New Mexico Green Chile Stew
We spent a long weekend in New Mexico a few weekends ago. It was great to get away. On our last day there, we took one last ride up the ski lift to mooch around in the freezing cold at 10600 feet, then came back down and waddled over to "El Jefe", a restaurant across … Continue reading New Mexico Green Chile Stew
One Vine
Cucumbers So awhile back, I put in some raised gardens. I planted one cucumber vine that I picked up at Home Depot. Then built a trellis for it to climb. After awhile, we've been getting cucumbers every day. Way more than we can eat. Which is a good thing, since I've taken a liking to … Continue reading One Vine

And it showed up yesterday afternoon. A care package from the motherland That big chunk of meat at the top is Tasso. It's used more … Continue reading Gonna be a Great Day, Tater…
Wednesday Night Cooking
I haven't been cooking much at night. My wife has been working late, so things I've cooked on Sunday tend to last all week. Hell, sitting in the fridge now is a picnic roast, a handful of chicken thighs, and what's left of a store bought chicken. And I've been eating on them all week. … Continue reading Wednesday Night Cooking

Screw politics and Covid. Let's look at something more gratifying, like seafood. I'm a big fan of one or two pot cooking.
