Dang Quesadilla

I heart quesadillas. I have a bad habit of trying to be healthy, so generally when I make quesadillas, I bake them. I was feeling saucy this time, and decided to fry this baby up. Having since eaten the above item, I think that in the future, the small amount of oil used is totally [...]

Bisquick, Russian Dolls, and Joy

I am a big fan of food that is stuffed inside other food. I like to think of it as the Russian Doll model of cooking/eating. Truly a beautiful thing, it is. And has the potential to truly be a complicated thing, as my previous experience with attempting empanadas has shown. And thusly, I attempt [...]

Cheese Pasta, Hidden Chickens, and Bonus Cheese

I have plates with chickens on them. In the particular instance of this post, I’d say they’re more like Schroedinger’s chickens, as they are shrouded in a veil of pasta, putting their mere existence into question, Delicious pasta, I might add. I might also add that you are completely at my mercy regarding this whole [...]

Soup that is Filled with Delicious

Here’s my first sampling of soup in Mexico. I’m really not sure what type of soup this is. Considering my Spanish language skills (or, rather, lack thereof), I feel lucky that I ended up with soup, period. In any case, it is filled with delicious. Well, and celery, potatoes, carrots, and a Mystery Vegetable. This [...]

A Rainbow of Taste (Yogurt + M&Ms = Joy)

I’ve recently come to the realization that yogurt + fruit + granola is a rather gratifying sort of breakfast. But you know what makes it even better? Adding M&Ms. It’s like a party in your mouth! The strategy is to mix it up just enough. You want the colors to swirl around and look all [...]

Tacos Al Pastor

Strangely enough, tacos al pastor have pretty much nothing to do with any sort of ministry, unless it’s the Ministry of Pork. The meat is shaved off of this giant meat cylinder of the sort that I’d totally love to wrap my body around and gnaw upon for awhile. It’s rather similar to a giant [...]

Deadliest Burger Ever

So I’m back from Mexico. I knew that I’d encounter some scary food down there, and boy was I right in that guess! This was damn near horrifying for me, in fact: My arteries were shrieking in pain just looking at that poster!

Happy Salami Day

Just a quick note, to wish folks a Happy Salami Day. No picture today, as I am short on time and long on plans. I’ll be in Cancun for the next week, where I look forward to, among other things, eating some delicious food that other people will make for me. Ah, vacation. What this [...]

Falafel! (Beany Cookies…or Worst Wallpaper Ever)

To explain the title a bit better, I will simply post the image first: At first glance, they almost appear to be cookies, perhaps peanut butter cookies that have been rubbing elbows with the wrong sorts of citrus fruits. These would be the beaniest cookies one has ever bitten into. Actually, I’m not even sure [...]

Macaroon Joy(ish)

I love macaroons so bad. They are like magical lumps of coconut and joy. I recently had the joy of eating one, made in the mini-mountains of Southwest Virginia, that was approximately the size of my fist and appeared to a have a stingray composed entirely of chocolate and yes, more joy, affixed to the [...]
