Recipe: Mississippi Pot Roast

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Here’s a quick and dirty Mississippi Pot Road recipe via Al Bladez. Super flavorful with a minor kick of heat.

Ingredients:

1 Beef London Broil (size doesn’t really matter, as long as it fits flat in your crockpot)

Mmmm, half moons!

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Well, they’re the not the OGs from Hemstrought’s, but these are from Chompie’s and they’re pretty good. Oddly enough, they go by Black and Whites around here, but the person behind the counter knew what I meant when I asked for half moons. Kinda prices at $4 each, but mostly worth it.

Finally tried NITRO Pepsi

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Heard about NITRO pepsi a while ago, but they never seem to get it at my default grocery store. Recently, they had one in the check out line at Target and I could no longer resist.

Curse you Fearless Flyer

Sat, 02 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000

So, the Fearless Flyer finally lured me into the store this week. How can one resist Baconesque white cheddar popcorn? Oddly enough, it looks and smells like normal cheese popcorn, but does really taste like bacon. Must resist urge to eat whole bag myself.

Conjoined

Sun, 22 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

I hate when both my pizza rolls explode together in the oven. Still tasty, none-the-less.

Goulash!

Sun, 22 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Who doesn’t love some hot goulash?

Chicken is also good with pancakes

Wed, 18 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Chicken and Waffles may be a thing, but popcorn chicken and pancakes ain’t bad. Of course, everything is better with bacon, too.

A little bit of this and a little bit of that

Sat, 17 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Tomato red pepper clam sauce? Yum!

Naan Pizzas

Mon, 16 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Ever since trying out the Black and Blue Cheeseburger pizza, we’ve been hooked on naan pizzas on the grill. Tonight, for the kids I made one with half meat sauce, half blue cheese dressing, pepperoni, bacon, and black olives; and for me, it was just meat sauce, bacon, and caramelized onions. Yum all around.

Bacon Method Revisit

Sat, 15 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

I’m a firm believer in the Bacon Method. Today, I tried the foil variation:

I think I like. Makes things a little crispier in the same amount of time.

Grilled Cheese Evolved

Sat, 15 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

3 Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwiches have been a hit our house lately.

The keys to these tasty morsels:

sourdough (or ciabatta) bread.
the secondary grill step. after getting things toasted on the outside, cut on the diagonal, and give them another minute or two cut side down.

Yum!

4 1/2 pounds of steak. No holds barred, no silverware, no chewing. Whoa.

The AeroPress Inverted Technique

Tue, 31 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Straight the the AeroPress World Championships.

I’m not super anal about measuring things yet (like weigh coffee/water or precisely checking temperature) so I’m not sure if it will make a lot of difference compared to the traditional AeroPress technique.

One more time

Sun, 10 Nov 2013 00:00:00 +0000

…before I put the grill away for the season. Barbequing some steak for steak for use on pizza. Super tasty!

Recently had lunch at Spaghetti Warehouse. Forgot all about all the neat olde tyme signage that had. Good stuff. Also a great place to have a ginourmous lunch for 2 for $20.

Tick Tick Tick...

Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Celebrated the recent engagement of my friends Sam and Steph with a little cake. Not too shabby lettering job for a novice, methinks. Can’t wait for the ceremony next year!

Early Halloween

Thu, 31 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Think we’re gonna double dip on Halloween this year. Today was the indoor trick or treat at Shoppingtown Mall. Tomorrow, might get ’em up and down the street if the weather cooperates.

Chocolate Truffle Babka

Mon, 28 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Oh yeah, being half polish, there’s no way I could resist. Crazy expensive ($8.69 at Panera), but oh so worth it.

I welcome our new caffinated robot overlords

An army of robot baristas could mean the end of Starbucks as we know it

I hope their machine works better than the mocha machines at Tim Hortons, yech…

Hello, my new tasty friend

Thu, 03 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Was looking for Redd’s Strawberry Apple Ale, but nobody seems to have it in my area. I’ve seen Woodchuck Ciders before, but I’m pretty sure the Granny Smith variety is new. Kinda what you might be expect, super tart. Get past the first few pucker inducing sips and it evens out nicely.

Big Ball O' Shrimp Scampi

Sun, 04 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Shrimp scampi on the grill? Yep. Tasty, but I think over did a bit on the garlic.

Home grow cherry tomato garnish.

Hmm, wonder if the kids would eat Tabbouleh?

Tue, 16 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Ribs are Easy!

Mon, 01 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Not sure why, but I’ve never made ribs until just now. Super easy. 5 minutes per side on the grill, then into a the oven with a bottle of barbque sauce and a bottle of beer for 2.5 hours (won’t repeat on a hot day though.) Super easy, super tasty. BBQ Ranch chopped salad on the side; Just dump it into a bowl and toss it. Yum.

Crockpot Lasagna

Fri, 07 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Sounds kinda strange, but way easier than traditional lasagna, and just about as tasty. Those crazy Duggars may be on to something. Of course, we quarter sized the recipe, since there’s about 18 less people in our house.

Pork and Artichoke Goulash

Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Sounds a little funky, but mighty tasty. A definite repeat.

Mmmm. Chicken Marsala

Fri, 17 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Hot on the heels of Shrimp and Chicken Ala Marie, here we have Chicken Marsala. Pretty easy to make and tasty, but I think I like the thicker sauce from the former a little more.

Welcome back, my trusty friend

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Oh, yea! Its grilling season again. Sliders for mom and dad, hot dawgs for the kiddos. Yum!

White Lantern? Hello, where have you been? Tasty stuff. By description, sounds kinda like Blue Moon, but more crisp.

4th Meal

Luke wakes up hungry if he doesn’t have mid evening snack. Tonight its 1/2 a cup of oatmeal, a handful of cheerios, and a handful of goldfish crackers.

Where have you been all my life?

Sun, 03 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000

After knowing about chicken and waffles (seeing them a zillion times on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives) I finally got around to making some last night. Nothing scratch made (Wegmans waffle mix and frozen chicken bites), but yum, none-the-less. Not sure I’ll be able to ever eat waffles without chicken again.

New Life Goal

Fri, 01 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Apparently, being the Starbucks pick of the week artist gets you free drinks…

Guess I’ll have to start a music career. Or, maybe the author of the Starbucks app week also gets the same treatment? More likely to hit the latter than the former.

Now that's better...

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Turns out that Savory Mushroom Soup, just needed on more ingredient…

Confirmed again, everything is better with bacon.

Scallops Ala Columbo

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Stolen adapted from a similar dish of Santangelo’s Restaurant. Scallops were surprising good being from the grocery store fish department (as opposed to the high end fish store.)

I'm totally gonna stop drinking Starbucks Coffee

Thu, 03 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Right after I finish this gift card. Totally. I’m not kidding. Maybe…

Peanut Butter Cheese Fudge

Mon, 24 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Thank you Paula Deen! Yeah, 2 sticks of butter and 2 pounds of sugar! Need to wrap it up for delivery so I don’t eat the whole pan myself; in one sitting.

Naughty

Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Yum, 5 guys burger and fries. I’m pretty sure you can actually feel your heart slowing down with each bite.

Apple Tart

Fri, 23 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

I winged my own apple tart recipe, sorta based on the raspberry lemon bars in the A Man, A Can, and A Plan cookbook. It was a little hard to adapt, because the raspberry pie filling in the original recipe doesn’t need to be cooked, raw apples do. My idea to boil off the apple’s cooking juices into a glaze soaked through the tart too much, but despite being a sloppy mess was actually super tasty.

Bacon Bacon Bacon

Fri, 23 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Yep the Bacon Method in action again.

A Little Overdone

Mon, 19 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Got distracted and my Bacon Balsamic Brussel Sprouts spent a little too much time in the oven. A little crispy, but still tasty none-the-less.

Winged the recipe this time. Prepped bacon via the Perfect Bacon Method, recycled bacon grease to cook halved brussel sprouts. Added a little more olive oil and couple of shots of good balsamic vinegar. 30 minutes in the oven at 400° F. Probably should have pulled them at 25 min, or maybe same time at 350° F instead.

5 for 3

Sun, 11 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

3 jumbo eggs yielded 5 yolks. crazy.

So what's a Salted Caramel Mocha like?

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve been pondering what the Salted Caramel Mocha at Starbucks would be like. Today, (after another many time cat interrupted night of sleep), I decided to give one a shot.

The barista got to the last step and said, “oops, we’re out of salt.”

Pressure Cooker

Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Why You Should Have a Pressure Cooker in Your Kitchen.

Hehe. “Old pressure cookers were dangerous as sh*t.”

That carrot soup recipe looks pretty good.

Mmmm...

Mon, 22 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Roasted butternut squash with onions and bacon. Had to exercise restraint to not inhale the whole pan myself.

Starbucks Bad

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0000

Actually, other than their prices, they’re really quite nice. A fancy new standalone shop just opened down the street from me (on route 11, next to the Rite Aid, formerly Eckerd, formerly Sweetheart Market…) Good thing we’re moving to the other side of town in the near future.

Panera Crispani, Thumbs Up.

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 00:00:00 +0000

Been meaning to try Panera Bread’s new Crispani pizzas. Picked a couple on the way home from work last night. I had the sausage/apple, it was very good. Sandy had the roasted mushroom. I had a bite of hers and that was also dynamite as well. Size-wise, they’re comparable to a personal flatbread from unos. 2 pizzas was $19.42. Thumbs up.
