I mentioned yesterday that The Youngest One brought some Hunter’s Sausage from Vermont. I made Grilled Potato Salad, and grilled cauliflower, but he loves cole slaw. He is particularly fond of the Sweet Mustard Summer Slaw, I’ve been making over the…wait for it…SUMMER! 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

Black rice, Emperor’s Rice or Forbidden rice are all the same thing. Apparently, many years ago when China was ruled by Emperors, this rice could only be eaten by him and was “forbidden” for all others. Thank goodness things have changed. Continue reading

This most enjoyable combination of flavors is not only delicious, and that it is, but it can be served as either a salad or as a warm side dish. The Goddess loves the duality of this delightfully, deliriously delicious dish. Continue reading

Good crab cakes are rich and soft, with an almost creamy texture and crispy crust. I know there are those that think crab cakes must have Ritz® Crackers crushed up in them, but I beg to differ. Panko crumbs are a more neutral flavor and will give you a much less dense, softer textured crab cake. You’ll get plenty of that rich, butter flavor when frying the cakes; make certain they are dark brown. Caramelization is “One Fine Thing”. Continue reading

Like many of us, I have some nice, smoky leftover ham from Easter dinner. As I have mentioned too many times, I love leftovers. I think it’s the possibilities, the unknown options that appeals to me most. The fact that there’s something already prepared and all I have to do is tweak it into something else, probably appeals most to me. You know, a challenge and The Goddess loves a good challenge. With that in mind, I made a post-Easter version of Pasta Carbonara with my tasty, leftover ham…I know, that wasn’t that big a reach, was it? Continue reading

Dill weed, which refers to the actual leaves, is possibly one of the most aromatic herbs we have in our culture. If you are of Scandinavian, Greek, German or European descent, then you will probably be more familiar with the lovely flavor of dill. Continue reading

Hush puppies are under-rated, in my humble opinion. We’re talking fried cornbread here folks…yeah, fried! So bring on the fried catfish, rémoulade sauce and pass me the hush puppies…laissez les bon temps rouler!! Continue reading

Since it snowed today, the first day of Spring, I decided it was still winter enough to post this. Anyway, tabbouleh sort of transcends seasons, though I think many of us think of tabbouleh as a summer salad. Its make-ahead qualities, no mayonnaise, and no real cooking involved, really do scream summer. But, why limit ourselves to this deliciousness only in the summer? This is the perfect autumnal and winter salad, too. Continue reading
