Goodbye….

No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun - for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax - This won’t hurt.

Irish Eggrolls or Romanian Sarmale

When I think back of my grandma this dish is the first thing that pops into my head because my brother and I always begged for it.  Heck to this day we still beg mom to make it and I know more than once we have threatened not to show up at key holidays unless […]

Spicy lamb with lentils

 Oh fall how I missed you and your glorious ability to bring joy and joyness through braised dishes.  Oh hell who am I kidding our freaking summer was so mild it felt like fall never left us.
The lentils also were a direct result of the search to find semolina flour in this bloody town.  While […]

BBA: Pane Sciliciano

This boys and girls was the first of what I am going to assume to be many three day breads.  Yes you read that right from start to finish three bloody days.  Although actually it was pretty easy since Heather did most of the work and I spent my time plopped in front of the […]

Anti-vampire pot roast now with 100% more crock-pot love

This dish is perfect for the serial stabber in your family.  This dish allows them to get out of their frustration safely and they would be contributing to cooking dinner which work wonders for a serial stabber’s self esteem.
Also, this dish helps ward off evil vampires that are living amongst us.  I still recommend […]

BBA Pain a l’Ancienne

Yeah for more bread baking (please sense sarcasm)….
I think this dough may have gone into favorite dough category because it freezes well and is ready to go within a couple hours after defrosting.  None of this defrost, bring it to room temperature, and now do a rain dance while clucking like a chicken for 14 […]

Roasted chicken with root vegetables

Roasting chicken is a constant reminder that I need to invest in a roasting pan.  I always spend more time and energy fabricating up a roasting rack but I have found a system that works flawlessly and rewards me every time with crispy skin.

The best part is I can transfer the pan right to the  […]

BBA Pan De Campagne

Another week another bread.  Hmmm….yep starting to sound like a broken record.
Wish I could sound more excited about this bread but damn it is more bread and really hard to brag about it.
Heck to keep it exciting we have gone to posting out of order.
Anything else I can brag about???  Oh yeah I did my […]

Grilled spinach stuffed pork chops

 Guess who is back errrr….guess who has been so lazy to post but now has a massive backlog of blog posts?
I do have a legitimate excuse this time because I have been on business travel in Colorado Springs.  We spent a lot of time working but did manage to get out the one day to […]

BBA lavash crackers

Another week another bread.  Actually if you are following along you will notice that we manage to skip the kaiser rolls.  This was intentional because making an entire batch of kaiser rolls for two people just seemed impractical.  However, they will be made in a couple weeks for a buddy’s bachelor party that I have […]
