Let’s face it, I am not a hip or trendy guy. Sure, I tried to be en vogue during my formative middle and high school years, but a set of no-nonsense parents and a Catholic education kept me in uniforms and short hair most of my teenage years. No, today, I am just a middle…
Vegan Power Gravy
“The point is, ladies and gentleman, that gravy, for lack of a better word, is good. Gravy is right, gravy works. Gravy soothes, calms, and quiets the very essence of the human soul. Gravy, in all of its forms; pan gravy, au jus gravy, brown gravy, white gravy, even red-eye gravy, has marked the upward…
Chana Puri
Good morning interweb friends. I am going to be quick this morning as I don’t have a lot of time. We have a big “end of school / beginning of summer” slumber party tonight. My house will soon be over-run with young girls, and I have errands to run in preparation for tonight’s festivities. However,…
Saag Aloo
Memorial Day weekend is here. This is the official start to summer. Schools are closed. Pools are opened. Charcoal will be ignited. And while there may be no homework to finish, the pool is out of the question. I don’t have a good base tan yet, need a wax, and I am still working off…
Vegetable Marinara Sauce
Pssst. Come over here and gather round. I have a secret to pass along to you. For those of you with children, lean in extra close. For those of you without children, I’ll pass the secret on to you as well, but this one is primarily for parents with picky eaters. That’s right, get up…
Summer Succotash
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…
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…
