Chillin’ at the Thai Basil

So Asian restaurants in Denver are awesome. This is because pretty much every Chinese place I’ve eaten in thus far also has Vietnamese and Thai food. Which makes it significantly more difficult for me to default to my usual sesame chicken at such places, as it conflicts with my desperate desire to eat red curry [...]

Yellow Sour Curry Burninating

I haven’t made curry in awhile. Which is a shame, as curry is a delightful thing to make. Well, this past Christmas, since I love asking for food, I got, amongst other things, a bunch of cans of curry paste. I still had a surplus of curry paste from last Christmas that I’ve been too [...]

Quesadillas Are Awesome

So I used to be super into grilled cheese sandwiches back in the day. Still am, mind you, but not to the extent that I was when I was, say, 9 years old. As I grew older, I started moving away from the traditional American “cheese in a plastic wrapper with white bread” versions, experimenting [...]

Freaking awesome Indian food from Yak & Yeti

Despite my prolific desires to cook everything and anything I hear about that sounds even remotely appetizing, it does not necessarily mean that others want to eat what I cook. Specifically, I speak of parents. Drew and I were both recently inundated with visits from parentals, and both visiting sets preferred to eat out rather [...]

Excite your burger with roasted chili peppers!

There are roasted chili stands everywhere. Well, not “everywhere”, but it’s hard to go on any decent length of drive without seeing someone selling roasted chilis*. Not too long ago, we were at the Mile High Market where roasted chili stands were even more abundant. So I caved and bought some. Only $1! Being the [...]

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 [...]
