How do I get myself involved in stuff? It’s not that I just can’t say no (although that is true), there truly are forces projecting me into projects, ideas, concepts, improving the community and getting my crazy on. Not even a full month into the year, I have ignored my Confucius Summer dog, who advised […]
Life is full of lessons. Some lessons are good and some are bad. Sometimes the bad ends up being for the best because you make the best out of a bad situation. Despite careful planning, things don’t always work out as expected. Actually it seems like the more carefully I plan the more likely my […]
Last month I taught a cooking class, it was Mexican cooking. Not your standard heavy Tex-Mex loaded with cheese, sauces and sour cream. Our theme was Mexi-light, Mexi-easy, Mexi-delicious. We started off with the basics, salsa and guacamole and then things got better. Taking my cues from Baja and the Yucatan region we started off […]
Have you ever heard the term “so ugly, it’s cute”? Typically this refers to animals and babies, not to food. And it shouldn’t. Actually I’ve never seen anything so ugly that it became cute.

Here is the last of my dishes from The Daring Cooks Challenge. The mandatory ingredients I selected for this one was: maple, chipotle and parsnips. Although this dish wasn’t at the same show stopper level as the Cowboy Steak with Red Eye Gravy, if I would have made this first I probably would have thought […]
Is everyone as excited about grilling as I am? The weather is warming up and so is my grill. I love to grill so much so, that poor McGyver has slowly been cut off from the job. I couldn’t help myself, there is just something about standing next to the grill, drinking a beer and […]
Summer Fruit, yeah for fruit! Honestly I don’t eat much fruit, mostly because I a fruit snob. I am seriously picky about eating fruit. It must be fresh and taste intensely of whatever type of fruit it is. When I first heard of fruit based salsas, I was skeptical for sure. I am a […]
