Got Modern Kids? Then Give Them the Ketchup They Crave

Kids these days. I’ll tell you. They are not only the same picky eaters that your parents accused you of being, they want stuff you never considered. Like spicy food. Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, all with plenty of zing on the tongue. Even school lunchrooms are paying attention to the trends in spicy and zesty. (Not [...] Read more »

Fish 4 Friday: Red Snapper Veracruz

Time to take a short break from the grill. (Well, sort of.) I noticed in the store the other day that red snapper was available at a good price, and that got me to thinking. PJ likes snapper, usually stuffed with something like crab. But putting the fish into a nice sauce is also a [...] Read more »

August BOM: The Healthy College Cookbook

Ah, college eats. Pizza. Beer. (For some, at least.) Sub sandwiches. Pop-Tarts. Hamburgers and hot dogs, if you’re really living well. Canned chili. Ramen noodles. Microwave burritos.

The Bachelor Brigade Does Chicken (and More)

After a long week sweating over a hot research project, I was ready to kill and grill something. Deric and Kai had spent the day moving dead trees and burning them, so they had mostly gotten their Real Man requirements done. Especially the burning something dead.

Monday Mildies: Braised Pork Chops

Grilling isn’t the only way to prepare tasty pork chops. It may be the oldest, and I would argue grilling gives the best flavor. However, sometimes you don’t have a grill handy. Or it’s busted. (Send immediately for help, of course.) Or you live where the environmental regulations won’t let you grill. Whatever the excuse [...] Read more »

Grilled Goodies Redux: Orange-Ginger Pork Chops

Deric is learning how to cook. He’s one of the latest additions to the Clan, as he was adopted a couple years back. He’s spending the summer at the Ranch, working and learning. He wants to know everything about cooking! Unfortunately, he wants to know it all before morning. (I’m that good, just not that [...] Read more »

Fish 4 Friday: A Very Easy Way to Make Fish Taste Good

Hey Kids! What Time Is It? It’s time to bake fish, that’s what time it is. (Fooled you with that one, eh? You gotta keep up hereabouts or you’ll get left way behind.) Of course you can grill fish, but this time we’re going to bake the stuff. In case you hadn’t heard, it’s poring [...] Read more »

Yet More Guac: Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole

Okay, maybe this IS “Celebrate Marcus Samuelsson’s Genius With the Avocado Week” or something. I found another way to turn the funny-looking fruit (I mean the avocado here) into a superbly tasty version of the National Dish of Texas. (No, I don’t mean chili; it’s way too hot to be talking cooking here.) Lo and [...] Read more »
