Paella
This weekend was relaxing and uneventful, which is pretty much how I like my weekends to be. I didn’t do much cooking, but I did a little baking experimenting which you will have to comeback to read about later. I went fishing around in my drafts to see what I sitting around half done. I…
Marinara Clam Sauce Over Linguine
Yesterday I needed dinner on the table stat! We were going to Wednesday night church service and I had not planned ahead. I didn’t defrost anything or think of using my crockpot. To top it off I started on dinner a little late because I was yacking on the phone. I quickly decided that the easiest…
Crispy Indian Spiced Yogurt Chicken
Hey this ain’t no shake-n-bake! Do you remember shake-n-bake? Do they still sell shake-n-bake? And, no I am not making any reference to the movie Talladega Nights. This is not Ricky Bobby here. My mother went through a shake-n-bake phase when I was a kid…..man am I glad that is over. I have been on…

Coconut and Pineapple Chicken Curry over Rice Noodles
There was a time that I hated curry. In fact I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. The first time that I tried chicken curry I was 22 or 23 years old living in Washington, DC. I worked close to Le’fant Plaza which has a sort of underground food court. It was on…
Lazy Saturday Morning
The Saturday morning ritual I think is a sacred one. It is the one day that we do not have to get up early for any reason. We don’t have work, church and we do our best not to schedule anything in the morning. The idea is to sleep in, lounge on the couch while…
Kitchen Sink Cookies (AKA Spring Cleaning, Royale or Ranger Cookies)
I call these cookies Kitchen Sink Cookies, not because I make them in the kitchen sink but because they have everything you want in a cookies. You know how that goes. I have heard many other names for these cookies like, Ranger Cookies, Cookies Royale and Spring Cleaning Cookies. They are close to an Oatmeal Chocolate Chip…
