2007-10-03 19:48:36
Everyone has certain foods that remind them of their youth. A taste or smell that takes you back to a time when your biggest worries were things like what to wear to school on Monday, or whether that certain someone would actually look at you in a classroom. A time when things were [...] ...

What are you gonna be for Halloween?
2007-10-03 01:47:07
Halloween is almost upon us ladies and gents. Ghosties, ghouhlies and things that go bump in the night. Candied apples are destined to make a return, as are popcorn balls in the homes of my family. There’ll be a need for kids Halloween costumes for certain, but how many of us “grown [...] ...

A taste of the islands - NOH Filipino Adobo Mix
2007-10-01 11:59:18
I don’t know about you, but I get a little tingle of excitement when I spot a new seasoning or spice mix I’ve never seen before. I always wonder what new flavor combinations may be contained in this wonderful new bottle or packet, and whether it is really worth the money. This case [...] ...

Walking in the shadows of giants
2007-09-29 16:52:03
Sometimes I feel like I’m walking in the shadows of giants. They’re very nice giants, but giants nonetheless. When I started this little food blog I wasn’t really aware of the sheer number of other food bloggers out there. That realization came later. For the week I spent setting up and getting my [...] ...

Sometimes it’s the simple pleasures…
2007-09-25 18:11:34
Lisa over at the Homesick Texan recently did a post on breakfast tacos. That post got me thinking about breakfast foods in general, and this morning I caved in and made myself something I haven’t had in a very long time. I momentarily jumped off the low cholesterol bandwagon and indulged in one of the [...] ...

Lower cholesterol
2007-09-25 17:47:21
They tell me I’ve got to do it, I’m 24 points high. So lessen the cheese, eggs, shrimp, bacon, butter, fried foods… Argh! The shrimp part kills me. I always have shrimp. Well, I would if I could, but I’ve set aside buying them for another month or so. [...] ...

Basil Provolone Tuna Melt
2007-09-23 21:04:08
Blame it on Elise Bauer. I do. I was browsing through my favorite food blogs recently and came across a photo and recipe at Simply Recipes that made me stop and drool profusely. Not only did her Tarragon Tuna Melt make me want to run to the kitchen and get cooking, and [...] ...

One Ringy-Dingy…
2007-09-23 21:03:40
This post is completely off the topic of food, but I wanted to get some opinions from my readers on a subject that Mrs. Seat of her Pants and I have been mulling over recently. We’ve been strictly cellular phone based for the past two years but are very quickly approaching the end of [...] ...

Vegetable Stir Fry with Snow peas and Boc Choy
2007-09-21 20:54:01
The morning started with a simple email. It’s one I try to send my wife at least once a week, and goes something like this: Me: …blah blah blah… Would you like anything in particular for lunch? Mrs. CbsoP: … Yadda, Yadda, Yadda… Yes, I would absolutely love to have a little stir fry [...] ...

Garlic Chili Stir Fry Sauce
2007-09-20 02:23:37
I have a few go-to recipes in my arsenal and this is most definitely one of them. A perfect combination of heat, sweet and sour, it compliments vegetables, fish or chicken well, without overpowering the flavor of the main component. And it will leave a little tingle on your tongue in the process. Garlic Chili Stir [...] ...

Do you have an event coming up over the holidays? Whether it’s a dinner party, a holiday gathering, a wedding or a birthday soirée, a thoughtful invitation can make the event that much more special. Let’s face it, there’s nothing like the setting the mood for a party. Perfect table settings for the occasion, [...] ...

That ain’t bacon!
2007-09-18 18:03:09
In life there are things that don’t work out right. There are also things that never should have been attempted. This morning I came face-to-face with both. In an effort to make the doctor happy and lower my just-slightly-higher-than-average cholesterol, we’ve switched to mostly turkey-based sausage, which in most cases is just [...] ...

Reduce DIY drama
2007-09-18 03:49:28
Right now I know of at leastone person who is completely rebuilding their kitchen. But whether you’re involved in a project of that magnitude, or just need to weatherize your home, it’s simple to run into do-it-yourself dilemmas. I can remember the first time I tackled a home improvement project. It was a simple [...] ...

My first “real life” fan
2007-09-18 00:27:44
It’s an amazing and slightly strange thing to physically “bump into” someone who reads your blog, but that’s just what happened to me over the weekend. My wife and I were on our way to the local Mega-mart after a quick grocery run when we passed two young women who were frantically looking for [...] ...

Southern Cornbread Stuffing
2007-09-17 16:58:00
Like most families, we saw each other mostly on holidays, and the order of the day was, of course, the food. Turkey, in particular, with homemade cornbread stuffing, though there would be literally tons of other dishes and desserts.

Huevos Locos
2007-09-11 18:25:15
Sometimes laziness yields surprisingly good results, if not strikingly pretty ones. This morning I was terribly hungry, but also feeling terribly “blah” about actually cooking anything for myself for breakfast. (There is no cereal in the house usually. so far my son isn’t old enough for a bowl, and I’m just not a huge fan [...] ...

Back it up!
2007-09-11 17:41:17
I know I’ve mentioned this topic before,but it bears mentioning every once in a while. When was the last time you backed up your personal or family business files? Are your photos backed up? Your tax documents? That email from Grandma? If so, are they in the same house as your computer? If [...] ...

The area is centered on Lake Texoma, an artificial lake of [...] ...

2007-09-10 21:59:37
Every once in a while I come across something non-food related that I think is just too cool not to share it with you guys. In this case, it happens to be that I was asked by a company called HomeCamera not only to give a review of their product, but to be fair [...] ...

Shaken, or stirred?
2007-09-07 15:58:15
I’ve delved into cabinetry and furniture around here before, all in a vague attempt to get a grip on what I think my “dream kitchen” will end up being when we eventually buy our own house. On another one of those little wanderings around the Internet, I stumbled on something I hadn’t really thought [...] ...

Sometimes it’s the simplest things that taste the best, and that is definitely the case here.
