Easy Dinner

Very easy for me since someone else cooked it. We had dinner at our neighbours last night. Clif made his honey garlic baby back ribs and he also did a dry version with garlic and rosemary for me. He knows that I don’t like sweet sauces on my ribs. How good a neighbour is that!!!…

Decadent Brownies made more Decadent.

I saw a picture of a brownie on Tastespotting and Foodgawker that was topped with white chocolate. Apparently the recipe was one of Dorie Greenspan’s. I decided to make brownies tonight using my own Decadent Brownie recipe and just add even more chocolate. I chopped up about 6 ounces of Callebaut milk Chocolate and added…

Just for Moe

I was out for lunch with a friend and just wasn’t hungry tonight. So I grilled Moe a New York Strip and baked him a potato. I think that he would be happy if I made him a baked potato every day.

Buttermilk Biscuits

I’m not sure which I like best. Sweet Scones or Savory Buttermilk biscuits. You can adjust them both to suit your own taste. With scones you can add your favourite fruit and with biscuits you can leave them plain or add different herbs and cheeses. This morning I went with buttermilk biscuits adding fresh chives…
