I told Moe that his  breakfast this morning was really  an act of love. Cooking a Dungeness crab, hand picking out the meat, making a homemade Hollandaise Sauce isn’t something that happens often around here. Last night, a friend of ours, Bud, the same friend that raises the big roasting chickens,  gave us a fresh…

I’m boring when it comes to pizza.  I tend  to stick a few of the more traditional toppings, like, pepperoni or Italian sausage, sauted mushrooms and maybe olives.     Moe is happy with whatever I make, but he also enjoys a few other toppings that I don’t care for.   Last night I  made…

  I’m an early riser.  Usually up between 5 am and 6 am.  I don’t leave for work until around 9:30 so I have a lot of time to kill.   Yesterday morning I decided to bake something.  Pineapples were on sale this week for $2.97.  Beautiful ripe golden pineapples.   What better to bake than a…

Lori of All That Splatters is hosting this week’s Saturday Blog Showcase.   My contribution this week is a recipe that I actually found on Lori’s Blog – Homemade Hamburger/Hot Dog Buns. I had nothing planned for dinner yesterday so I stopped at the grocery store on the way home from work and hoped for…

I roasted a chicken for dinner last night. It was huge.  It was just under 10 pounds.  Looked more like a small turkey  compared to the little three pound chickens I normally roast. The chicken was given to us by a friend who raises meat birds.  It has been a while since I’ve seen such…

  Those that know me are aware that I don’t like leftovers. (With a few exceptions).   Last night’s dinner though was a remake of the stuffed zucchini we had the night before.  We both really enjoyed that dinner so  I stuffed a couple of more zucchini with the  leftover pork/rice filling and made my version…

  I was totally out of homemade bread.  So, I decided to get a little ahead of the game this week. Monday, I kneaded up a double batch, baked four baguettes and refrigerated the other half to use later this week.  I’ll probably bake a pizza  and a couple of more loaves between now and…

I was thinking of making Chicken Souvlaki for dinner last night but came upon a recipe for another kabob – a Lebanese version on Chicho’s Kitchen. Along with the recipe for the Shish Taouk there was also a recipe for the most wonderful garlicky sauce to serve with the chicken. I marinaded the chicken all…

We had dinner last night at our next door neighbours.  Dinner was simple, just lots and lots of King Crab. No sides. Just the way we like it.   A real crab feast.    I decided about 8:15 am yesterday morning that maybe I should make a dessert.  I’d seen a picture somewhere of a Sugar…
