Our Adventures in Food

Our Adventures in Food:


I spent part of my day today setting up a new blog with my man. We both love to cook, so we decided to start a food blog. Its not much for now, but hopefully the more food we cook, the more it will expand and grow, if you love food come and join us, share some recipes.

Pickles Anyone?

I love pickles. I mean who doesn't? Ok, yes, I know some weird people who either simply don't like the deliciousness of a nice crunchy sour pickle, or they just don't like anything sour at all, and by all I mean they don't like mustard, anything with vinegar, lemons, not even sweet pickles because it has the name pickles in it. I feel sorry for people like that, they just don't realize how many good foods they are missing because they refuse to try anything that could even be slightly sour. There are sweet types, but I am sorry, I just do not like sweet pickles, I have tried them before and they are simply too sweet for my tastes. Sure they might be considered a pickle, but they just aren't something I enjoy eating, I like the sour ones. So for the rest of this post when I mention pickles, I am referring to the sour variety.

Now, a pickle doesn't have to be made from cucumbers, while the majority are made from cucumbers, cauliflower, green beans, and beets also make some very nice pickles.

It Doesn't Have to Be Complicated to Be Good

I Do Believe In Fairies: The Laziness of Food

I was born and raised mostly in Kentucky, while it might not be the deep South of the country its close enough that we cook like Southerners.

The Laziness of Food

One can always tell if someone is lazy or just a plain bad cook when what they prepare comes out of the freezer section of the supermarket, a can, or is something that would be served to children at a family get-together outdoors like hot dogs or hamburgers. I realize some people never learned to cook and had to fend for themselves or always had someone to do it for them, but such circumstances are no excuse for the pitiful attempts seen on today's tables. Even with all of this "foodie" bullshit running rampant and the annoyance of every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinking he is a connoisseur of all things food related, people still cook crap.

The Great Pepperoni Uprising: A Very Very Short Story

This is just something wacked I thought of today while on a smoke break. So its only a whole 6 minutes of thought put into this. You may think I am crazy but I hope it puts a smile on someones face, it did mine.


The Great Pepperoni Uprising of 2011

The pepperoni staged an uprising today at work, of course I was able to finally take control back from the evil pepperonis, however due to the nature of the crimes committed by the pepperonis and the other toppings I was forced to sacrifice them to the pizza gods as punishment. The method of sacrifice was a trip to the oven.

15 (Possible) Minutes of Fame

My cousin Derek, according to the whole family, is just a tad bit out there, and apparently its fit for TV. What isn't fit for television these days though, right?

So my cousin eats raw meat, no biggie right? Lots of popular dishes are made of raw meat, theres Sushi, Steak Carpaccio, and Ceviche. Ok, so raw meat is tolerable by societies standards, but he takes this to a whole other level.

Just Eat It...And Possibly Be Healthier

I watched a very interesting movie tonight, this movie was called "Fat Head".

This movie is a documentary about a guy who eats nothing but fast food (while limiting his carbs) and managed to lose 12 pounds in 28 days. He then went on to eat, what most doctors will tell you, are foods that are bad for you such, as steak, bacon, eggs, and cheese, and actually lowered his bad cholesterol, and raised his good cholesterol.
