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…
Vegan Biscuits and Gravy
In the early 80’s, two life changing events happened almost simultaneously. Tom Cruise had his breakout role in Risky Business, and I spent the night with a buddy up the street. The first makes sense although some may argue Mr. Cruise’s performance in the Outsiders catapulted him to superstardom. The second is a bit more…
Quick Vegetable Curry
“So, you are walking down a dark hall and enter a dimly lit room. Over in the corner, you hear a noise. You turn and see a shadowy, menacing figure moving towards you. Could it be an Orc, a Hobgoblin, a Troglodyte, or perhaps a Werebear? What do you do?” Generally, I would draw my…
Sweet Potato Hash
Today, I want to discuss hash. Now, I am not talking about some experimental phase you had in college involving black lights, Grateful Dead music, and a long-haired, hippy- looking guy named Stan. No, that type of hash is better left in the incense-filled dorm room where you left it. And besides, that type of…
Shepard’s Pie
I must admit that I am not a big fan of left-overs. Maybe I was traumatized as a child. I mean every week, short of the netherworld experiencing unseasonably cool temperatures, we had left-overs twice a week. Mind you, “re-used lasagna night” wasn’t too bad; but, “re-used tuna casserole night”…I still cringe. Worse yet,” re-used…
Cauliflower Puttanesca
The great fountain of knowledge that is Wikipedia credits Elbert Hubbard for coining the phrase “if life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” In 1915, Hubbard actually wrote “He picked up the lemons that fate had sent him and started a lemonade stand.” Since then, many authors have used some variation of this phrase to emphasize…
Brown Rice Bakes
Unassuming and quiet, maybe a touch uncoordinated and uncool, and perhaps a bit nerdy, but possessing an underlying strength and passion making them a force to be reckoned with…no, I am not talking about the kid always picked last in dodgeball. And no, I am not talking about the little brother you used to boss…
