Fiesta Friday #385

School is out, you guys! How should we celebrate? With a pizza? A cake? A cake and a pizza? Oh, I know! Tempura! Right?! No? C'mon, tempura is special, especially homemade tempura. That's an act of love right there, making tempura. What with the frying and all. Then, finish the meal with chocolate lava cake and ice cream. That's it, that's my celebratory menu! As soon as I get a week's worth of sleep, I shall make all of the above. I'm in the mood, guys. You know, to celebrate! The end ... continue reading...

For the past several years, I’ve always made Croque Madame on Father’s Day. It's for my husband, not my dad (RIP). The husband loves anything with fried eggs.

Good news, peeps! The official grilling season has finally begun. Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Don’t you just love it when you can take the cooking outdoors? It means less mess to clean up in the kitchen, less offensive odor to worry about in the house, and best of all...for me, just less to do. Period. The husband is the official grill master, so he takes care of the outdoor cooking/grilling. I do all the prep work, though. Here's our latest offering. I made the marinade, of course. The ... continue reading...

It’s been so warm lately. Too quickly and too soon, IMO. I much prefer a lengthy spring season. On the other hand, the heat has afforded me a convenient excuse to avoid cooking. Hey, as Harry S. Truman said, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. And that's why our meals, as of late, have morphed to look like this: What. Salad and smoothie days are happy days, IMHO. From Last Week's Fiesta S'mores Cookies "First of all, who can say no ... continue reading...
