When I was in middle school, I went to dances on Friday nights. The boys and girls, from the surrounding Catholic schools, gathered in a gym/cafeteria to bust our finest moves. Providing you left enough room for the Holy Spirit, you were free to dance with anyone you wanted. However, like most guys, I remained…
Buddha Bowl
I am busy folks. It is that time of year again. I am sitting in front of my computer trying to figure out what to buy the wife for Christmas. And while the interwebs offer a veritable cornucopia of items to purchase with free two-day shipping, I honestly don’t think she will like the faux…
Butternut Squash Risotto
In the past, I have written about my aversion to left-overs. Too many leftovers as I kid I suspect; however, as I mentioned in a previous post about Shepard’s Pie, all you really need to do is re-purpose what you have on hand and see a good therapist. But this time of year with all…
Crock Pot Chili
Let’s imagine you are a rebel soldier on the ice planet Hoth deployed along the front line. Your commander has just ordered you to help slow down the imperial AT-AT walkers long enough for General Rieekan and Princess Leia to fire their Ion Cannon. Armed with nothing more than a puny laser rifle, you are…
Vegetable Paella
After a long day, most of us don’t have time to “let Calgon take us away.” Even if you wanted to “lose your cares” in its luxuriousness, there isn’t a spare moment to soak in fragrant hot water. There is still a myriad of things to do: help with homework, fold the laundry, take out…
Asian Pesto
So last week the crystal blue pool waters were calling my name. This week something much more important beckons me and will again truncate my normal witty banter. You see I have to get ready for the US Women’s World Cup game against China this evening. Preparations will include red/white/blue full body paint. Now, my…
Basil Oil
A Poolside Note – Today’s post will be brief like the recipe I am about to present. I could give you some long winded explanation, but it just isn’t in my nature to lie. Don’t believe me? Just ask my wife. No, I am sitting here beside our community pool. My kids are splashing around…
Tomato Tartare
The 1987 film Wall Street delves into greed, corruption, and the depravity sometimes found in corporate America. The story involves a young stockbroker willing to do anything to get ahead and have a taste of the good life. In one poignant scene, this taste of the good life can be boiled down to one single…
All Kale Caesar…
ALL KALE CAESAR!!! “Compadres, Readers, Subscribers, lend me your ears; I come to give you a salad, not just any salad. The evil in the original lies in the dressing; the good is oft found in the greens; So let it be with my new version of thee. The noble chefs of yore hath told…
Crispy Roasted Potatoes
The Incans discovered them thousands of years ago growing wild in the South American mountains and began cultivating them shortly thereafter. The Spanish Conquistadors brought them to Europe and began feeding them to livestock. The French and Irish finally decided that they were fit for human consumption and they began to spread across Europe. The…
