Where does it come from? Probably this guy:

Yes, a certain Mr. Alton Brown. Anyone who's caught more than a few episodes of his landmark TV show, Good Eats, knows what I'm talking about. It's part sketch comedy, part Mr. Wizard-style food science, part cooking show and a blast to watch. Shauna and I have been […]

Going out of town can sometimes be a pain in the rear. I spent the 12th through 16th in fabulous Omaha, coming back to a desk full of more work than I knew what to do with. This was no vacation either: I spent two days in travel and each of the other days working […]

Last night, Jesse and I checked out a restaurant we've heard some good things about: Royal India . It's in Sandy in the same shopping center as Smith's. I was a little reluctant at first because it's one of those strip mall restaurants. And from the outside, there's nothing remotely remarkable about it.
Once inside, I […]

Work took me back to Texas, this time to the near-Gulf metropolis of Houston. I was pretty eager to partake of a city known for its great dining and fresh seafood with plenty of Texas flair. The city itself was less than comfortable. Non-stop rain produced stifling humidity, the kind that fogs your glasses when […]

If you've never been to a Moroccan restaurant before, you have no idea how much you're missing out. North African cuisine is very under-represented and yet is some of the tastiest stuff you'll ever eat. Fragrant and spicy without sending you running for another glass of water, this soup is even good during a summer […]

Yesterday was shopping day, our fridge looking about as empty and pathetic as a fridge can. While out, we ran across a peach of a deal: Ball Park all-beef hot dogs for a dollar a package. We decided to stock up on them since we've been thinking about having a BBQ this summer and hot […]

This has been a favorite of mine since a roommate showed me how to make it many years ago. It's simple, delicious and works well for leftovers. Bear in mind that most amounts here are approximations since I don't really follow a recipe.

No, you didn't read that title incorectly: corn makes for some serious politics. One of America's most prolific foodstuffs is at the core of everything from fuel prices to obesity to immigration. How is it that a single crop has managed to wind its way into so many seemingly diverse issues? An exploration into […]

It's barely even a mouthful, but oh so good. I'm hoping that some of the tiny berries will give way to larger ones later in the season.

Work-related travel had me spending the latter half of the week in the Lone Star State, a river away from both a foreign country and another state. El Paso looks a lot like pretty much any other town in any other border state, a dry desert with equally spare-looking mountains. True to form, it was […]
