F4F: Better Than Thursday Fish!
A strange conversation with my wife comes to the rescue…
I’m trying to find a distinctive sobriquet (get THAT word into your usual Friday night cocktail conversation!) for my fairly regular Thursday posts on fish dishes. I like to get the fish recipe out on Thursday, so anyone who wants fish on Friday will have time [...] Read more »
Thursday Fish: Ancho Chile Fish with Corn and Cream
Most times, I prefer simple recipes over complex. Less to go wrong, and if the ingredients are fresh there will be plenty of flavor. Sometimes, though, I like to pretend I’m a chef and try something a little bit showy or involved.

Best New Products: Baconnaise!
Everybody knows that any dish tastes better with bacon. (Well, anybody from the South, that is.)

Last evening I enjoyed an authentic German meal here in Hyderabad, with a hint of Oktoberfest provided, and in the company of a truly international cast of characters.
It was [...] Read more »
The Devil Made Me Fix It…
Today is my darling brides’ birthday. (I’d tell you how old, but then we’d need a new blog writer for the Underground.) I’ll keep this short; we’ve got places to go and parties to crash!
Here’s a seafood dish for tomorrow, if you’re of the persuasion:
Spicy Shrimp With Red Devil Sauce
At first, the preparation may appear [...] Read more »
660 Curries: What Kind of Spice Blend is Garam Masala?
In my previous post I gave a condensed review of Raghavan Iyer’s “660 Curries,” my favorite cookbook this year (and it’s only half over!). In the next few posts I’ll present some of the recipes I found intriguing. I’ve also chosen items that taught me something.
