    Calamari

    I just love Calamari! I think the most enjoyable way I eat it is Calamari Fra Diavlo over Linguini. I add capers to the recipe. Also It's kind of neat if you can get Black Linguini (colored with squid ink) and add just a handfull to the regular linguini it creates a ultra contrasting visual when...

    Balls

    I had no idea how to make them but I have had Itallian fried rice balls and they were yummy. For the kids I would imagine meatball sandwiches. http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1942,159174-234206,00.html

    We Stopped Buying Beef

    We stopped buying beef at the supermarket. Originaly because we were afraid we were eating too much and the high cost boosted the food bill. We went to buying only chicken and pork and used these meats as a staple. We now buy our beef at butcher shops in the whole form and finish cutting them at...

    Help getting pizza crust crispy

    I find that no matter how you cook your pizza the #1 problem stems from overloading the pizza. Use 1/3 the sauce that you might think you need and go light on the cheese. Just try that to prove to yourself that it makes a big difference. The next pizza's you can make a bit heavier now that we...

    All-Clad stainless - Is it worth it?

    I went out and got a full set of all-clad when I decided I would like to cook. The Mrs. took contention to the idea that we were now going to discard the heirlooms we got as wedding presents and such but we got through it. I was stunned at what you could do with a real pan. I am now convinced...

    Professional Knife Sharpening?

    I use S.S. Dexter Russell knives wich are pretty tough to put an edge on. I use a 2" X 6" "meduim" diamond stone and it puts an edge on these knives in no-time. These diamond stones are unbelievable! Like magic.
