I was cruising that World Wide Web thingie, looking for important regional cooking events to give everybody a heads-up about, when I saw some disturbing news. The International Chili Society will be holding their World Championship Chili Cookoff in Charleston, West Virginia tihs year! Yeah; you read that right. How could they move it [...]
I’ve been reading too much about Irish food; now I’m scared. I don’t mind the meat-and-potatoes aspect of their cuisine. No, it’s the lack of chile peppers that has me concerned. I need to get a two-week supply of capsaicin stored in my fatty tissue muscles! I’m on my way to the store to get [...] This entry is part of a series, Austin Scene» When my wife and I moved back to the Republic after completing our “missionary work” (four years in purgatory proselytizing to the heathens in the wilderness of Michigan, up near Santa’s house somewhere), we lived for a short while way out northwest of the city.

I knew this wouldn’t be a big event (like maybe ZestFest ’08), so I wasn’t worred about getting there early and leaving late; we reversed that, actually. With the beauteous & clever Paula Jo out on point (so I [...] These days, everybody’s working to save the planet. I also work to have good taste. Or at least food that tastes good. (See earlier post on the F-BOM.) Well, you can’t say I’m not doing my part. Shoot, I even invented a chili verde that’s guaranteed to support the effort. I mean, it’s definitely green! That [...] So the weekend’s upon us, and you want to get out of the house. After all, the honey-do list is overwhelming, the kids are hanging around now that school’s out, and there’s a whole wonderful world waiting for you out there. Of course, with gas prices like they are, you can’t go far, but maybe [...] |
