For Kristen
…I needed to head to the supermarket for some 85/15 ground beef, and make a plain and simple bacon cheeseburger, medium rare, with American cheese, bacon, a slice of raw onion, a leaf of Boston lettuce, and a quick and easy burger sauce (tomato paste, mustard, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, fresh cracked pepper, and salt)….

Apple Of My (Rib)Eye
…I enjoyed a great, very tasty dinner of tender, juicy, crisped-on-the-edges steak with a hint of deep and intense, smoky coffee flavor, a bright and layered, sweet/sour/spicy steak sauce, and a light and airy fritter aromatic with the savory cornmeal yet finishing with the subtle sweetness flavor of apple….

Morning Smoke and Fire
Oven-Baked Smokey Cheddar Grits with Egg and Chili Oil | Candied Turkey Bacon
Seasonally Bipolar
…The jalepeño·barbecue burger dog was a bit more of a revelation, if only in the dressing. I had never made that before, but after the first few bites of its smoky, tangy, sweet, and creamy properties—heightened by the acidic heat of the jalapeños, I immediately started to imagine all other future applications for it. I promise, this dressing will make a return!… [Full post]
Letters From Home
…The chopped lettuce with carrots then got mixed with a teaspoon of mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and honey. Two slices of toasted cornbread slices got smeared with mayo with cider vinegar stirred in, the slices of tomatillas sautéed in butter, the BBQ bacon slices, and slaw, with the pea salad spooned on the side….

Chili of the Sea
…I then sliced two tilapia filets into big chucks and threw them in the pot with a can of whole clams (I wanted to represent—in a Sloppy Jill—the many layers of women, so I used a flake fish, a crustacean, and a bivalve), continuing to stir over medium low heat until the tilapia fell apart into flakes but kept their firmness, about 10 minutes. I then let it simmer for another 5 minutes, letting extra liquid steam off until giving the mixture its necessary chili-like consistency…. [Full post]
Fire By The Sea
…Trixie was a big fan of both dishes, as was I, and noted, as I did, that the layers of flavors, one first bite of each, kind of hit the tongue one by one, eventually, though, creating a “circus” of flavors that made each bite more enjoyable than the last…. [cont.]
Best of Both Worlds, Twice
…The great thing about chili is that you always have to make them in large batches, as I did. And, now I still have a whole bunch left over. Something to look forward to now, the following morning—this Christmas morning!—as I remember how chili improves over a couple of days in its chilled container…. [cont.]
Chocolate Is The New Breakfast
…As the child in you can probably imagine, this was crazy yummers! Nice airy pancakes with just a little crisp to the edges were heightened by little bursts of chocolate rice cereal with plenty of rich cocoa flavor and still retaining a lot of their crunch. The syrup, sweet with sugar, tempered by butter, gave some sweet moistness to the bits of pancakes and the peanuts…. [cont.]
T.G.F.B!
…I greased the inside of a miniature glass bowl with some butter, and cracked an egg into it. I brought several cups of water to bowl in a high-edged pan and placed the mini-bowl in it. I chopped up some thick-sliced deli ham, tossed it with some cider vinegar, ground cloves, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar, then put them in a skillet and put them in the oven which is on broil. I stir sliced mushrooms and grated parmesan cheese into some grits started with water and chicken stock…. [cont.]
A Southern Breakfast Mashup…!
Scallion-Scrambled Eggs, Shiitake Mushroom Grits, and BBQ Pulled Chicken
Steak & Eggscellence
…Most of the stuff I would need to make this were already at home; the only things I bought were a can of baby shrimp ($4, to scramble with my eggs), scallions ($2, likewise, for the eggs), and—here’s the good part!—an Angus boneless ribeye steak (only $9!). The rest of the stuff I would need I already had at home, so here is roughly what I started with…. [cont.]
