Yo mama so dumb I told her it’s chile outside, she went and got a bowl... Every so often people will ask me questions like “Oh dude did you watch Walking Dead last night?”  Because I am a bit of a smartass I’ll respond along the lines of “Nah, why?  Who’s wedding did I miss?”  Or more likely,...

Wise men say, it’s a labor of love... I turned 41 this past August.  GASP!!  It wasn’t a fun realization but time marches on.  At times I feel like time marches ON me, but that is a discussion I’ll save for my psychiatrist, or as I call him, “Hey bartender, another round of tequila!”  Ah, the...

It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you without a dope beat to step to….. Ok, I think it’s been a few months since last I posted anything.  I kind of noticed it when I got an email from BlogSpot, kind of like an e-version of a welfare check.  Not the kind you... Continue Reading →

Its party tiiiiimmeee….oooohh oohhh its party tiiiiimmmeee... If you grew up in the same era as me, you were a Nintendo freak.  I remember being in 4th grade sitting there glued to the TV as me and my friends played Super Mario Bros for hours and hours.  The tune is unmistakable and was the soundtrack...

Nice, riding the bull, feeling the flow... Ok so....don't act surprised...but...I don’t really remember how I got into BBQ and stuff like that.  My dad and his best friend would always be grilling in the summer and stuff so I grew up around it.  But it didn't start out as a passion for me.  I do...

Last time I saw piggies and eggs together, I was playing Angry Birds! A lot of what I cook is inspired by the places I’ve traveled or restaurants I’ve been to.  Other times I just get some wild idea that sounds fun and I go with it.  Puff pastry squares with maple infused whip cream...

So, you think your Kung Fu's pretty good eh?  Well I want to fight your brother!  Let's Kung Fu! The year is 2001.  It’s 2am, or is it 3?  More than likely its 2:30 in the am (hiccup), since last call was at 1:30 and the club let out at 2.  You head out into... Continue Reading →

If variety is the spice of life, then make mines extra spicy! I think I was about 19 when I first had Indian food.  There used to be this little hole in the wall buffet called “Tandoori’s” close to the house we used to live in during college.  Someday, if you are at one of... Continue Reading →

When life gives you too many banana leaves, tell them to leaf you alone… This past holiday weekend we hosted back to back Thanksgiving parties and while the turkeys were great (shout out to my brother in law and secret cousin), after 1 day it was enough for me.  Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve always envisioned...

Anyway you slice it, pie is great! I can tell you the exact moment I fell in love with the concept of making pot pies.  Me, the wife, and her cousins were at Fremont Oktoberfest partaking in all types of great microbrews.  Instant classics like Pumpkin Spice beer, Chocolate Pecan Porters, Coffee Stouts, and Mango...
