On The Road With Kitchen Warfare (Day 4)
2007-09-05 05:43:00 The Best Day Ever! Well at least one of them. This morning we got up and drove the 150 miles or so from Old Town to Kissimmee, FL which is just south of Orlando and no this isn?t going to be about a day at Disney. As far as that goes I spent most of ... More About: Commentary , Kitchen , Road , On The Road , Road Food
On The Road With Kitchen Warfare (Day 3)
2007-09-04 04:00:00 Today we wanted to take advantage of our location and head over to Cedar Key, FL for lunch. Located on the West coast Cedar Key is a small island town of about 800 residents. Due to its geography (no interstates or big cities for miles and miles) it remains largely untouched by corporate commercialism. ... More About: Commentary , Kitchen , Road , On The Road , Road Food
On The Road With Kitchen Warfare (Day 2)
2007-09-03 02:29:00 Today we reached our rental property in Old Town, FL which was essentially abandoned by the tenant.

On The Road With Kitchen Warfare
2007-09-02 00:46:00 Road Trip! Sounds great right? I?d love to tell you that some megacorp was sponsoring an insightful journey into the American heartland and back roads in an amazing culinary adventure (you know, like our hero Alton Brown does) but that would be about as far from the truth as is possible. Instead we?re taking ... More About: Kitchen , Road , On The Road , Road Food , Chen
Sad Food Fact
2007-08-21 00:01:00 U.S food producers currently dedicate about 4 million acres of land to organic production, which is only 4% of al U.S. farmland. I know this is true because it was on TV I paused the Tivo and wrote it down word for word but then forgot to note the name of the program. D’oh! More About: Commentary , Food , Fact

2007-07-13 11:30:00 Ever since Iron Chef of Japan became a cult classic U.S. television has been experimenting with cooking contests (including Food Network’s excellent American version of Iron Chef itself).

Spicy Chicken Soup Not Your Typical Summer Delight
2007-06-25 00:47:00 I’m not sure what first attracted me to a spicy soup recipe during the hot summer drought we’re experiencing on our part of the rock but for some reason I wanted to try this one the moment I saw it. Perhaps it was that I like most things that include the words ’spicy’ and ... More About: Cooking , Recipes , Summer , Soup , Chicken
OXO Comes Through
2007-06-15 01:12:00 Just to follow up and give OXO their props I just got a brand new replacement for the broken garlic press. To be fair to OXO it arrived in our area a few days ago but because we’re on a private road in rural Can-Tuc-Kee any time we don’t get our regular UPS/FedEx/DHL driver ...

Ain?t No Cure For The Summertime Blues(berry Cobbler)
2007-06-05 22:26:00 With acres to mow and our large garden getting started it seems we have a lot less time to spend in the kitchen this time of year. So to that end we?re always up for good quality food that doesn?t involve a drive thru (of course I say the same thing during football season). ...

Hot! Hot! Hot! Red Beans And Sausage
2007-05-29 23:17:00 Sometimes the food we fix has a great story. This one doesn’t. I mean I’m sure it does for some folks but for me my grandma never made it when I was a kid, I never lived in Cajun country and I never found a lost recipe for it in an old family cookbook that ...

Crack Goes The Garlic (Press) - What Will OXO Do?
2007-05-26 01:06:00 For years whenever I needed minced garlic I’d do one of two things. If it was a small amount I’d mince by hand and if were a large bit I’d toss the cloves into the food processor. About year or so ago I picked up a cheap garlic press and it just wasn’t sturdy enough ... More About: Commentary , Garlic , Press , Crack , Rack
BBQ Chicken Stir Fry
2007-05-23 19:00:00 When the fledgling Kitchen Warrior first begins the transition from the freezer to the pantry often the biggest ‘gotcha’ is that a little more time and planning is required. Folks don’t always appreciate this and just assume we’re always ready to whip something up even in THEIR kitchen regardless of what ingredients they ... More About: Cooking , Recipes , Chicken
Light Oat Bread
2007-05-12 19:44:00 This is one of my favorite ‘white’ loaf breads, it has a wonderful taste and texture. Don’t read oats and think lumps because they just disappear in the finished loaf and all that remains is a hint of flavor. And to top it off this bread has a beautiful crust and a sturdy rise ...

?Will It Blend?? and more Blendtec Blender Blather
2007-05-05 07:05:00 When I first saw Tom Dickson turn a rake handle into sawdust with a blender I thought he might be a candidate for our dubious prestigious Honorary Kitchen Warrior award. But as it turns out he’s just a guy trying to sell blenders. But what the heck, overall commercials are a lot more fun to watch ... More About: Commentary , Blender , Will , More , Blend
Breakfast - It?s What?s For Dinner
2007-04-23 22:14:00 There just doesn’t seem to be a lot of room for breakfast any more. I don’t mean your daily high fiber whole wheat muffin and slice of mango. I mean a good down home traditional American breakfast. The breakfast meals of our my youth were high calorie high fat affairs that would drown a ...

The Warfare Scramble
2007-04-22 22:18:00 The Warfare Scramble is sort of a breakfast stir fry of potatoes, eggs, bacon or sausage, and cheese. Or swap the meat for your favorite veggies. Or add everything you can think of. Good stuff. Note: The method we use here for our potatoes is an easy and healthy way to fry potatoes ANYTIME. The Warfare Scramble Serves ...

Outstanding Pizza From Scratch In 50 minutes
2007-04-15 02:30:00 One obstacle you may encounter when scratch cooking for other folks is the time quality food prep can and often takes. Consider that in a mind powered by a starving stomach you and your raw ingredients, sharp cutlery and expensive cookware are up against a 1500 watt microwave and a box of frozen Stouffer’s (NO ...

Recipe: White Garlic Sauce Pizza
2007-04-15 02:27:00 This pizza is referenced (with picture) in the article ‘Outstanding Pizza From Scratch In 50 minutes’ The motivation for this pie was to see how quickly I could prepare a pizza from scratch.

Our Orange Rum Cake Does Not Suck
2007-04-09 04:03:00 When I was a kid growing up in Florida one of our holiday favorites was Orange Rum cake. Its a little different than the typical hodgepodge of cakes and besides it was just fun to make. I liked helping to shave the orange and lemon zest (peel) and there was something cool even then about ... More About: Cake , Suck , Range
Italian Herb Bread
2007-04-01 04:01:00 When I decided I was in an Italia n mood the first thing I did was to select a bread because bread usually takes the longest amount of time. I wanted to try something new so I googled around and settled on this Italian Herb Bread I found on AllRecipes originally from Ann Barr. In spite of the ... More About: Read
A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
2007-04-01 03:58:00 When I started thinking about dinner tonight I started to think Italian and that evolved into Lasagna and Italian Herb Bread. About half way through both projects I suddenly remembered I only had one oven. Sigh . . . Kitchen Warfare and not the good kind. Calculating everything out there is no way of getting everything done and ... More About: Men , Moment , Reason , Menta
A Most Excellent Lasagna
2007-04-01 02:51:00 The nice thing about Lasagna other than its lure to commit deadly sin #2 is that its very easy to make an outstanding dish of it, you just need a good recipe. Here’s why. Generally speaking a successful effort in the kitchen requires 3 things- A good plan (recipe, imagination, etc) Using the best ingredients you can reasonably/affordably obtain Proper ...

First Honorary Kitchen Warrior: Guy Fieri
2007-03-27 04:43:00 Who? Guy Fieri, host of Food Network’s cooking show ‘Guy’s Big Bite’ has the dubious honor of being named our first official Kitchen War rior. Before we go too far with this, lets be clear. 1) Guy has no idea he has received this honor if for no reason other than 2) I just made it ... More About: First , Honor , Nora
The Year Is 1932. The Recipe Is Toast.
2007-03-25 09:52:00 Another hobby of mine is collecting ephemera which if you don’t know is collectable paper. Letters, papers, bookmarks, postcards, recipe cards, advertising pieces, stock certificates, basically all kinds of paper. Some people say it includes pamphlets and magazines. Some say not. What does this have to do with cooking or even Kitchen Warfare you ask? Well ... More About: Recipe , Toast , Year , Reci
Bun There Done That: Yeast Rolls In 80 Minutes
2007-03-23 03:02:00 For the last few months we’ve been completely boycotting store bought breads. Initially it was more of a challenge (game) just to see if we could do it but it didn’t take long for us to become pretty accustomed to high quality (most of the time!) baked goods. I don’t mean this in the sense ... More About: Hat , East , Roll , Here , That
Kudos? KitchenAid!
More articles from this author:2007-03-23 03:01:00 We’ve barely had time to learn the nuances of our new mixer and the $30 rebate check showed up. We sent the rebate in on 3/6 and had a check in the mailbox on 3/19th. That’s got to be a record for a rebate, it usually takes most companies 6 months to get you .50 ...
