What To Do With Cornmeal (Other Than Just Make Cornbread)

Make cornbread with chopped up chicharrones in them

AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat LaFrieda Burgers

Ferrall's Burgers in Hopkinsville, KY. Super thin, old-school sliders with fried onions, mustard, cheese, and pickles. A cheeseburger is $2, fries only $1 and drinks only $1. You can feed your whole family for $20.

33 Great Bites from Taste of the Lower East Side

There is a mixup on slide 28. It shows a picture and labels a "Fried Chicken Biscuit with Orange Marmalade" but the describing paragraph is about a sweet pea vodka cocktail.

How to Make Koolickles, Kool-Aid Soaked Pickles

I've made these just slightly sweet with cherry koolaid and sliced them thin to place on top of burgers. It kind of takes the place of the beets and pineapple on an Aussie burger. I only use claussen pickles though because I find them to be so much crunchier than other brands.

Snapshots from Kenya: Eating Roasted Goat from a Nyama Choma in Nairobi

Tusker beer! I love that stuff. I fell in love while on safari in Kenya back in 2005. I found a purveyor in west Kentucky that imports it for me. At $2.00 a beer it's not outrageous by any means.

Jamaican Beef Stew with Rice

Goat meat would send me back to the islands with this dish. All I need is a rum punch in my glass.

Tippling With Tea: 3 Tea-Based Cocktails to Make at Home

I like to make a "John Daly" on really hot summer days. It's a play on the "Arnold Palmer" which is a 50:50 mix of iced tea and lemonade. I mix black ice tea with bourbon, lemon juice and simple syrup. It's very refreshing and the only garnish needed is a porch swing to sip it from.

Not Technically Coffee, But: The Kentucky Coffeetree

We don't actually drink this in Kentucky. We stick with the other kind of "Kentucky brown water."

The Best Drinks We Drank in February

I love Tusker beer. I talked my favorite beer proprietor into carrying it a couple years back.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: The Sriracha Lover's Ultimate Gift Pack

I've got a bottle in the console of my truck so that I can doll up any food when I'm on the run. (I admit that I eat fast food on the occasion *gasp*)

First Look: Fall Dessert Tasting Menu At Michael Mina, San Francisco

Was able to eat at Michael Mina while in SanFran back in September. Our table of 5 all had the Chef's tasting menu. While the fish course with vadouvan and corn was absolutely spectacular, everyone agreed the best part of the meal were these lozenges that were brought out to accompany our dessert. We all told our waiter that they should sell them in stores. I had never had anything quite like them.

DIY Grape-Nuts Cereal

If I went to Hell, the best way for the devil to punish me would be to force me to eat Grape Nuts for all eternity. It's like eating pea gravel.

20-Minute Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup with Chicken

If using rice noodles you could just add them straight to the hot broth to "cook." I find that they really don't need to cook as much as just soften up a bit and just use chicken that has been sliced from raw to avoid having the cut up the chicken after it's cooked. It would even make the dish come together more quickly if you are pressed for time.

Thai Coconut Chicken Soup (Tom Kha Gai) with Mushrooms

I feel like a couple tbsp of curry paste would be right at home here.

The Simpsons: The Food Wife

Did anyone else watch The Simpsons episode tonight titled "The Food Wife?" I was wondering what everyone thought about their dry humor and inclusion of various celebrity chefs.
Personally, I thought that it was hilarious. It puts a lot of the food trends into reality and shows just how ridiculous that they really are.
