Turkey tails! I spotted these in the frozen meat section of my local grocery store. Since I’m a big fan of tails, I thought I would do something with these tails. Originally I thought of smoking or frying them, but I stumbled on an idea on the internet that sounded really great. Adobo turkey tails!…

Recipe: Cheese-Mayo Baked Mussels
Baked mussels is a mainstay of many Asian menus and buffets. We had some leftover black mussels from our seafood broth experiment and I decided to use them to make cheese baked mussels. I used the an internet recipe as a guide to making the mayo sauce since I didn’t have any Kewpie mayo on-hand….
New lessons in broth making
As part of a New Year’s eve feast, we went with lobster for our meal. Unfortunately, pre-cooked lobster = fail. The man didn’t have much time to go hunt down fresh live lobster and settled for the cheap $$ frozen lobster he found at Kroger. Unless you plan on using the lobster meat as some…
A week of Christmas feasting
Four days before Christmas (Saturday): crock pot whole wheat lasagna with beef and sage pork sausage. It cooked perhaps a little too long with not enough sauce. Luckily, we had jars of sauce to make additional batches to ladle on. Remember to add some sugar, spice and cinnamon for an added kick! Sunday: Smoked turkey…
Recipe: Asparagus Spinach Leek Soup…or quite simply Spring Soup
I haven’t posted a recipe in a quite awhile, but the ingredients in this soup include some of my fave veggies: asparagus, spinach, and leeks! I discovered my taste for asparagus soup after a recent dinner at Greenz in Addison, who served up a creamy, yet refreshing version of this. My recipe is a modified…
An attempt at maja blanca
I had a bag of frozen corn in the freezer, a can of coconut milk in the pantry, and a box of rice flour. I strived to make some maja blanca maiz this weekend but ended up with a cold dessert with the consistency of pudding. The maja blanca of my childhood possessed the firmness…
Recipe: Shredded Lamb with Brussel Sprouts and Red Onions
I made a fabulous dish out of some raw food that had been aging in my fridge. Glad I finally got around to it; the brussel sprouts had begun to yellow, and the lamb had been defrosting for nearly a week. I stir-fried all of the ingredients for this yummy good dish. 1.5 lb sliced…
Best. Turkey. Ever.
My 2011 Thanksgiving turkey turned out to be a winner. I thought I wanted a fried turkey this year, but ended up throwing this bird onto the Weber grill to smoke for nearly 3 hours. Initially, I started with one bank of coals; but when I saw that temperatures weren’t rising after the first hour,…
Brisket accomplished
I got up later than planned on Saturday, around 8am. Which set me back on time to do the brisket bbq. I needed to stop by Home Depot to pick up a temperature gauge for our trusty old Weber kettle…and it was a purchase that paid off. Initially, we were out of smaller options of…
Brisket challenge 2011
For the past several weekends, perfectly smoked brisket continues to elude us. Regardless of cut or size, we still undercook or cook the brisket too fast. This current weekend we purchased a whole, untrimmed brisket from Kroger’s at 1.99/lb. Weighing in at under 10lbs, we put the behemoth (our biggest attempt yet out of 5…
