Living on the Gulf Coast, oysters are a way of life. Grilled, raw, fried, baked, I love em. We have a few local restaurants here that when I go, I gotta get their style of oyster. At the Original Oyster House it’s grilled oysters. At Wintzells it’s raw. At Zea, it’s all about the Asian sesame fried…
The classic roast beef po boy. Tender beef, gravy, the fixins, and french bread. Is that what makes a good po boy? In a word, no, not entirely. Sure, it makes a po boy, and you need it for a good one, but the real judge is how many napkins you need when you eat…
Love the link parties. Always have. That is how I’ve found most of my favorite blogs over the years. Before I started this blog though, I never really understood what it did for the blogger. I was on the other side, just enjoying the link ups, seeing what people were eating and making.…
Faux Jack In The Box Tacos? Ridiculous sounding, I know. But yeah, it’s a part of my life, a delicious one I want to share with you. Maybe you’ve found yourself in the same disheartening situation as I did… When I was younger, I would smash my face into Jack In The Box tacos every…
I love cool foods in the summer. Conch ceviche, shrimp, salads, and now this gorgeous beet and goat cheese stack. There was this one time, I was in Key West, actually it was only three months ago. I was in Key West and believe it or not, I had no idea where to go eat…
Got dishwasher stink? Let’s talk about the good (there is nothing good), the bad, and the solution to my dishwasher stink. I gotta tell you about how I got my dishwasher and dishes to stop stinking. Because I tried it all. I’ll give you a bit of background because I never could figure out why…
I’ll tell you something about me. I’m a T-shirt addict. I have a million of them, in all colors, with all kinds of logos, sayings, whatever. Sometimes I like to hit up a second hand store just to browse their T-shirts – and believe me, they have some doozies! I give blood for the T-shirt.…
This is the go to burger at my house. I’m not sure how we came up with this, but if I had to guess it probably involved wine and me and the wife’s typical food conversations. It’s really the only burger we make around on the regular as we aren’t huge fans of ground beef.…
I love salsa. No, I mean I love salsa. Truly. I guess it’s a theme in my kitchen, because again, I’ll say that this is “the one”. I’m obsessive when it comes to the food I eat often. I don’t have OCD. I have “IWTPFWIWI” – I want the perfect food when I want it.…
Opelousas you say? Huh? I realize it’s not a recipe name anyone would search but I don’t know what else to call it. That’s what they call it. When I say they, I mean cajuns. My wife is from Lafourche Parish in Louisiana and opelousas is something that her mom used to make when she…
