Borsch is where it’s at

As a general rule, I am not a fan of beets. It’s not that I dislike them, per se, it’s simply that, if they are on a table full of other options, they will simply not be eaten. Were they on a table full of disgusting foods, such as liver, mushrooms, or omelets, I would [...]

More dolmades then your average human could possible handle

So I’ve had this ginormous jar of stuffed grape leaves sitting on my shelf for about a year and a half. I’d really wanted to make dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), but whenever I thought to do it, I realised I didn’t have all of the ingredients, and didn’t have nearly enough drive for such an [...]

My Big Fat Oozing Mediterranean Sandwich

I feel like I have discovered the ultimate in vegetable versatility. I’d been looking for some sort of Mediterranean salad to make and was a bit overwhelmed with all of the possibilities I came across online. So I decided to pick and choose things I liked from each recipe (or rather, things I already had [...]

Omega-3 for you and me! (Why I like sardines, and you should too)

Outside of my immediate family, I am the only one I know that likes sardines. I think this is a great travesty. Sardines are like magic in a can. You pull that lid off, and your nasal passages are flushed with that delightfully fishy odor that makes your mouth start watering immediately. Sardines spread wondrously [...]

Whereupon I make badly formed improv pasta, giving you all of the gory details

Pseudo-homemade pasta is so amazingly easy to make, it’s disgusting. Actually, it’s rather tasty when done right, but that’s beside the point. Pseudo-homemade past requires two ingredients: pasta, and sauce. So you open up a box of the noodle shape of your choice, dump them in a pot with some water, and boil. Then you [...]

Like the phoenix, Pizza Hut falls into the ashes only to rise again (AKA I’ve been eating too much pizza lately)

So a little while back, myself and several others ordered some pizza. When in the company of a small group of people who want pizza and are a.) almost all unemployed and b.)dislike eating crap, one’s options are limited. Delicious local pizza is a bit too pricey, and, all of us no longer being in [...]

Worst Cheese Platter Ever

Ever had one of those nights when you had some friends over, and you thought to yourself, “The only thing that would make this night better is some cheese!” This visionary moment then leads to the cobbling together of a cheese platter. This sort of thing is disastrous if your fridge looks anything like mine [...]

Dairy and Cheese and Constipation, Oh My! (A Pizza Saga)

Nothing says “Hooray for springtime!” like a hearty dose of constipation. There are many efficient ways to achieve this stopped-up state of being, more then you’d rather me tell you about, in fact. So I shall simply stick to one of the most popular means of getting constipated. That being, of course, eating tasty pizza.
It [...]

BBQ for me and you! Whereupon I write about four different BBQ sauces.

Barbecue sauce is the Sauce of the Gods. Seriously, they roll around in it all day long (it’s not like there’s much of anything better to do, being a god, and all). Were I a god, or a large pile of chicken or pork for that matter, I would also like to roll around in [...]
