All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it. – Samuel Johnson

Enjoy These Spicy Saltines With Sausage and Cheese

Sometimes you just don’t want a whole meal. You’re not that hungry, or you’re about to go to bed or something. You want to eat a bit, though, maybe what used to be called supper, and you want something that’s flavorful and tasty. Not fattening would be nice too, this time of year.

Fish 4 Friday: Holiday Pepper Shrimp

Shrimp are popular for parties this time of year. You see them on all sorts of snack platters at various functions and celebrations! They make an appearance fried or boiled, peeled or not; with all sorts of sauces, many of them superposable. (That’s the word of the day, just had to get that in there.) [...] Read more »

Month of Eating Dangerously: Shepherd's Pie With an Unusual Twist

The month is off to a good start here in Lake Wobegon South. I’ve found several nice recipes to share with you over the next few weeks. The only issue is, it’s Really Cold here in Texas! (How cold is it?) It’s so cold:

Simon NaNoWriMo Says, More Coffee!

I haven’t drawn to a halt quite yet, but suddenly the going’s quite tough on the NaNoWriMo Challenge. My first two days I got over 21,000 words. Today I got a little less than 5,000. I realize that’s a pretty big day in its own right, and I really only needed 1,500 to maintain pace [...] Read more »

Fish 4 Friday: Shrimp Étouffée

If you watch Emeril Live (and who doesn’t?) you’ve probably seen him make this dish. As a naturalized Cajun, Emeril knows how to make this stuff well! And I learned how from him. After all, we’re bestest buds now that I stood in line for seven hours to get one of his books autographed at [...] Read more »

Fish 4 Friday: Even Easier Jambalaya

Some folks had the audacity to complain mentioned that the Jambalaya I shared way back on October 1 was a little bit difficult to make. Me, I don’t see what the problem is but I decided to share an even easier version. I dug around in the Way Back Stack of Dad’s Chile Cookbook (because [...] Read more »

Fish 4 Friday: Intense Creole Fish Stew

Some Creole dishes are just plain hot. Think about it: “mild” and “habañero” just don’t get used in the same sentence. And as a community service (that means No Charge to You, this time), the basement elves from the Underground’s Department of Soft-Hearted Litigation Avoidance have asked me to warn you: This Stew Uses Habañero [...] Read more »
