Bastardized Indian Bread Food
If you know me, you know that I never bake. Baking is as much science (chemistry, especially) as it is an art, and we don’t get along so well – Screw up a step (which I’m good at) and there’s…
Grilled Tequila Fajitas
Fajita time! It’s also Weber Season. So, we can cook all of the main dish on the grill, not counting any sides you might want. Good fajitas have a robust flavor, and here a little tequila kicks it up a…
Da Tomato Curry
So, this is more or less making a stand-alone version of the curry from the Curry-Stuffed Toast I posted recently, because I liked it so much. (If you missed that, it was a savory French-style toast with curry and home-made cheese…
Curry-stuffed Savory Toast
To tempt you to read futher this is where we’re going today: savory Indian toast stuffed with a tomato-chicken curry and home-made paneer

“Mozzarella in a Carriage“. Earlier this week, I came across a reference to this, with two sentences to the effect of, “In Italy they make French toast with mozzarella in between two slices of bread, then fried. Sometimes it’s served with…

If you’re like me, you grew up with Jiffy cornbread. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – Jiffy is cheap, easy, and tasty. All three of which are total ‘wins’ in my book. On the other hand, there’s a…
Pinto Bean Relish
This started as a relish for my Santa Maria Tri-Tip but really has a life of it’s own. As mentioned, it goes great as a BBQ topper, or just as a stand-alone side dish. Its Mexican-American “cowboy food” and in…
Japanese Curry, or What to do with that box of S&B Golden Curry you just bought
This is kind of a departure for me, as I’m writing about a box of stuff that you buy at a store. In my defense though, it’s a box of curry paste that, although the integral ingredient is probably not…
La-La-La-La-La-Lasagna
For some reason it seems like a lot of people fear lasagna. I have some theories, but I’ll reserve them for a minute. Lasagna is, at the root, pretty simple. There are variations on how many layers, and the like,…
Katsu! (Gesundheit!)
No really. It’s not as odd as it sounds. If you’ve ever had a German schnitzel or an Italian Milanesa this wouldn’t be that far off. That’s because the roots of katsu comes directly from these European dishes – a…
