Mmmm Homemade Pizza. featuring Biscuit Dough and Quesadilla Pizza!

Do you ever start thinking about pizza, and just can’t stop? I keep thinking about pizza. Giant flappy slices of super cheesy NY style pizza, to be specific. Not that I’d turn down any other type of pizza, mind you. Or anything with enough cheese on it, for that matter. However, my wallet and I [...]

Salami Day Incoming!

So the truth of the matter is that I’m a bum. Well, maybe not so much the last month or so, when Death Job Schedule has kept me from updating here (incidentally, if it’s not already apparent, I’m back to posting). However, I am a bum in that all those months of previous soul-crushing underemployment, [...]

Guest Post: 2010 Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-a

This week’s guest post is from none other then Drew! Having already earned a year’s supply of Chik-fil-a (as told previously) last winter, you might think that we don’t see a need for additional free chicken. You might think that, but you’d be wrong. We’re always up for free Chik-fil-a! And so, for this year’s [...]

Hot Dogs Are Awesome

Free hot dogs are even better. A few weeks back, we had the fortune to attend Arvada Trails Day, whereupon we walked around in two parks and saw various booths, got a free tote bag, shot a few animals in a hunting simulator, and saw some raptors (of the bird kind, not the dinosaur kind) [...]

Coctel de Camarones: Both Delicious and Shrimptastic

Coctel de camarones is Spanish for “shrimp cocktail”, but it’s quite different than shrimp cocktail. The English-speaking version of shrimp cocktail generally involves giant shrimp which are dipped into a red cocktail sauce – delicious, but primarily an appetizer. Coctel de camarones, however, is a cold soup filled with vegetables and shrimp, sort of like [...]

Casa Bonita: Adventures in Decor and Unappetizing Food

There is a restaurant in Lakewood, a bit west of Denver, called Casa Bonita. It’s a restaurant with a theme-park atmosphere. We’d heard fabulous things about the decor and horrible things about the food. They all turned out to be true. To get the bad things out of the way first, it’s best to start [...]

Sushi! Featuring Seaweed, Avocado On Top, Plus Pacific Mercantile Indulgence

I recently got goaded again into making sushi for a potluck at Drew’s work. This has caused me to become more efficient with the sushi-making itself, as most of it has to get done in the morning before he goes to work. I could always make it the night before, but there’s two problems with [...]

Beau Jo’s Pizza in Arvada, CO

So, in case your head has been under a rock since birth, I would like to inform you that pizza is awesome. We recently had the joy of eating at Beau Jo’s pizza, which is a local pizza chain with several locations in Colorado and other nearby states. We started off with salads from the [...]

In honor of Easter, here’s some tilapia fish tacos

It’s weird how the definition of vegetarianism seems to shift depending on which group you’re talking about. If you’re Buddhist, you might consider garlic and onions to be non-vegetarian. If you’re Catholic, “meatless friday” during Lent means eating fish. Or Capybara (a.k.a. an R.O.U.S.), which was declared to be a fish by the Catholic church [...]

Cook your tofu in the toaster for sushi madness

Recently, I was desperate for sushi. I also had a block of tofu that was desperate to be eaten. And I apparently had a toaster that was desperate to become potentially soy sauce flavored. So I combined all of these factors for beautiful harmony. First, I marinated the tofu. Pretty lazily, as it involved me [...]
