My work has an annual chili contest, this is the 2nd year I’ve submitted a chili. In the past years, judges always complained the chilis are too hot. So this year I tried to tone it down a little with only 2 habaneros and 4 fresnos. Chili is hard to judge – ours was judged [...]
Ok the salmon wasn’t terribly hard to find, but fennel was. I’ve struck out at super target, the asian grocery stores, and uh, ok I only looked at two stores. I’m pretty lazy ok? I found some fennel bulbs at Kowalski’s down the street, imagine that, my local neighborhood grocery store had what I was [...]
Do you have:
A package of Ramen? (Or noodles and stock)
Tomatoes?
Bacon?
Eggs?
Frozen Peas?
If you have 3 or more of the above, you can make this kicked up ramen. I make this one, all the time, because I usually have all these ingredients in my kitchen. This looks pretty delicious right, you’re probably wondering, why would you throw [...]
What do you do when you have too much tomatoes and basil left over from your pizza? You make a caprese salad! I apologize for the lack of bacon in this dish. I’m sure you can sprinkle some on top… now why didn’t I think of that when I made this.

What happens when it snows 400 feet outside, you are too lazy to shovel your car out and go to the grocery store, and there’s nothing edible left in the fridge? You turn to your freezer. Luckily, there is GOLD in my freezer. Sean’s mom bought us a bunch of fillet mignons and lobster tails [...]
Hello! I suck at blogging, but hey here’s a new post! So… I started using this app foursquare on my iPhone lately and it’s really cool you see, it posts your location, when you go places, you check in, and you broadcast where you are, so stalkers can stalk you, but you get to be [...]
I love my ramen noodle! It doesn’t get any easier than just throwing a bunch of stuff in a pot and add some noodles. Here is what I did for this bowl, and I’ll share my deep dark secret with you on how I flavor the broth.

Ohh look at him, a real shrimp that’s not processed, SO SCARY!!! No my friend, do not be scared of this delicious sea-bug. I will show you how to clean and devein Chuck here (yes I named him Chuck). Why would you even buy an unprocessed shrimp as opposed to the nicely packaged shrimp in [...]
Yay my food and wine magazine is here! To celebrate, I made a recipe from it. I went to SUPER FOODS and Dragon Star in frogtown last weekend and got about a dozen littleneck clams. Except I think they were labelled wrong, and they should have been called bigneck clams, because they were huge. Way [...]
Sean liked this dish so much that he put it on the “lets make it again” list. Maybe he will read this and copy down/memorize the recipe so he can make it and I can sip wine and put my feet up! This dish is for 2 servings, and it seemed like a fairly small [...]
