Molten Chocolate Cake

A bar of bittersweet chocolate has been mocking me in the pantry for months.  Bake me!  Bake me!  It cries.  I’ve taken it out at least four times only to find myself too worn out to create yet another set of dishes.  Some how the idea of cleaning the Kitchen Aid and a double boiler […]

Wait, Who’s Bob?  Who the heck cares?  This was the response I got when John and Kari first gave me this recipe.  There may have been an expletive involved, but then again, I like to embrace all the English language has to offer me so perhaps that’s just my memory.  John D’s mother, Sylvia, is […]

Lobster Bisque

Get out of dodge.  I’ve finally cooked fresh live lobsters!  This has been a want and a dream of mine for as long as I can remember.  There’s something so pure, raw, and unadulterated about taking a live ingredient and making it yours from start to finish.  It’s completely primal.  Now I’m not a hunter, […]

Making a standing rib roast in Texas is July is borderline insanity, but it’s one of my favorite things to eat/cook so I do it anyway.  Apparently it’s one of my 2 year old son’s as well since he knocked back at least a pound of beef all on his own.  Plus he likes end […]
