The Meatball Experiment
So…..these could be really good……….or really bad! I’ve gone off the reservation and off the recipe trail and am attempting something…. The meatball mix is sitting- and by meatball mix, I mean a mix of pork and veal mince, a few red chillies, half a green capsicum, 2 eggs, grated carrot, some white wine, parmesean…

I’m back?
So it’s been a while since I’ve written anything and I do have to apologise. I haven’t really been myself lately. Sadly I’ve been writing obituaries instead of cooking blogs and talking to people more about death and dying than what I’m cooking this week. In fact, I haven’t really been cooking at all, or…

The last supper
So it’s my last night in DC which brings a flood of emotions but it also brings a last dinner out. Tonight’s last supper was at Lauriol Plaza, Sister restaurant to Cactus Cantina. I love mexican food and cactus/lauriol is the best mexican food. In fact, if I ever wind up on death row I…

Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine!
So, here we are about to embark on today’s epic challenge- and it became epic when I decided to do a main, two sides, and bake a cake. I’m not sure why either but clearly the excitement took over. I came back from the store and my mom was making turkey soup, further adding to…

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions….
I used to be indecisive, now I’m not so sure…. I feel like that’s the theme of the day. Seriously, I can’t decide what to cook. I’m tossing up whether to make a dessert- and whether to do Eggnog pie or chocolate chip cake. I can’t decide on a main course either- seafood casserole, crab…
