Saw the movie "Parasite" about a month ago. Lets just say it was not at all what I was expecting. I came away emotionally drained but eventually loving the movie. During the movie "Ramdon" was made and slurped down like every great Asian noddle should be. So leaving the movie, I'm now an emotional shadow … Continue reading Ramdon Inspired by “Parasite” Movie
(Note: I wrote this yesterday, but then got wrapped up watching the game. Our Patriots lost 20-13. Might be the last time we will see Tom Brady in Gillette Stadium. Sad Day.) Today (Saturday, January 4, 2020) is the start of the playoff season for the NFL. Our poor beleaguered Patriots still have a chance … Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Wings (Baked)
I realize this is definitely going to be published well after Turkey Day. But I made this a few years back in lieu of a full turkey and it was a huge hit. People love turkey on Thanksgiving, but if you're like me and have a small group of friends then consuming an entire bird … Continue reading Turkey Meatloaf
Happy New Year Guys! We were watching one of our new favorite shows on YouTube called "It's Alive" with Brad Leone from Bon Appetit. He focuses on making foods that need to be fermented or aged. He was making Country Mustard and it looked ridiculously simple to do, so today I tried making my own … Continue reading Country Mustard
As promised I made beef enchiladas from the Barbacoa Beef I made the day before. Not a recipe really, just some guidelines if you want to try making them. First make sure you have everything staged and ready in an assembly line. Small non-stick skillet for frying tortillas Vegetable cooking oil (we use avocado oil … Continue reading Barbacoa Beef Enchiladas
We were in Costco the other day and they were handing out samples of Carnitas, Tamales, and Barbacoa Beef. We liked the Barbacoa very much, but I told Laura I could do this easily in the instant pot. So yesterday I bought the ingredients and went to work. It turned out really tasty. The advantage … Continue reading Instant Pot Barbacoa Beef
Literally the first time I ate this cake was when I came home from the hospital after giving birth to our son, James. He surprised all of us as he decided to arrive five weeks early. We were living in New England where it is the custom for friends and family to provide dinner for … Continue reading Rum Cake
For Christmas dinner I made roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and braised Brussels sprouts. I did not buy the right cut of beef, so the roast beef was pretty dry and tasteless and desperately needed au jus to make it edible. It also, because it was too lean, did not exude any pan drippings when … Continue reading Yorkshire Pudding
Laura took her turn in the kitchen last night. She wanted to make something with seafood because James, who is coming to visit for Christmas today, does not like seafood, so this was our chance to have some before he arrives. She chose this recipe. I looked at it and said: "Are you sure, this … Continue reading Coquilles St. Jacques
I made this last night and Laura thought it was one of the best things she's eaten in a long time. I was kind of embarrassed by all the complements to tell the truth. But I will definitely make it again. I took advantage of the availability of the hot oven to roast some carrots … Continue reading Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Mustard and Panko
