I love Rick Bayless and the interesting Mexican dishes he recreates. Every time I connect in Chicago, I eat at Fonterra Grill. I am still trying to get my hands on huitlacoche (a fungus that infects corn). His restaurants serve it. I sounds like something you would want to avoid, it infects corn after all. [...]
I can hardly believe it. We are hopefully starting the final room next week. That means we will be moving a few weeks after that. It'll be busy wrapping things up, but I am excited. It's been one hell of a ride. This week's recipe is one I found first in Diners, Drive ins, and [...]
I love tamales. However, there is a reason that they are made during the holidays. They take a bit of time to make. That's why when I go out to a Mexican restaurant, I order them most of the time. Because I love them so much, I am always looking for an easier way to [...]
This recipe is something I wanted to make for a long time. This one has a back story. I started downhill skiing at 21 months and have been doing it most of my life. When I was a kid, my dad and I would take trips up north to ski together. We ended up eating [...]
It has finally slowed down a bit at work. Now only working one emergency instead of two. Just released guidance here in Michigan regarding Halloween. CDC just did as well. It definitely won't be the same this year. I recommend not putting anyone at risk this year and staying home. However, tell that to a [...]
This week has been a tough week. End of summer Eastern Equine Encephalitis is rearing it's ugly head along with COVID-19. Needless to say, I have had a few late nights. However, like all outbreaks, they are really busy in the beginning and then a rhythm sets in. 18 years doing this, I'm pretty used [...]
This week's recipe is one out of necessity. I have some corn tortillas that crumble when you try to use them and I don't want them to go to waste. Tony has also gone back to eating meat. He has A-Fib and found that the vegetarian diet was making him have more episodes than eating [...]
I was watching an America's Test Kitchen video on the treadmill and saw a recipe for Esquites. It looked so good. For those who are not familiar with Esquites, it is a salad made to be like Mexican street corn. Mexican street corn has crema and cheese and warm spices. Equites take the corn off [...]
I'm really busy this weekend, so I was looking for an easy dinner. I came across the recipe for Vegan Tempeh-Walnut Tacos from Better Homes and Gardens and it looked like a great vegetarian option that was quick and easy. I plan to replace the tortillas in this recipe with rice to make the tacos [...]
I saw this recipe demonstrated on Bon Appetit's YouTube page and knew I had to try it. I have more meat to deal with in the freezer, so this was the perfect recipe. I am taking a recipe from Chili Pepper Madness and making some adaptations. This includes making this in a slow cooker. The [...]
