I’m really glad there are so many sheep in this country!

Because once this lamb thing catches on, we are going to need every one of them.

I really don't understand why so many Americans refuse to eat lamb.  It has a great flavor, can be cooked medium rare, and isn't horribly expensive.  Almost all of the great cuisines of the world have embraced ...

Last one on the flank steak bandwagon is obviously wearing a pink red sox hat….

So I just did a little research on the interweb and apparently flank steak is now a featured dish at Friday's...  If Guy Fieri thinks it's awesome, well then it has to be, right?  I mean hell, he has a show on Food Network....  Wait, what's that?  WHAT!!!!  Food Network is to food what MTV is ...

Pear Yogurt

Don't worry, this isn't a recipe for how to make homemade yogurt (though I have done that before and it is tasty but to me it wasn't worth the effort).  We had a big container of plain yogurt in the fridge for some Indian food we were making, and we had a lot of extra so I decided to make a ...

Cajun Duck Gumbo

"Laisses Les Bon Temps Roulez" as they say in Louisiana.
Let the Good Times Roll is just what you will do when you try this savory blend of spices and roux with flavorful duck and andouille sausage. It takes time and patience but it is so worth it!

We were fortunate to live in Lafayette, in ...

Lobster Tacos with Chipotle Garlic White Sauce

I know, I know, it probably seems like Texans eat everything in tacos, but before you cast aspersions on our cuisine, let me tell you how this meal came to be. It was one of those Wednesday's, you know the ones, where you're sick and tired of figuring out what to have for dinner and there really ...

Spicy Pork Chops & Cauliflower

This was one of those brainstorm meals that turn out really, really good. We pretty much had scraps of this and that left over from other meals and one last package of wild pork from Texas, but they definitely exceeded the sum of their parts and became an amazing dinner. Normally we're able to ...

Asian Tofu Souffle’

When we first moved to Houston, we were in search of the perfect sushi bar and for over a year we would drive the 30 minutes from our townhouse down Memorial Drive, passed Beltway 8 to Dairy Ashford and there in the corner of a strip center is Sushi Jin, a traditional sushi bar complete with ...

Half sour pickles

I've always loved pickles...the real kind, dill...not their disgusting cousins, the bread and butter. ::shudder:: When I moved to NYC, I discovered half sours and I've never looked back. I couldn't even tell you the last time I bought bottled grocery store pickles, it has certainly been years. ...

Drunken peaches

When it comes to fresh summer produce, it's less about recipes and more about letting their purest nature shine through. With these peaches from a local orchard (http://terhuneorchards.com/), the second best way to eat them (first being straight out of their brown paper bag) was drunken. No, ...

Spicy Ika Salad

John_Houston

Here's another Japanese inspired salad that is too heavily influenced by the large land mass on the east side of the Pacific to be called a sunomono.  Our first experience with something like this came at the hands of a Korean sushi chef on South Padre Island and we have taken ...
