National Peanut Butter Day

March 1 is National Peanut Butter Day. In order to celebrate properly I brought one of my fifteen boxes of Girl Scout Peanut Butter Patties.

Proper ad placement, Burger King edition

A week ago I did a post on the new Burger King ad.  It just kinda struck me as misguided and sophomoric.  A lot of people agreed with me.  Great concept for a porn flick, bad for traditional advertising.    Which all this threw me back a while, to June 21, 2006 to be exact.  Gotta wait for the fuzzy wavy… (more…)

Sex and food

In a Seinfeld episode, George comes to the realization that sex is profoundly better while eating.  Food, that is.  He starts sneaking sandwiches and stuff into bed for special occasions.  I’ve never gone that route.  Maybe some chocolate sometimes adds a little something.  But a sandwich?  Never.  I have just never really thought sex and food go together well. Now,… (more…)

Who’s eating Keri Russell?

That’s Keri Russell. Wouldn’t you just love to eat her up?  I know I would.  I’m quite certain Armin Meiwes would as well.  Who’s Armin Meiwes you ask?  Oh, do let me tell you about Armin Meiwes. Armin Meiwes is the fella that thought it would be nifty to eat someone.  So, he cruised the internet looking for someone to… (more…)

Spacetofill HAD to ask…. What’s a migas?

So Storm HAD to answer: Migas are a Mexican breakfast meal (they were apparently made "mainstream" in south Texas when former Gov. Anne Richards frequented a restaurant in Austin every Saturday to have them for breakfast).  Basically, its a scrambled egg combo using tortillas (there is no written recipe here…its largely by taste and feel). 2-10" tortillas (we’ve been using… (more…)

JALAPENO CHICKEN

Another recipe from Stormwarning.  This guy likes to cook!  For lunch I cooked my specialty, frozen pizza.  I’m quite certain Storm’s Jalapeno Chicken is much better! 1 dead chicken (no kidding!), cleaned, cut up, with the skin and fat pulled off MARINADE:1/2 c. (more or less) juice from pickled jalapenos1 dash cayenne pepper sauce2 tbsp. finely chopped jalapenosEnough water to… (more…)

Grilled Beef Fajitas

I made this twice in the last two weeks. Makes 6 to 8 servings 2 pounds beef skirt steaks (or brisket cut in thin strips) 2/3 cup Kikkoman Soy Sauce ¼ cup lime juice 10 flour tortillas Butter or margarine, softened Pico de Gallo (below) Dairy sour cream (optional, only if you like California style Mexican food) Cut steaks crosswise… (more…)

Pollo Kai

My buddy Storm has sent me more food!  ( Digital that is, Mrs. Moon needs to make the assist and fix it for me! )  Check this out folks, it sounds GOOD! Pollo Kai (a/k/a Sweet & Sour Chicken) – serves 4 Ingredients for Fried Chicken 4 boneless chicken cutlets 1-2 eggs Progresso Italian seasoned bread crumbs Oil 1.    … (more…)

Cephalopod stories

An internet pal pointed me to this kind of bizarre tale about squid.  Well, it’s not about squid per se, but they are in the story.  That reminded me of two rather bizarre tales of my own about squid, or cephalopds in general. The first, and lamest, was when I was working in Guadalajara, Mexico.  Now,  Guadalajara is REAL Mexico. … (more…)

Jimmy Dean Sausage Cornbread Stuffing

Now, folks, I’m pretty sure I’ve had this before.  When I was attending UK, it was a staple at the tailgate parties.  It sticks to your bones, and keeps you warm.  Perfect outdoor food, especially during winter.  This one is also courtesy of Stormwarning.  I am thoroughly convinced at this point that he is the only chef here.  That’s an… (more…)
