All this bloody baking is going to cause me to spiral quickly into a drunken haze of insanity. The plan was a simple one in that before bedtime on Friday night I would have perfectly shaped bagels resting in the fridge overnight. This would allow me to wake up on Saturday morning, boil some water, […]
You ever have a “what in the $%*@$ was I thinking” moment? I am going through one right now and it is all thanks to Nicole from Pinch My Salt. Last week on Twitter she asked if people wanted to join her in her quest to bake all the formulas in the Bread Baker’s Apprentice […]
Next to a grill my second preferred cooking vessel has to be the smoker. There is something magical about a smoker slowly chugging away with wispy streams of smoke coming out of the smokestack and filling up the neighborhood with the wonderful smells of hickory, fruit wood, and slowly cooking meat.

Before I start this post I must say a quick prayer to the coffee gods. I am running on lack of sleep and my level of insanity is not all there. This post could have the world’s worst introduction so bear with me. I will try to bring it together near the end or at […]

This post marks a new era for me in that I have finally joined the Digital SLR revolution (revolution will be televised across living rooms and the great divide). Went with the Nikon D60 and mucho thanks to my buddy Richard for his patience as I ask a ton of questions/sending him test photos. This […]
How the heck do you people think of names for dishes? I have resorted to basically just throwing the majority of ingredients into the title from here on out. Apparently I lack massive amounts of creativity.
This marinade worked really well with pork loin. Even though it has a lot of powerful ingredients behind it the […]
Before you think I have flipped my lid, got insane, forgot my medication, and am back to running in traffic give me a second to explain the reasoning behind this dish. I have a close friend who is a children librarian and every year she hosts a program which the theme is gross foods. The […]
