The roof has been getting hammered for a few weeks. Their shells are a particular kind of torture for canine and human feet alike. It’s time to pick up those pesky Pecans and start cracking.
Creamy Goodness
It’s something about the softness of hand made pasta with cream sauce that makes this one of my favorite dishes. The mushrooms add an earthy taste to balance the cream.
After a quick saute of the mushrooms, add the cream and reduce down. At the end, I season with Thyme and truffle oil. Garnish with fresh Parsely.
No Utensils Required
How many foods can you eat without a fork, knife or spoon? OK, a burrito, you got me. But, what else?! OK, French Fries. This little quiz isn’t really going my way. We made artichokes. Not a whole lot of complex cooking involved with this dish (boiling water), but what a wonderful and unique taste.
Book Review: Toklas Cookbook
The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook was written in 1954. Primarily Alice’s musings about cooking and life with Gertrude Stein, while they lived outside of Paris from 1908 till 1947. It’s fun to read about food trends and this book gives you an idea of what foodies were doing back then. Beef and Anchovies cooked in cream!

Your Kingdom for a Cow
You want free-range? Organic? Grass-fed beef that they promised had a good life? I got it and your looking at it. I did the deal of the century. I traded a website for a cow! My friends have a ranch that they have set up as a B&B of sorts. They were in need of a promotional website and I had my eye on one of their cows.
This bothered a few people when I told them the story. It bothers me that the majority of us are so removed from where our food comes from. Don’t worry, these cows have the best life in the cow universe. If you don’t like the fact that hamburgers are cows, stop buying Happy Meals. In fact, the more I have learned about the beef and poultry industry, the less meat I have been eating. Be informed and make an educated decision. Just don’t turn a blind eye and continue to order the McNuggets.
