The other day I went to the store and they had sirloin steaks on sale. So I picked a few up. I wanted to try something new so I decided to make Asian Style Beef Kabobs. I wanted to do a skewer that was reminiscent of a Stir-fry. So I skewered broccoli, whole water chestnuts,…
I am always on the look out for new sauce recipes. This past weekend I dusted off the smoker and made some pulled pork. Dana’s family was in town and her Dad said he was a fan of Memphis style sauces. So I went around the interwebs and found this one. It was quick and…
A couple of weeks ago I picked up an ice cream maker at the discount store. It was cheap, but it expanded my culinary reach by a lot. So I made this super simple lemon sorbet. After tasting it, I knew it would be the base of an amazing cocktail. So I had a few…
A couple of months ago I tackled Pizza Hut’s Macaroni Salad. I was off by a bit and I finally tried it again. The salad was close, but it needed just a few flavor enhancements to make it perfect. I tried the macaroni salad ten times and finally figured out the secret ingredient that makes…
Growing up we would always stop by the Colonel’s and pick up Coleslaw for all of our coleslaw needs. Even when we didn’t need a special recipe drumstick we still picked up the coleslaw. Mainly because it was tasty and finely diced. The smaller dice allowed for a creamier coleslaw. So ever since that day…
I am always looking for a new way to spice up a salad. So when I came across this recipe, I knew I had a winner. Grilled tomatoes and bread served over a nice green salad. The smokiness of grilled tomatoes and bread add a unique flavor to this salad.
Last weekend my Mom made me Strawberry Jam. I figured the strawberries would be alright, but not too ripe. I mean, they are not even close to being in season. To my surprise the strawberries were plump, beautiful and full of flavor. Got to love modern chemistry. So I picked up some more and decided…
The other day I went to the greatest grocery store around, Wegmans. They opened one about 20 miles south of me in Woodbridge, VA. If you have never been to one you have to go. This is the only grocery store that I have ever been to that stocks black truffles. Don’t believe me,…
The other day I needed to pick up some supplies for my house guests so I stopped by Marshall’s. While roaming through the aisles I found a white box. A large white box. It had a couple red clearance price tags on it. Each one going lower and lower all the way to $29. So…
Leftover rum from Mardi Gras plus orange juice, cranberry juice and triple sec. The Rumster. Simple, easy and really good. Serve it straight up or on the rocks.
Since yesterday was Fat Tuesday, I figured I would go all Mardi Gras on you guys and make a Hurricane. The hurricane was originally mixed up by local New Orleans resident and bar owner Pat O’Brien in the 1940s. It was a way for him to get rid of the excess rum that the local…
I was searching through this months Food and Wine and discovered a little drink that looked amazing. The drink was originally called Ramoncita Lopez Special, the name was too long. As a bartender, anything with more than two words in the name is overkill. Further, the drink tastes like a key lime pie. No shit,…
The weather here in DC has been all over the place. We have had snow one day and a sunny 65 degree day the next. Who knows what it is going to look like tomorrow. When it is nice, I like to take advantage of it, you never know when it is gonna snow. It…
