Coming Soon: The Unembellished Truth

Dec. 22, 2009 7:42 pm

Updated: Dec. 27, 2009 3:19 pm

I decided to become a food writer, a journalist if you will-for the world I have been a part of for three decades. I came to the conclusion that I am getting older and the current path has taken a toll on my feet, my back, my knees, my sanity and my liver, so I figured the evolution of my… MORE

Good Cook or Great Chef?

Dec. 19, 2009 2:25 pm

Updated: Dec. 21, 2009 1:07 pm

I knew when I decided to write about this topic I would probably offend a whole lot of people and have death threats made against me. But in my endless drive to educate the unenlightened proletariat on the truth and madness of the restaurant/ foodservice industry, I had to express myself… MORE

Olive Garden's Tuscan Garlic Chicken made light

Nov. 30, 2009 8:24 pm

Updated: Dec. 1, 2009 2:51 pm

I saw the original Olive Garden recipe and it sounded delicious. Then I started looking a little closer--11/2 cups of flour, a full pound of fettuccine, 5 tbsp of oil, 2 cups of heavy cream, a full cup of cheese. OH MY GOD! As many of you know, Weight Watchers uses a point system to help member MORE

Thanksgiving and the Louis Armstrong Joke that Crashed

Nov. 29, 2009 11:35 am

Updated: Dec. 1, 2009 10:03 am

So, foodie friends, how was your Thanksgiving? My blog here has been woefully neglected while I cooked up a whopping storm of holiday favorites. That animated film Cloudy with Meatballs could hardly compete with the Marmaduke household over the last three days! There was herb-butter turkey, sa MORE

Where are the turkey sales? How much a lb?

Nov. 17, 2009 11:07 am

Updated: Nov. 23, 2009 5:14 pm

Winco has a deal that if you purchase $50.00 in groceries you can purchase a turkey for .26lb a pound. I just purchased a 27 pounder. I hope it will fit in my roaster. The total cost is only a little over $7. I'm going to find many ways to make this bird stretch. I love congratulating myself on… MORE

The Bad and Good of The Chain Restaurant

Nov. 15, 2009 6:27 pm

Updated: Dec. 14, 2009 8:53 pm

There are a lot of good things to say about dining out in a chain restaurant, and there are a lot of dreadful things as well. Let’s start with the good. Let me think…oh yeah-average, lackluster food and automaton service with too much ennui. Now don’t get me wrong, the service… MORE

Updated: Nov. 3, 2009 6:06 pm

I was so bummed earlier. I had written my entire blog to have it disappear. (What I didn't realize then was that it was all for good reason)I knew I wanted to wait until I had something special to share before starting to blog and what could be more special than my fifth anniversary with my… MORE

This post is for Jomamma. I saw your comment to one of my posts. I'm not sure how to write you back directly, especially as I am weeks late in getting back to you, but maybe you'll read this. Jomamma's dilemma is this: Clients bring Jomamma lots of fresh produce. … MORE

Hopefully this will work this time...I originally had this post on my web-site www.dinnercoach.com and have tried to C&P, but not finding it to work out smoothly. Hopefully this text will do the trick. ----------------------- I'm editing it now and nothing I posted seems to work. I know some MORE

Teriyaki Sauce

Aug. 18, 2009 4:47 pm

Updated: Aug. 18, 2009 4:58 pm

The restaurant I mentioned yesterday makes their own teriyaki sauce every night. I asked the owner, Phillip, how they made it and it seems that theirs is much like this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Teriyaki-Sauce-2/Detail.aspx?strb=1 He said they boil it before they leave for the MORE
