The other day it was late and I wanted to grill something. It happens, maybe not to all, but it happens to me all of the time. So I went in the fridge and all I had was chicken. I don’t mean to sound sad, but I was in the mood to grill something crazy….
Sorry for not posting over the weekend, but I was a little busy. I asked my girlfriend to marry me. She said yes! Luckily for me, I was prepared for the occasion. Check out my champagne taste test post for the best champagne under $15. I will be back tomorrow with a new post.
Happy Fathers Day to all of the dads out there. This weekend is for you. There is a lot going on. First off if you haven’t gotten your tickets to the Beer Bourbon and Barbecue festival you may be out of luck. They are all sold out. Although there is some talk that they will…
I love bratwurst, but sometimes I don’t have a hot dog bun lying around when I want to enjoy it. So I figured out a way to make bratwurst into patties. I know what you are thinking, but you can’t just use a standard bratwurst recipe as it will dry out and fall apart. With…
A couple weeks back I sent Dana to the liquor store to pick up some coconut rum for the pina coladas. When she came back she also had a bottle of firefly sweet tea vodka. This stuff is awesome! You could totally drink it straight up without a mixer. But when mixed with lemonade it…
I wanted to recreate the soft billowy store bought hamburger buns at home. I tried a few recipes and the only one that came close was the one from King Arthur Flour. The buns came out perfectly brown and had an amazing texture. The only thing that was disappointing was that the buns were a little hard…
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending Food and Wine Festival at National Harbor. It was a lot of fun. There was wine tasting, beer tasting, liquor tasting and food. Lots and lots of food. Dana and I attended the festival on Saturday. With your entrance fee, you get a souvenir wine glass for sampling…

The other day I wanted something quick to eat. Nothing screams fast, like stir-fry. So I decided to go and see what looked good at the market. I found some broccoli and bell peppers. Plus, Dana loves water chestnuts so I added a can of those. To be honest, they are my favorite part too….
Do you like Pina Coladas, well then this post is for you. This coconut/pineapple inspired drink is awesome! It is one of those drinks that can go amazingly awesome or horribly wrong and taste like suntan lotion. I experimented with a few recipes and came to one conclusion; use coconut cream and not coconut milk….
The other day I wanted something sweet. So I poured through my cupboards and refrigerator and all I found were the components to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. On a good day this would be awesome, but I wanted the cookies right away. Needless to say, I had to wait. 🙁 But as you can…
So I have been trying to perfect ribs for a while. I am always on the lookout for new techniques or tools to make the perfect competition rib. Well I went back to basics and scored with an amazing rib. The key was a nice rub and a finely tuned barbecue smoker. The final ribs…
A couple of weeks ago I received an email from Linda a valued reader, requesting a good key lime pie recipe. I have never made a key lime pie before, but I was all over the challenge. So last weekend I made a bunch of key lime pies. Some were good, some were bad, and…
