It has been extremely hot in DC. Yesterday it was 92 in my backyard. 92 in April, you have to be kidding me. So I wanted to make yet another frozen drink. I had to choose based on the liquor I had on hand. Luckily, I had plenty of tequila. With tequila comes margaritas. I…
Happy Easter everyone! I thought the best thing to do early Easter morning was to make some fluffy doughnuts. There is nothing like deep frying in the AM. I have never made them before so I searched high and low for a easy yet tasty sounding recipe. I ended up finding the perfect one at…
It has been super nice here in DC. This weekend is supposed to reach the 80’s. So I decided to make a nice refreshing cocktail. This week’s cocktail is the strawberry daiquiri. This is a quick and easy rum based drink, as long as you have a blender. No blender, then this might not be…
I wanted to make a fried Udon Dish, but I could not find Udon noodles for the life of me. I checked the stores close to me and the closest thing I could find was Chow Mein Noodles. I know they are not even close, but they worked great. If you can find Udon feel…
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 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…
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…
Italian food is one of my vices. I love the sauce, the pasta and the bread. The main problem is that my favorite recipe chicken Parmesan takes a while to cook, it requires a full chicken breast per person. Doesn’t seem like that big of a problem, but when you start cooking a bunch and…
I am a huge fan of garlic bread and I am always looking for a new way to make it. I took this idea from the bread at the local grocery store. They make a tear apart cheese bread that is pretty good. The concept however, is awesome. No need to cut the bread and…
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,…
Over the last couple of weeks I have started to make No Knead Bread every other day. Why? It is really tasty and takes no effort. Mix, let sit a day and bake. Nothing more, nothing less. Every time that I bite into the amazing crust of this bread, I think, this would be an…
Last week I went to the local Safeway and they had an amazing deal on rotisserie chickens. Only $5. So I decided to purchase one and make a couple of recipes. Using the roasted chicken you can quickly make a couple of meals. There is plenty of meat on the bird and the bones can…
