Orange Cacao Rub, Roasted Paiche and a #Whole Foods #Give Away!

What do I say about a prehistoric fish? I wish I could have Adam over at my local Whole Foods tell you. (He works in the fish department.) I asked him about this paiche and he spoke excitedly. "Love this fish. It's been very popular," he tells me. So pai-che was on my dinner table the other night. I even asked my neighbor to join us. Well, let me tell you with excitement, just like Adam, "

Buttery Garlic Parmesan Potato Chips (Eat At Your Own Discretion!)

Consider this fair warning. These potato chips are addicting. They are deadly. They are damn good. Perfect for dip season. Or not. Perfect for hiding in the pantry with. Perfect for midnight gorging. Or closet eating. Don't say I didn't warn you. These are damn good chips.

I love potato chips. They are my vice and I shouldn't keep them in the house. And really I haven't bought them

Thai Pork Dip or Don't Be a Dip

Go ahead. Look up the word dip. I've never realized just how many meanings there are for the word. My favorite from the Urban Dictionary goes like this: "Dip -  leave abruptly. To get the hell out of somewhere."  In this case at least, with this recipe, it would go something like this: "Quit being a dip. If you don't put that damn dip in front of me, I'm going to dip right out of here."

Cincinnati Chili is Chocolate Lover's Chili

Shivering from the chill, she plunked down at the table and eyed the chili with a chilly look. "This sure looks like weird chili to me", she thought. The deep brown chili stared her down and dared her to chill out. "Just one bite of me and you will warm your bones and relax. For real. Let's do some chillin', " This chili muttered. (Well, that is, if chili could talk.) The air was filled

Colorado's Best Hash or Need I Say More?

Let's be blunt. This ain't no street hash and it's not from an "edible store". This is the real thing. Totally on the up and up and you don't have to be 21. This is the best hash I've tried in a long time and you don't have to wait in line. Rich and full of flavor with lots of earthy notes. Gentle and hip and comforting all in one bite. Savory, sultry and mellow and perfect for a Sunday morn.

Mussels and Fries or The Princess and the Prince

 You probably saw this coming, right? The truth is that I made these months ago and never got around to posting them. I still haven't had my fries BUT we did hear from HR, formerly known as the officedom of WussMan. WussMan quickly became a hero after recovering from the flu, and now is ready to eat some fries. Just kidding. But he did send the offer. Finally! And it is good and soon my

White Bean, Bacon and Kale Soup and Dallas: Are You Working Today?

Manservant informed me for the third day in a row that he is out of coffee. He also tells me he doesn't NEED coffee. I believe that like I believe he's going to get a job offer any day now. The truth is that he doesn't want to run to the store to get coffee, because it is cold outside. Poor baby. We all know it is cold outside. Every damn channel is covering the cold, except the CNN person

Roasted Salmon with Roasted Vegetables or The First Work Day of The New Year

The first work day of the New Year has arrived and it isn't Monday. Sorry, but this really throws me off. I am a creature of habit and my brain isn't quite ready to handle this. The good news is that I've already passed hump day and I only have two days before the weekend. The bad news is I have so much to do.
