Tis the Season: Hearty Party Fare
Now that we’re safely past Thanksgiving week we can forget about eating, right?
Wrong. It’s party season!
School parties, work socials, you name it. You’ll probably have to suffer through go to six or more parties in the run-up to Christmas. More if you have children, or belong to any clubs. You only get out of some [...] Read more »
Spicy Steak: Tenderloin with Poblano Cream Sauce
Tenderloin steak is the queen of beef, in my opinion. (Sirloin is king, for me.) Every now and again I get a huge hankering for tenderloin on the grill.
Problem is, it’s always the same: Marinate, wrap with bacon, season and scorch. That’s it. Meat the Real Man way, minus the stick. Boring.
I won’t ever have [...] Read more »

Real Men Prefer Meat, Grilled, On a Stick
It’s summertime, the best time for Modern Man to relive his Caveman roots. No, I don’t expect you to run out and find a tiger skin to wear; that’s not considered polite, especially to the tigers. You can also leave the hardwood club out of the ensemble.
Although, now that you mention it, you should get [...] Read more »
Get Ready for the Fourth of July!
Summer’s getting along, and it’s almost time to shoot off the fireworks! Only we’ve been so dry there’s a big fireworks ban on. No sparklers, no Roman Candles, no bottle rockets.
Instead, I’m going to cook up a bunch of spicy treats and zesty dishes and let the explosions and spectacular effects happen on the tongue.
Here’s [...] Read more »
Friday Follies X: The Food X-Files
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 [...] Read more »
New Zesty Recipes Available
I just posted a grab-bag of new recipes in the Recipes du Jour section. I’ve also added a Download Vault and moved older stuff in there. So far it’s not a very big collection, but as recipes flow in I’m sure it will grow quickly.
All the recipes I post have a “Heat Rating” on them. [...] Read more »
