Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Tonight is the night for ghosts, ghouls and goblins to walk among us. Most of them will be after your candy supplies, and hopefully the gremlins will stay out of your kitchen. Just remember not to feed any cute lil’ critters after midnight! For me, the end of the day ushers in thoughts of the [...]

AB

AB has never done me wrong. Oh, I’ve done his recipes wrong in the past, but on closer inspection it always turned out to be something that I did, vs. anything that was incorrect in the procedures or methods he handed out. He did us right again this time, and I thank him for it [...]

Asian Chicken Soup with Nyumen Noodles Recipe

noodles

I love Japanese and Chinese noodle soups almost as much as I like stir fry. The flavors are simple, pleasing and sustaining while still managing to be very light, something most American soups and stews cannot accomplish. This is an Asian inspired soup. This dish was not made from any traditional recipe, I just added [...]

What does a foodie make for lunch? Perhaps a better way to phrase that question is to ask what a foodie who generally hits the kitchen with no idea what he’s about to make cooks for lunch, because when I threw this together I had absolutely no concept of what I was going to do [...]

If there is one thing that I ask my wife to make more than anything else, it’s her particular take on banana bread, zucchini bread falls in at a close second. To be honest, I’m a sucker for just about any bread that features nuts or vegetables… Or beer. The combination of flavors, textures and [...]

Roast Pork Lumpia Recipe

by Jerry 4 comments October 16, 2007 Recipes

Basically, lumpia is the Filipino equivalent of the Chinese egg roll. I first experienced lumpia in my early 20′s, when our Guamanian next door neighbor made them and presented them to us as a housewarming gift, along with a massive platter of kelaguen. It was a nearly religious experience for me, even at the beginnings [...]

We interrupt our regular programming to bring you the following news bulletin! This just came in my email, and I think it’s something all of us should be aware of.

Roasted Acorn Squash Soup

I’ve been blaming a lot of other food bloggers for my entries here lately, and today seems to be more of the same. This time it was Katerina of Daily Unadventures in Cooking who decided my fate for me. I was just taking my daily dose of food blogs when I ran across her recipe [...]

I had originally meant to title this post “Ale Bread Part Deux”, but I really didn’t want to make it into any kind of a tribute to Charlie Sheen. (Not that I have anything against Charlie, mind you!)If you’ve been keeping up with this blog over the last year, you’ll know that baking is one [...]

News, updates and what’s happ-nin’s

by Jerry 4 comments October 11, 2007 Personal Ramblings

Sorry gang, there’s no food porn on today’s slate… At least not yet. Yesterday was spent dealing with one of the very real challenges of living on a military base with a wife who instructs students from all over the country. Around here it’s called “The Crud”. What the rest of the world calls it [...]
