    Hook, Line & Dinner

    Borderline shameless plug: Tonight's episode will include the bistro my brother works at - Sea Rocket Bistro. He was there the night they filmed, but he's not sure if he made the cut. Anyhoo, it'll air on the Cooking Channel at 7:30PM EasternST/West Coast DirecTV. Not sure if Comcast will air...

    Tri Tip & Veggies

    Nothing you haven't seen before, but I know I haven't posted a cook in a long time. Wednesday night I drove up to San Luis to visit a family friend of mine attending Cal Poly. I promised her I'd bring her a grill so she could cook a tri tip whenever she wanted one. So, I loaded up my ol'...

    Brats

    I was in Encinitas for the the weekend to watch the Packers game with my Wisconsin super fan friend. Of course we had to have brats. She was absolutely relentless in making fun of me for taking pictures of food, but insisted there had to be a beer in the shot. Anyhoo, nothing exciting, but I...

    Kotopoulo Elliniko & PB ABTs

    In keeping with the Euro theme we've got going on...I've got thighs seasoned with Cavender's going on the grill. For a snack I made bacon wrapped jalapenos stuffed with peanut butter after I read the article below. Made both smooth and chunky PB (Skippy) versions. I should have sprinkled the...

    Sugar-Sugar-Sugar-Sriracha Thighs & Other Goodies

    My brother came to visit this past weekend. I told him I could make some really good tasting thighs Friday night. So, I gave him Wolfe's recipe verbally. He goes, "Helen, all I heard was sugar, sugar, sugar, rooster sauce." He ended up eating only 2 of the S&P thighs I made for him. He was...

    El Capitan Tri Tip

    Last week I was getting my coffee at the drive-thru. The car in front of me had a license plate holder with SB Spice Co. on it. Googled it up and found they are right here in town. Ordered two bottles of their El Capitan Seasoning and tried it out on a tri tip yesterday. It's something like...

    Pastor Pizza

    I had something like this at a local brewery Friday night (Firestone/Walter Brewery). My friend and I both thought it was the best ever. Here's my rendition of it for lunch today. The friend came over and said it was pretty much spot on. I'm not a huge fan of thick pizza crust or oozing...

    Wiings and Wii

    I got home last night, put the wings on the gasser, drank some beers, played some Wii, and then had a nice dinner. Always love Wolfe Rub wings. Planning on having the leftovers for lunch today with Rev Marv's/honey mix. Rev Marv's/honey mix is great...as usual, I have not been with the program!
