Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
You know how some people really, really love McDonald’s? I’m not one of them. The burgers are boring, the fries are uninspired, and frankly, the inexplicably boneless yet rib-shaped McRib meat patty freaks me out. Seriously guys, what is in those things? Nevermind, I don’t want to know. Clearly, I am not McDonald’s target audience….read more »
Prosciutto-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
Another day, another football viewing snack recipe. And guys? These are the bomb. Sorry to get all ’90s on you, but it’s true. These poppers are amazingly tasty, and super addictive.

Pulled Pork Sandwich
The last time I had homemade slow-cooker pulled pork was at the Summer Supper Club’s Southern Night 2 years go (holy crap, has it really been that long??). I made shrimp & grits, Karen brought over about a ton of tangy pork, and I think there were green beans, potatoes, and biscuits involved too. Yeah….read more »

Octopus Sausages
Aren’t these sausages the cutest things you’ve ever seen??? I see them packed into bentos all the time in the mangas I read, but I never thought they were actually possible to make. So, when I saw a step-by-step recipe for octopus sausages in my new favorite food-themed manga, I knew what my Halloween blog…read more »
Cayenne-Cinnamon Baby Back Ribs
Whoa, two posts in one day, what’s going on??? Unemployment, that’s what. No, I wasn’t fired. And no, I wasn’t laid off. My judicial clerkship ended yesterday.

Baked Taquitos al Pastor
There is so much al pastor in my fridge right now, I almost don’t know what to do with it. Almost. I’m toying with the idea of combining it in some form with kimchi, but I haven’t quite decided which direction to go with that yet. For now, I’ll have to settle for taquitos. Why…read more »
