Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'

After our first child was born my wife made me a birthday cake. She left the completed cake on the kitchen counter and went to tend to our barely 2 week old daughter.

Upon returning to the kitchen she saw the remains of the cake being devoured by our 1.5 year old Basset Hound.

My wife sat down and cried, then proceeded to make another cake.

It was a horrible happening but a memory we always share.

Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'

My favorite burger of all time was purchased at a greasy spoon in Albuquerque, NM. I was about 5 years old and my family and I were traveling by train from CA to KS. We had a 20 minute stop and my Mom disembarked and brought back a bag of hot burgers to my brothers and I on the train. They were delicious!

I've never forgotten that moment.

Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling

Valentine Sugar Cookies - I was sick and couldn't go to elementary school for the Valentine's Day card exchange. My Mom made heart shaped cookies and I helped decorate them with red and pink icing. That was a special day.

May is National BBQ Month: Who serves it up best?

I live in eastern NC where the best barbecue (noun) is cooked and served with the best sides in the best atmosphere. My favorite barbecue is served at B's in Greenville, NC. They also have great sides and the atmosphere is incomparable.

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'

My Mom made the best tacos I've ever eaten. Nothing fancy, ground beef, and the usual fixings. The flavor has never left me.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

My favorite pork moment involved a ham sandwich at a band picnic when I was five years old. I can still taste the thinly sliced roast ham on white bread with a thin layer of prepared mustard and fresh ground black pepper.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage

My favorite barbecue joint is B's outside Greenville, NC. They have a strange operating schedule because they are closed on Monday and during the rest of the week they open at 11 am and close when that day's cooking is sold. The secret is to get there early and you will be rewarded with the best Eastern NC barbecue around.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Fortune Cookie Chronicles'

My son saves his favorite fortunes in his wallet. I'd guess he has at least ten year's worth in one spot. He's a Psychology grad student so no doubt he'll put them to good use.
