Independence Day Egg Bash Part II

In my opinion, grilling comes down to a) quality meats and b) proper technique. Although I still consider myself a real beginner at grilling, I am noticing that when I do the least I’m getting the best results. For example, the burgers I grilled today. Ground beef and a homemade rub. That’s it. Granted, theContinue reading “Independence Day Egg Bash Part II”

Just in time for your holiday weekend (if you’re in the US) a quick and delicious salad to accompany your burgers, steaks, etc. This is a great way to use leftover roast chicken and/or another use for that package of bacon you’re opening for bacon cheeseburgers this weekend.

KKF Gets Schooled: Indian Cuisine

I had another wonderful experience at the Whole Foods Salud cooking school, this time on Indian food. Originally the class had five students, then two called and cancelled.

Years ago, before I got religion about food, I emailed Mom for her recipe so I could reproduce the chickeny goodness in my own kitchen. I’ll paraphraseContinue reading “Chicken Soup: In Hot Pursuit”

4th of July Feast

Usually the 4th of July holiday finds Bill and I at home, chilling out, having some wine and watching random fireworks from our back deck. This year, however, we ventured out to a friend’s house to celebrate our nation’s birthday together. When you’re wine snobs like us but don’t have the budget for Caymus asContinue reading “4th of July Feast”

Chicken 3 1/2 ways

I recently obtained several real chickens from my heros at Nature’s Harmony Farm. I was totally excited because I haven’t had chicken in 2+ years (if you missed why, read here.) What I didn’t know is how many different ways this chicken would display herself… The first night after the 4.9 lb bird was thawedContinue reading “Chicken 3 1/2 ways”
