UnRecipe: Cold Weather Feasts and the Brown Food ConundrumI'm guilty of making a lot of Brown Food during the winter. You know what dishes I speak of -- stews and soups, the cold weather dishes that always seem to hit the comfort zone, but inevitably look like a big slow-cooked, braised bowl of BROWN. And don't get me wrong -- I'm totally down with the brown (food), but sometimes the plate… |

UnRecipe: Be My Valentine, Truffle ButterI knew I was with my soulmate when he said as an aside, "Just so you know, I bought a bunch of duck fat and truffle butter, so make sure you're home to sign for that." No real intention or grand plan, it just sounded good. And of course, he's right -- it does sound good. Freakin' majestic, even. I can credit Woot for this purchase,… |

FoodTrek: Fearless Feats and Feasts, the Maui Adventures Continue!My best vacation advice ever? Have SOMEONE ELSE plan your excursions.

FoodTrek: Maui Part Deux - Pizza and Beer, With AlohaFabiani's is in Kihei, a little off the beaten path in a small strip mall off Lipoa Street.

The owner, Lorenzo Fabiani, is from Italy, so it's not one of… |

FoodTrek: Wowie, it's Maui! Getting Onto Island TimeI should preface this whole vacation-a-palooza by explaining that Mister and I traveled with his company, Runic Games, out to Maui for just shy of a week -- a very, very, VERY generous and wonderful show of appreciation for the employees and their game-widowed/widowered families who gave up many months of normalcy over last year to… |

UnRecipe: Hot Wok Culture Shock - a Tale of Two NoodlesWith food, as is with life, it's so much about presentation and context. We all have our set ways and expectations, but we're never beyond making adjustments. I don't mind the idea of both savory and sweet crepes, but I still can't quite wrap my head around the notion of a "dessert pizza," where it's usually smothered in marshmallows,… |
