Ramen Reprise: How to Make Healthy Instant Noodles at Home

A couple months back, the Chile Underground declared Asian Noodles Month; it was an instant hit. (Don’t groan! Okay, go ahead, you need it.) However, some visitors were a little concerned that some of the instant noodle varieties weren’t very healthy. While I think they’re better than certain fast food meals I could name (but [...] Read more »

Spicy Italian: Short Rib Ragu with Pappardelle

It’s been downright cold around here the past few days (although warming up today). Shoot, it was down in the high fifties a couple days ago, with rain. Yes, rain! Our two Goldens (Sonia and Whiskey) didn’t quite know what to make of it. Sonia wanted to stay on the porch, and Whiskey kept running [...] Read more »

Fish 4 Friday: Zesty Grilled Shrimp with Roasted Pepper Aioli

Shrimp are strange little creatures. They spend their whole life crawling around on the bottom of the ocean, scavenging anything they can find. They eat anything, as if they’re the chickens of the sea (Sorry, Charlie)…
No, wait. Wrong blog! This is the food thingie, right? With chiles and all? Got it. I was momentarily confusing [...] Read more »

Ceci con la Tria? Didn’t I Date Her in High School?

There’s probably some deadly-sounding clinical name for that malady where you get food items confused with the names of old girlfriends. If not, there should be. I finally determined that my little black book was making me fat over optimum weight, so I had to give it to my best buddy toss it away. Besides, [...] Read more »

Fish 4 Friday: Cioppino, the Greatest Italian Dish Ever Invented in America

This week’s Fish 4 Friday feature was a tough choice. I had absolutely no idea where I was going to get a spicy Italian fish recipe so many choices that I was nearly overwhelmed. Or at least I was strongly whelmed. Then I remembered that Google thingie something I’d seen in my Web research that [...] Read more »

If You Have Too Many Tomatoes And You Don’t Really Want to Cook, Have We Got a Deal for You

It’s late summertime, and your garden is in full-blown “let’s get busy burying these guys in produce” mode. Especially the tomatoes. You’re tired of canning them, you’ve eaten so many you have acid blisters on the inside of your lips, and your family is threatening revolt if you make One More Tomato Salad for dinner [...] Read more »

Fish 4 Friday: Tonno alla Calabrese

Somehow, Italian food’s gotten a bad rap in most American kitchens. I guess I can see where some of that’s come from. After all, who doesn’t like pasta with a red sauce? Or a creamy Alfredo? And lasagna, with lots of cheese and meat sauce. Okay, I’ll even give you pizza, although that’s decidedly not [...] Read more »

Book of the Month: Mediterranean Hot and Spicy

Let’s start Spicy Italian Month off right by reviewing a cookbook full of zesty recipes from the Mediterranean. Yes, you guessed it (or maybe you didn’t): Mediterranean Hot and Spicy, by Aglaia Kremezi. This slickly produced, recently released volume, published by Broadway Books, has pictures, stories and above all, tasty recipes collected and tested by [...] Read more »
