I just watched the last episode of Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen. Somebody please tell me why anyone would want to be a contestant on this show? Better question, Why does anyone watch this show? I know I do not normally write about TV shows, but I have heard so many people talk about what a great […]
Recently an e-mail from the fine folks over at the Food Network came across the computers at the CliqueClack headquarters. It seems that the network is releasing a bunch of new DVDs and they think your mom would love one. Join me after the jump as I peruse some of the titles that I think […]
I’m all for the unexpected, the little surprises that make our meals fun as well as tasty. Didn’t I just post some unique lamb recipes to perk up your Easter fare? It’s true then: I must be open-minded. Somehow, though, I just can’t get past my, shall we say, distaste for this Easter breakfast recipe […]
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t LOVE fried rice — even fellow Clacker Jeff has shared his recipe for Grouse fried rice with us. My feeling is that rice is good any way you fix it. My best friend is Filipina, and when we lived together in college, she would make delicious fried rice for […]
I had a good week last week and I decided to reward myself for my good fortune. I went all week without getting into a fight at work, or at home with the wife. Bo only bit me once, so it was a good week. My reward, I decided, would be my World famous Peach […]
I have to make a confession. I’ve had Jumping Cow many, many times before, so this isn’t going to be a review coming from a virgin to this beer. However, this is one I definitely wanted to include in the CliqueClack beer fridge (I’m working on the image, really!), so I wanted to sing its […]
Lamb on Easter: I guess it’s a thing, as is ham for some reason unbeknownst to me (probably a religious one, eh?). My sister’s in-laws celebrate Greek Easter, and every year they roast a whole lamb on a spit. Add in a little tzatziki sauce and you’re good to go, right? As fun as that […]
Kymberly Pye, today’s Guest-clacker, lives in Los Angeles with her husband and four-legged children. When she’s not in the kitchen, she’s knitting or crocheting or hiking in the desert. Her favorite food is ketchup. www.kimberlypye.blogspot.com Often the victim of making rash purchases based on the weirdness of a vegetable, I bought an acorn squash the […]
I always have the best time when my dear friend S. cooks Korean food. I peek over her shoulder constantly, because the flavors and ingredients are so unfamiliar… and delicious! So when S. suggested we make kimbap for dinner one night, I readily agreed, even though I had no idea what it was. It turns […]
Darlene’s back Guest-clacking again, after sharing her recipe for chicken two ways…. First of all, I don’t intend to title every guest post with multiple variations on a single theme, but two important events happened this week in the Wilson household and both involved asparagus. When I think about it, I would probably be a […]
