Food Adventures of a Comfort Cook
“Don’t throw the past away.
You might need it some rainy day.
Dreams can come true again.
When everything old is new again.”
Everything Old Is New Again
Peter Allen - 1974
Another “new” trend seems to have hit the culinary world, smashed burgers. Sorry to burst the bubbles of those who love to...
Back on April 27, 2022, I gave you a recipe for Garlic Chicken with Soba Noodles and it is a fantastically good dish. As with many recipes, including my own, I like to play with the ingredients; perhaps improving further, perhaps not. That’s the adventure, and honestly, do we really want to be...
In the past weeks I have seen repeatedly posted a recipe for Pork Chop and Potato Casserole featuring Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup.
Usually, it is a photo of the completed dish with ingredients listed, just the names, not the amounts, and “Click on this link for full recipe.”
Clink on the link...
While none of the lyrics apply to the next recipe I will be sharing, getting to, at least, mention a title of an AC/DC song perks me up.
This recipe will be the one I mentioned in April, when Blackberry Tarts was the main feature. Blackberry Coconut Pound Cake is not exactly what might be found on...
Easter has come and gone. It’s a time when Christian religions celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his torture and death, at the hands of the Romans.
It is also a time when children, with baskets, run around backyards, fields, and playgrounds seeking chocolate bunnies and colorful eggs...
Back in 2016 I wrote about a much-loved local restaurant called R&F’s, owned by Ray Arballo and his mother, Fana. On Wednesday nights, it was always packed because it was Mexican Night.
With the Arballos’ Mexican heritage, they were able to put out the most outstanding Mexican food around....
April Fool’s Day, in San Juan County, UT, gave me a very good reason to rename it as, “Multiple Personality Disorder Day”, as it pertains to weather.
All day long we experienced periods of snow, rain, sunshine, snow, rain, sunshine, repeat until the darkness of night finally said, “Hey, enough is...
When it comes to the cuisines of New Orleans, most are familiar with those of French Creole or Cajun descent. However, between 1880s and 1920s, a wave of Italian immigrants made their way down to Louisiana, primarily New Orleans.
At first, they were the major traders and providers of fruit,...
Ah, the English countryside with rolling hills of green grasses, wildflowers, and forests, valleys with villages nestled deep within, cattle grazing, and sheep blocking the roadways.
Driving into one of these quaint villages, parking outside the pub, walking in, and being greeting by the publican...
Many a time I have written about a worldrenowned comfort food called bread. Every culture, every country has a version that dates back historically to when grains were grown, ground, and used to feed the community.
So, yes, it is a foundation for the continuance of a society, as is water. But why...
