. Continue reading

Americans so often use ground beef or hamburger when we do burgers, but pork is a wonderful option. You know how The Goddess likes pork. So today she was feeling something Thai and fast. So she fired up the grill, seasoned some ground pork and the Thai Burger was dinner! Continue reading
