Quick Casseroles: Pasta, Kale and Beef
2008-06-11 00:47:00 Sometimes I feel that I have no time to cook. I really hate that because I love cooking but my life right now is just so busy that cooking seems to take a back seat. I know I have been scarce in visiting your blogs…blame it on a huge amount of writing assignments and Chris ...

Thai Vegan Curry
2008-06-09 17:26:00 One of my favorite cuisines is Thai. I love the spicy-sweet tropical combinations that so many of those recipes have to offer. The versatility of the flavors allows you to substitute as you want and/or need to. To me, this is the mark of a truly perfect cuisine. This curry was ...

Depression and quesadillas.
2008-05-23 19:12:00 I’ve been a bit, uhh, unreachable lately. I haven’t posted and—worse—havenR-17;t been answering emails or commenting enough on your blogs.

Ugly as a Monkfish?s Uncle
2008-05-12 22:14:00 If monkfish can teach you one thing, it’s “don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” There are hardly any foods in the world that are this ugly: But monkfish isn’t simply ugly, it’s also hands-down the best fish to use in a stew, assuming you can get over the look long enough to cook it. ...
Hauntingly Tender
2008-05-07 23:10:00 I don’t eat (much) veal. That hauntingly tender texture has a way of reminding me that what I’m eating was a baby animal—one who wasn’t allowed to move much throughout it’s too-short life so that I could have a tender dinner. But, like all guilty pleasures, I make exceptions. I love to ...
Grilled Tuna Tacos & Salsa Verde
2008-04-30 22:50:00 Tacos are fun. They’re eat-while-standing-up food. They’re perfect-with-alcohol food…they’re party food. I’ve always loved tacos—tacos (or spareribs) were my favorite dinner as a child, and they remain so to this day. I don’t, however, make tacos often. I’m not sure why, since they are easy as pie (much easier actually). I think it ...
Welcome to the soup to nuts' carnival's main course
2008-04-28 23:37:00 I've never hosted a general interest carnival before and was not really sure what to expect for this one. True to form, a bit of everything came in. To help with finding something you might wish to check out, I have organized the volumes according to the Dana decimal system in my own private blog library. Maybe that doesn't make any sense since I am the main course. But my creativity has been zapped.

Arroz con Pollo
2008-02-25 22:23:00 Over the past year or so, I’ve learned that my favorite foods are the so-called “peasant” or “country” varieties: simple risottos, stews, braises, cheap cuts of meat, long-cooked vegetables thrown in a pot. It doesn’t matter where these dishes originate from, if a recipe says it’s a favorite of “the people,” “the farmers,” or ...

So, this dish might better be called a calzon-boli. I like the whole aspect of doing OAMC but a big, frozen pizza is, by my standards, ...

Main Course Recipes : Blackened Rockfish, Polynesian Wild Rice Pilaf
2008-01-11 17:27:00 Ingredients :6 - 8 rockfish filletsOne half cup butter, meltedBlackening seasoningCoat each fillet individually in a bowl of melted butter and then coat lightly with blackening seasoning. Allow coated fillets to sit for about 15 - 20 minutes. Fry in a heavy skillet on high heat. Expect lots of smoke and use your exhaust fan. Depending on the thickness of the fillets you should cook for several minutes per side. Rockfish is the local term here in Southeastern Virginia for striped bass. This is a very large fish and the fillets from this fish are very thick and meaty. If you cannot find rockfish fillets in your area, substitute another meaty fish such as mahi-mahi, tilapia, tuna or salmon. Tips : Coat the fish with non-stick spray if you would prefer but we think butter is always better.Be careful because some blackening seasoning is hotter than others. If you get a seasoning that is too spicy, try to limit the amount of seasoning you use to coat the fish and serve the fish with some ...
