Here’s a quick, summery bread recipe that uses beer. (Yes, I’m on a beer-cooking kick. You’ll just have to suffer.) It’s easy to make, and I think it’s ideal for cutting into crouton-sized pieces and dipping into olive oil: 1 1/4 cups lager beer (I suggest Paulaner, […]
Usually I’m the only one in the family who “finds” great, zesty eats. Most of the rest of the clan is too wimpy to even make it on Popeye have sensitive palates and don’t often go for the nuclear fire on the tongue heat in their food. Shoot, PJ often has me set aside […]
The clan gathered at the central Texas White House on Saturday to do all those things that a large group of relatives enjoy while kicking off a new year: Eat, visit, eat, tell fish-story whoppers tales, eat, hold the World Championship in Mexican Train, eat some more, play music, snack, toss the football around […]

(We sometimes skip August, when it’s too hot to fire up the grill.) And you can’t overlook sweet corn […]
As I noted in an earlier post, everybody loves queso. This time of year, however, most people only eat queso as a dip for chips. I suggest you consider it for your Turkey Day feast, or at least for the football snacks you’ll need during the long weekend of gridiron clashes. If you make the […]
It’s not really up to typical Follies level, but there are some smiles (and a chuckle or two) in the news leading up to our favorite diabetic coma inducing holiday event: Halloween. Okay, it’s not our favorite overall; just our favorite in October… Here’s one of the ultimate win-win scenarios you’ll ever see this week. […] |
