Computer issues

by Jerry 1 comment February 24, 2007 Personal Ramblings

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few days everyone. My computer seems to have contracted a rare disease called “OSfailureitis.” I’m waiting for the local best buy to open this morning so that I can go get a brand spanky new Windows XP disk and repair the damage once and for all. [...]

5 things you didn

O.K. I wasn’t “officially” tagged with this meme, but Lisa over at The Homesick Texan basically tagged the entire food-blogosphere with it, and I thought I’d go ahead and dive in. So without hesitation or further ado, here are 5 things you probably didn’t know about me. Until now, that is.

White gravy is a staple of Southern cooking. In the South and Southwest we use it to top everything from biscuits to French-Fries. Every family has its own unique method of making Gravy, and most families will tell you theirs is the best gravy ever made. (They’re all right, by the way. It’s a family [...]

Mrs. seat of her Pants took the kitchen out of my control over the weekend, and with stunning results, I admit! She whipped these out Sunday Morning in lieu of the normal “fried spuds” which of course I made on Saturday. Though we just made these to snack on, I think they would be outrageously [...]

Texas has its own rules when it comes to cuisine. I’ve seen foods here that I’d never heard of prior to meeting and marrying a Texan, then moving to her state as well. (O.K. She’s an Expat, we’re just stationed here, her license plates are Alaskan.) This little gem is a tribute to football games, [...]

Ever since I made my version of Kielbasa Stew from the recipe at La Mia Cucina, I’ve been dying to try out a version that used different types of sausage. Knowing that, I suppose it was somewhat advantageous that a tummy bug caught hold of me earlier this week, and that a good soup was [...]

I wanted to make something special for Mrs. seat of her Pants this Valentine’s day, not just your run-of-the-mill dessert. I must have hit every site on Google before I stumbled on this recipe. I was looking for a way to use up some of the Sherry or Sweet Marsala we have lying about, but [...]

Brown Rice and Barley are good for more than just soups. Barley is overlooked in American cooking. The most common uses of the grain in the U.S. are actually Malt production for beer and animal food products. I think that’s a crying shame, and I’m on a mission to prove it. (Though I won’t ask [...]

A Hairy Morning

by Jerry 0 comments February 13, 2007 Personal Ramblings

I hope that your mornings are all going well. Mine has started off with a bit of high stress work. Namely, I just transferred this domain from my old host to my new host. (And I highly recommend RimuHosting if you have a need for your own virtual server.) All seems to have gone well, [...]

Tipsy Pudding Recipe

I whipped this up for the Retro Recipe Challenge #6, Food of Love. (Actually, I was going to make something else, but it rated a 10 on the disaster scale, so I had to shift gears just one day before deadline, and Laura Rebecca was sweet enough to let me post this a day late), [...]
