There’s no drink like punch for the Holidays…
Actually, I’m already tired of the “standard” party punch. Even mulled or spiced wines don’t excite me much anymore. Yeah, they’re good. They’re just everywhere. And there’s still more than two weeks to Christmas…

Here in Texas, we like our shrimp. Large, fresh shrimp are available most of the year, and some of the best can be found during the Holidays party season.

You want to have a great Thanksgiving this year? Then make as much stuff as you can now! Include a couple of novel condiments for the table:
Cranberry Kumquat Chutney
Zesty Olive Tapenade
Don’t settle for the same, boring ol’ cranberry sauce this year! Make a fruit chutney instead. Your relatives will forgive you. [...]

Thanksgiving‘s just around the corner, so to speak. Today’s the last day of the college football season for some teams, and that’s a more pressing issue for most of us. Almost no football left!
What to serve to the screaming hordes who are coming over to watch the game on your 112-inch flat-screen plasma TV? (You [...]

You’ve gathered the utensils and spent time in the kitchen experimenting screaming and sucking your burned thumb to make all the wonderful Thai dishes you want to share. Time to eat!
Get some tea and coffee going, if you like to have them. The tea is consumed, hot or cold, with the meal. Thai coffee can [...]
