I’m Feeling Kinda’ Blue
As in blue cheese, that is. During one of my recent food shopping adventures, I was lucky to find some English Stilton for a very good price. Stilton is one of the family of blue cheeses and as the saying goes, “the stinkier, the better”. I have two dishes for you today, the first being […]
Costolette di Maiale Piccante
Is it just me or do you all have a backlog of dishes you would like to try? Just counting the tagged recipes I have saved, I’m at 156! Nevermind the new dishes I see daily or recipes from a cookbook, magazine or tv show. I have a big problem but I swear, I’ll get […]
Spaghetti and Meatballs
I hope I didn’t traumatize anyone with my photo of my mating cockatiels photo.

For us Greeks in the Diaspora, Good Friday is usually […]

The pub was quieter than usual and that’s fine, it was Valentine’s but half the regulars who didn’t show […]
Seafood Medley With Fusilli Corti Bucati
Looking back at my recent posts, it seems I’m on a seafood kick of late. I’ve been fortunate enough to find some good quality fresh seafood and I recently also found a really good frozen seafood product. For years I’ve seen frozen bags of mixed seafood at the grocery store but the quality was sub-par, […]
Sardines and Such
You see them on the shelves of your grocery store. You see them in the discount bin, you have them in your cellar (a whole case), just in case Armegeddon arrives. You can now have them included in your recipe box. My first experiment with sardine tins came in the fall of 2007 and I […]
