Life has its own synchronocity — New Belgium and Elysian breweries to cross-brew beer at each other’s breweries. I just visited Elysian last week, and sampled some of their jasmine infused IPA. It was deliciously quirky, and a good second place to my most favourite of all beers, Odell’s IPA. As a fan of New [...]
I experimented with ham last night, my first one, and used this bourbon pecan ham recipe. It was a huge success, and the nice part was, I didn’t really need to modify the recipe at all. About the only thing I would suggest is that 325 is a bit low, and takes much longer than [...]
I alluded to making paella a few posts ago. I used this seafood paella recipe, and it came out delicious. I’ll save you some time of reading through the comments by telling you the modifications I used for extra jawesomeness: add one pound spicy chorizo and/or andoulllie sausage. Cook it like you would the chicken, [...]
Last year, I made my first turkey. The turkey itself came out pretty good, but as I noted in the blog posting, the gravy was weak and watery. It took about 2 hours of reducing to get it to thicken up, due to lack of enough roux. This year, we tried again with another early [...]

Of course, in this day and age, some silly humans have decided that they want to eat some vegetables too, and so we must satisfy them. [...]
I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s day, since in my opinion, it’s just a made up bunch of hooey to sell gift cards, flowers, chocolate, and diamonds. However, one doesn’t always get to choose which holidays in which they participate. That, combined with the fact that I liked to cook, lead me to create [...]
Jenny and I decided to make a turkey this year for Thanksgiving, so I headed to the store (the day before the feast) and bought a 19 lb. behemoth. Luckily, Safeway had thawed turkeys for sale, else I would have been screwed. Apparently, a frozen turkey thaws out at the rate of 5 lbs. every [...]
Spread movies I’m going to try something new and start writing about food. The motivation behind this is that in my circle of friends, we’ve been getting together somewhat frequently (although irregularly) to hang out and make dinner. In a college town like Fort Collins, the tendency to become an alcoholic due to el cheapo [...]
