Our friend from Philly, Dan, came over last week and made this outstanding bittersweet chocolate pudding that will make your wife want to leave you for chocolate. Recommended for anything from parties to apologies to simply celebrating the good times. 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/8 cup all purpose flour 2 cups sugar 4 [...]
If I were to make this again I’d recommend adding a little more salt and pepper for flavor than it recommends. Less healthy, perhaps, but it tastes better. Via Cooking Light 2 tablespoons butter1 cup chopped onion3/4 cup chopped celery1 garlic clove, minced3 1/2 cups (1-inch) cubed red potato (about 1 pound)3 tablespoons all-purpose flour2 [...]

We had some left over red wine that was just past drinkable so we decided to cook with it last Friday. I found this on Cooks.com. http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1826,144164-243206,00.html I'd recommend adding 1 or 2 bell peppers, but I'm a bell pepper fan in my pasta sauce.

This was very quick to make, very tasty, and was pairs excellently with a bold white wine. We served with some bruscetta and baguettes. Four stars!

Gret and I tried this recipe earlier in the week. I'd give the results a 2 of 5. If you wanted to try this I'd highly recommend using only 6 or 8 of the corn tortillas and make a bit more of the tomatillo sauce because I think the recipe, as described, comes out too [...]
I realized that there were so many blog entries I hadn't written about life at Microsoft. Of all the posts I had in mind I think this has to be the most important since it has to do with free caffine. We all know that Microsoft has those swanky iCup machines from starbucks, but did [...]
I've made this simple recipe a few times now since I spotted it in Cooking Light. It's one of those where you question the "light-ness", but you really don't need a larger serving since it's very filling. The one change I'd recommend to the recipe below is using hot or spicy Italian sausage instead of [...]
This recipe was great but there are couple of things I'd recommend. You only get four servings with what you see below. For all the effort I'd recommend doubling up so you can freeze some or serve a larger crowd. I also think a stew like this could use some starch so some cubed potatoes [...]
