Sweet-Hot Grilled Chicken Satay

By on August 2, 2014

Thai-Style Spicy Mussels

By on July 19, 2014

Last week was “classic” mussels, let’s mix it up with a not-so-classic Thai style –  a little One Night in Bangkok after your April in Paris.  A little sweet, a little spicy – coconut milk, pineapple, fresh ginger, lime and hot hot serrano peppers – what’s not to love….

Sauté chopped shallot,…

Classic Steamed Mussels with Buttered Crusty Bread

By on July 11, 2014

This one’s easy as all get-out (well, mostly) and a real crowd pleaser.   The ‘mostly’ refers to de-bearding the mussels which can take some time. Otherwise a snap.  

In a pot or dutch oven, lightly sauté chopped shallot and garlic in a nice pour of olive oil and…

The Wing Post

By on June 14, 2014

Ok so finally here’s the wing post.  There’s really no reason to have wings delivered for a game.  They lose any crispy crunch – and nobody wants depressing, deflated rubbery nubs.  Boooo!  

Dry wings off thoroughly.  Ideally, spread uncovered on a cookie sheet and slide into the bottom shelf of…

Where you at, Pimento Cheese?
