Something To Do With Food

Hey y'all

I've been toying with the idea of setting up a space for just doing recipes, reviews and photographs of food.


I'd like to be able to help folks easily be able to take this


and correctly combine it with this



so that you have this luscious batter



that results in Molten Chocolate Winter Spice Cakes---(this was our dessert on Christmas Eve)



I also want to post simple things that I throw together---sometimes just seeing an idea can spark a delicious surprise. This sandwich was inspired by a yummy sandwich photo Poppy posted. It's bacon and White Stilton with crystalized mango and ginger on toasted pugliese bread with real mayo--heavenly. I had all of the ingredients but didn't think to put them together until seeing Poppy's sammie.




I also want to post about new food finds and how to use new ingredients in simple ways. For instance our Kroger just started carrying ground Bison. If you've never had it I highly recommend you find some and give it a try. The meat is lean and oh so flavorful. I gave it a couple of shakes of Worcestershire and a little dried thyme per the suggestions on the package--it really didn't need anything though.


I seared the patties then finished them in the oven. The steak fries are simply russet potatoes sliced up then thrown into a bowl with a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and tossed to coat. Heat the heavy cookie sheet and then lay the fries down in a single layer. Let that go for about 15 minutes at 400 then turn them. Cook about 10 minutes more.



So if I decide to take the food to one specific place I'll let you know. Otherwise you'll keep seeing the yummy right here. Being the foodie that I am it's just not possible to remove that part of me --and why would I want to;-)

Smooches and some luscious foodie gropes babies.

I'm a food addict, but I'm much too lazy to DO things with food. I'd much rather consume other people's creations. *grin*

So glad I didn't get to this yesterday; I was fasting.

That all looks so yummy! You liked the bison, huh? I may have to go find some...

Well, you know I'm gonna love this idea. :) My whole blog is about food, glorious food. The molten chocolate cakes look amazing.

You know how much I love your photos, don't you? That's why I had to tag your for a photo meme on my photoblog. The tag goes out to five glorious people and once again you and THAT DESSERT came to my mind *g*

Would you play, pretty please...?
