Who is going to The Souper Bowl ?

Jan. 18, 2013 7:29 am

Updated: Jan. 24, 2013 1:13 pm

There is a reason that the Oddsmakers in Las Vegas love me so much and my more than slightly inaccurate prognostications last weekend were a prime example of why. After predicting (not publicly and indeed well after the fact) all four wildcard games correctly the previous weekend, I only got… MORE

Celebrating Healthier Meals

Jan. 16, 2013 1:10 pm

Updated: Jan. 23, 2013 4:46 pm

Every year I let my guard down around Thanksgiving and Christmas and over-indulge...in sweets, in portion sizes, and in way too many carbs like breads and potatoes. So come January, I have to get back on the healthier eating band wagon. My last blog was about making three different kinds of… MORE

Gameday Mac & Mex - The Super Bowl Challenge

Jan. 16, 2013 5:14 am

Updated: Feb. 13, 2013 6:56 pm

The game was deep into the 4th quarter when the doorbell rang. I hadn't been expecting anybody so I was both curious & annoyed to be pulled away from the television at this crucial stage of the game. When I opened the door I was handed a pizza by a delivery guy who turned away quickly without… MORE

Hey! Where'd My Breakfast Go?!?

Jan. 11, 2013 6:13 am

Updated: Jan. 19, 2013 10:40 am

When my girls were wee babes, I made breakfast for them every morning. It was always simple fare. I usually made dry cereal with milk for them. Sometimes they'd get a piece of fruit and often they would be offered a glass of orange juice. Occasionally I would make eggs and bacon with toast for… MORE

I remember watching my mother cook meals and bake with ease as I grew up, and thought to my self I hope I get that gift when I grow up. Well I do have to say my mother is an excellent baker, she can throw together "a little bit of that, a little bit of this" to make an awesome pie, cookies,… MORE

That's PENWiT, Dear. PENWiT.

My wife, Mrs. Doc, or She Who Must Be Obeyed, and I are normally great communicators. She speaks and I do. It's quite simple. The only thing I really have to say (for the sake of survival) is, "Yes, dear!" It isn't quite as simple as I am posing it here. The simple phrase, "Yes, dear!" must… MORE

The National Food-ball League Divisional Playoffs

Jan. 8, 2013 11:06 am

Updated: Jan. 15, 2013 4:25 pm

It’s that time of year again. The playoffs have started in the National Food-ball League and this week it’s the Divisional Playoff Round. I have to admit that life got in the way of my previewing the Wild Card Round but when you think about, the dishes that were eliminated (Cincinnati Chili,… MORE

Estrogen Food Help

Jan. 7, 2013 5:19 pm

Updated: Jan. 10, 2013 11:30 pm

I've discovered I might be going thru peri-menopause and my estrogen levels are low. I came across an article today that recommended foods that boost estrogen levels. Thought this might be helpful to other women experiencing the same symptoms as I am, fatigue, exhaustion, dry skin, dizziness,… MORE

... or How I Sold My Soul For A Catchy, Misspelled Turn Of Words! Hopefully none of you will catch whatever it is that made me spell the title of this post like that. It would have rhymed anyway! This was totally unnecessary! Well, I must say that Chef John has impressed the daylights out of me… MORE

Injustice Confronted!

Jan. 5, 2013 10:00 am

Updated: Jan. 12, 2013 5:24 pm

I was just going over some recipes from other people here on AR and noticed a trend of sad neglect. It is a neglect that cannot go unaddressed. It cannot be left in the dark. I have a voice, and I have the light of food righteousness. No longer can I sit back and allow the chicken wing tip… MORE
