Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'
Baby back ribs from my Big Green egg - made my last batch rubbed with Dizzy Pig's Dizzy Dust, slow smoked for a little over 5 hours over hickory, and finished with a light coating of Blues Hog BBQ sauce. Served them to friends who are huge soul food/bbq aficionados and they said they were the best ribs they had ever had, period.
Gluten-Free Tuesday: If It Doesn't Have Gluten in It, I'm Eating It
Great post, great perspective.
I'm glad to see you writing for Serious Eats. I've been reading your Gluten-Free Girl blog since I was diagnosed about a year ago. It's my go-to site for not just GF recipes, but for improving my attitude toward food and eating.
While I've found some GF beads and pasta that I like, I've had better luck (and more fun) hunting out new foods that are naturally gluten free. Thanks for reminding me that's there's a whole world of gluten free food out there yet to explore.

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Gomasio
Never heard of it, but gomasio and salmon sounds like a winner. Thanks!

Grilling: Pork Souvlaki with Pita and Tzatziki
Thanks for the recipe! We love kebabs like this.
Audio of SXSW 'Secrets of Successful Food Blogging' Discussion
Just got done listening - great stuff! There aren't a lot of places to get good advice on food blogging and it's good to hear from folks with a some serious experience.
Blogwatch: Homemade Corn Dogs
Great post. I've got some all-beef dogs from a little local butcher that would do this recipe proud.
Has anyone tried dusting the dogs with a little cornstarch (a la Alton Brown) to get the batter to stick better?
Your Oldest Cookbook?
My Grandmother's 1942 copy of Woman's Home Companion Cook Book (First, kill the chicken...).
Serious Heat: Ketchups to Set Your Mouth on Fire
I like one part Búfalo Picante Clasica added to one part Trader Joe's Organic Ketchup as a spicy ketchup. It's also great as part of a cocktail sauce.
@RachelDP - I'm also a fan of "Srirachup."
Large-Scale Enticing Food Smells
Driving through Cedar Rapids, IA - both The Quaker Oats plants and the Ralston Purina plant would produce some interesting aromas.
Used to work in a building that had a pizzeria and the elevator shafts would act like chimneys. You could smell the basil and oregano all the time.
Cook the Book: Pork Porterhouse with Pancetta-Dried Cherry Vinaigrette
Sounds very tasty. What part of the pig is the porterhouse chop cut from?
Recipe Software: Use it? Like it? Which one?
I'm a big fan of Living Cookbook.
Super Bowl Snacks: Slow-Fried Buffalo Wings
Thanks! Going to have to give this one a try. Just read a piece where the owner of the Anchor Bar talks about how the secret to their wings is frying them first at °250F to cook the meat and them frying them again at 350°F to finish them.
Meat Lite: Tuna-Chickpea Spread
Joy - it was vastly better and wasn't hard of time consuming to make. Here's the recipe:
Tuna Confit
I did it on our Big Green Egg, but this would work just as easily in an oven. I usually make up a batch whenever we get a sale on tuna.
Harold's Ribs, Mountain View: Barbecue in a Car Wash Parking Lot
I love hearing about little places like this. Thanks. This is why I try to avoid getting to stuck on all the "rules" for cooking barbecue, because out there somewhere is somebody like Willis making tasty and successful barbecue by doing it his own way.
Meat Lite: Tuna-Chickpea Spread
Sounds very tasty. I've oil-cured my own tuna a coupe of times and this would be an excellent recipe to make with it.
Dinner Tonight: Skirt Steak with Red Wine Sauce
I agree, flank tastes better than it should for the price. The pan sauce sounds great. That's the only thing I miss with grilling - no pan mean no sauce. Thanks for the recipe.
Mother's Day Grilling: Orange, Sage, and Garlic Rubbed Pork Tenderloin
Looks great. Pork loin is one of those nice, reliable, versatile cuts that you can do just about anything to and have a good chance of pulling it off.
Maybe think about butterflying the loin and stuffing it with half the rub?
Charcoal Grill or Gas Grill
Another vote for charcoal, and specifically the Big Green Egg with hardwood lump. Can't beat the flavor, and with a MAP torch I can have the BGE up to temp in about as long as it takes to heat up a gasser.
SE users: please introduce yourselves.
My name is Davekatz and I’m a geek - food geek, photography geek, kayaking geek - it doesn’t matter. I always tend to take my interests and hobbies and push them a little bit further.
With food, I started out doing little more than bachelor survival cooking, but I always had a taste for the good stuff. Over the years, I’ve figured out how to put it consistently on the table and I’ve gotten a lot of joy out of pushing my abilities, learning new skills, developing new recipes, and making tasty chow for friends and family.
Of all the cooking techniques I’ve explored, it’s hard to beat live fire cooking. My dear wife got me a Big Green Egg a few years ago and we’ve had a lot of fun putting this ceramic cooker through its paces.
We have a website featuring a selection of our recipes and descriptions of some of our cooks at Gelina and Dave's Adventures - Our Big Green Egg
I also write for the Get Your Grill On food blog.
Gluten-Free Tuesday: Gomasio
My wife and I sprinkle gomashio in our homemade sushi before we roll it up. We make brown rice, vegetarian sushi, and yes, we are from California! :-)
Gluten-Free Tuesday: Gomasio
I just discovered gomasio, and so far, my favorite use for it is sprinkled on popcorn instead of plain old salt. It makes popcorn even MORE addictive (is that even possible??)
Gluten-Free Tuesday: Gomasio
I just found you blog, haven't read much yet but am laughing about the California thing, I live there and you hit the nail on the head, don't say I said it but yes they really are nuts out here.(I am laughing) It's nice to see someone notice all the oddness here. I love the weather, but miss a lot of what I'm used to, people, food etc. I'm from NJ. I'll have to read further to figure out where you are now. Just wanted to say I'm enjoying your blog so far.

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Gomasio
yeah gomashio with the azuki + glutinous rice (called (o)sekihan) is a true classic.
I grew up with gomashio made with black sesame + large grain salt (not like coarse sea salt, it's made from fine grains of salt-don't know how they manufacture the stuff) so the salt grains doesn't sink to the bottom of a bottle.
Also classic on glutinous rice with chestnuts or sweet potatoes (very seasonal right now). the sweet-salty contrast is so good!
Gluten-Free Tuesday: Gomasio
The stuff is great! I love it on popcorn.
The other night I sprinkled some on roasted squash soup, and it was delicious. I'm ready to try it on anything now. The idea of serving it on steamed veggies sounds really good.
Thanks, Shauna!

So wonderful to have so many fellow writers! I actually have two blogs to share. One is my personal blog: www.thedilettantista.wordpress.com which covers, well, EVERYTHING, cooking, restaurants, movies, etc. I started it this summer when I was living in New York City for an internship, so it is especially heavy on NYC eating.
I am also a contributing writer to Carpe Durham, a food blog that focuses on eating in Durham, North Carolina. The blog was started a few years ago by Duke law students, and I am a newer writer. The blog is a great source if you live in the Triangle area!

While I'm at it, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you food bloggers. The time, effort, and enthusiasm you all put into your blogs delights, entertains, and educates the rest of us.
Thank you all!
