Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'

Strangely enough, some of the best barbecue was the ribs at McGuire's Irish Pub in Pensacola, FL. Maybe I was just hungry that day, but they were amazing.

Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'

I have not baked bread from scratch but would love to learn. I think I would start with a simple round loaf that could be served with butter for dinner. Yum.

Does Your Grocery Store Have You Crying Tears of Joy?

Central Market in Houston is a most wonderful place. Everything you could want in a grocery store. From incredible meats to the produce to the bakery . . . ah the bakery. My favorite part is their sandwich line. You can choose from hot and cold selections prepared in front of you on fresh-baked bread. You can also pick any of the toppings available to add at no extra charge. I'm a big fan of the marinated mushrooms and red bell peppers. The portions are huge for about $8. I have them cut if into four pieces so I can take them home and wrap them separately. That's four nice $2 meals - especially if you pair them with something else. I regret that I have to move soon to another state. Central Market, you will be missed.

Cook the Book: 'Giada's Kitchen'

It's not very sophisticated, but I grew up on a homemade tomato-based ground beef sauce. Still love it. Often tomato sauce without meat is just disappointing as a main course. Alfredo is my runner up.

Our Groceries Are Quietly Shrinking

Check out the Chewy Chips Ahoy cookies in the red package. The packaging is much more flimsy than a year ago, and the cookies have noticeably shrunk in diameter. Boo!

I like to make a really lean chili with lean ground beef drained, several types of beans, several cans of tomatoes, garlic, onions, and spices. It's filling but not heavy.

Seriously Delicious Giveaway: Zingerman's Gift Certificate

Currently swiss because the other day my girlfriend and I were shopping and I said "How about swiss?" Then she said," It's not luxurious. It's got holes in it." Not sure why she said it, but it was really funny.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks

NY strip typically, but a porterhouse is sounding good at the moment. Yum.

New York strip - but it has to be cooked correctly since it is lean. When done right there's no need for sauce.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters

Well I have never been to New York, but if I were there I think I would go with one of the famous bagels with scrambled egg and cheese.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Heritage Smoked Ham

A good old fashioned ham and cheese on crusty bread. Some really thin cooked apples would be good too.

I prefer the BBQ that my family members cook the best, but I am open to trying recommended BBQ restaurants, too.

There was a little hole in the wall bbq in Fort Myers, Florida which we visited every spring when I was young. Nobody has ever even come close to their bbq magic.

I went to a restaurant called Famous Daves here in Minnesota. They have good bbq and you can buy their sauces in the supermarket, which I do all the time.

I was at a company plant in Thomasville, GA years ago, and we had a working lunch planned because we had so much to do. The folks at the plant brought in barbeque so good that we didn't get any work done over lunch, we just talked food.
