Cheese and bacon were my highlights for the dinner I made last night. I can’t think of two better salty delights!! Halloumi is so cool – if you haven’t tried it, you must. It’s a fryable cheese made in Cyprus. It gets squeaky, yes that sounds weird, but it’s awesome and if you’ve had it, … More Halloumi and Bacon Jam!
Ok Facebook, usually I just watch the video of speed-making food and move on, but I had to actually try out the cauliflower pizza crust. Why? Because I love pizza, I love cauliflower, but I try to stay low carb. Plus, in the spirit of Passover right now, it was a viable dish for the … More Cauliflower “pizza crust”
Ok, I’m coming back to life now after I over indulged in the tastings yesterday. But only because there were so many great potent potables there!! I didn’t do the VIP ticket, maybe next time, so the only problem in the general admission area was that there wasn’t a whole lot of food for balancing … More Wine and Food National Harbor Review…
Look at the babies! Aren’t they cute? #closduval #greatredwines. Splurged on a whole case from one of my favorite wineries!! 2012 and 2013 are showing themselves as excellent years, so I thought it prudent to stock up.

Probably my favorite kind of dinner to put together on a Friday night is just an array of appetizers! And, of course, paired with a fancy cocktail! Last night’s drink was a pomegranate martini – vodka, triple sec and POM with a couple frozen blueberries floating about. Yum!! And potent! For the apps, I did … More Cocktails and apps!

Not much is better than this delightful mess of dairy done right. The rippled white rind barely contains the melted middle just waiting to express itself all over your vessel – be it the classic crusty French baguette, a healthy cucumber slice (I do this very often with various cheeses), or my new craze, Wild … More Ooey gooey melty Brie cheese…
Hosted at the Timonium Fairground, it was a great day for an indoor beer bash. Drink.eat.relax (@drinkeatrelax) put on a very well executed event. The line was long to get in for the regular crowd (I didn’t get VIP tix this time, did it last year for one similar event and didn’t really find it … More Beer, Bourbon and BBQ in Review…
In preparation for Beer, Bourbon and BBQ fest this afternoon, I figured I ought to start the day with a well-balanced breakfast. Over easy eggs over avocado (avocado helps restore positive liver function!!), prosciutto wrapped asparagus (leaner than bacon), tomatoes (lycopene is just good stuff for you) and fruit (needs no parenthetical matter here, … More Game day breakfast…
