Crispy Potato Hash

Posted on July 20, 2011 by terry

stuff went BOOM!

Posted on July 14, 2011 by terry

Well, maybe not BOOM! so much as SNAP! CRACKLE! POP! – and just a teeny, tiny bit of ZING! – and I am NOT talkin’ about that cool restaurant in Douglas! Monday morning, we had a bit of a ‘thing’ … Continue reading →

Spaghetti Salad With Cold Sauce

Posted on July 11, 2011 by terry

I’ll admit it. I TOTALLY misread the title – and so, the intent – of this recipe. I THOUGHT this recipe was gonna be for a cool (not to say, chilled) summer spaghetti salad. What it actually WAS, was a … Continue reading →

Ancho-Chocolate Steak Rub

Posted on July 10, 2011 by terry

All right, I am mostly recovered from FoodFest 2011 yesterday, and can now complete the post for this very nice twist on a spice rub for meat. Rich pulled this little book insert – ‘The Beef Checkoff’ – from some … Continue reading →
