I’ll keep this one Short and, uhhh, well; Sweet isn’t exactly right…
Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. That’s a soup bowl. With side dishes. In a restaurant.
Said restaurant is to remain anonymous, I hope…

Recipe Testing Update
With all the Hatch chiles available, I just had to try them with some of the recent recipes I’ve posted. You know, just checking to see that they still work as advertised…

Restaurant Review: Gumbo’s Louisiana Style Café

Nashville Paleta Queens Kick Bobby Flay in the Popsicle
As a kid growing up in Texas, we lived on home-make Popsicles. We had no air conditioning, but we did have a freezer and Kool-Aid. (Or at least some knockoff of that sweet beverage.)
Four kids and 100 degree days; we ate those frozen treats like Kirstie Allie stoking up for a stint as a one-woman [...] Read more »
