Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted our long-treasured family recipe for the perfect (and damned simple) Texas Style Shrimp Boil handed down from Ma-Ma (maw maw) at her now long-gone Texas coastal camp. Sometimes the very best meal you can put on your plate is one sourced from uber-fresh ingredients, prepared simply, […]
Friday Feast
I’d actually planned to talk about the ins and outs of boiling shrimp today, but when Chef Libby asked if I’d seen this article – The Ultimate Guide to Grits from Garden and Gun – I figured it would resonate with at least some of our ChiWulff compadres across the fruited plane today. If you’re […]
During the holidays a few weeks back I had a vision of a Southern feast featuring grillades and cheese grits; we’ve been using Emerill’s grillades recipe for years around our camp, though this version from Garden and Gun’s recipe files looks incredible as well. Talk about a stick to your ribs, cold January week dinner […]
A friend recently spent a glorious week and a few days in and around New Orleans and the LA coast, chasing big redfish, fishing a bit offshore, and even getting some work done. He and his lovely wife are both foodies, and reveled in the amazing offerings NOLA brings to the table (literally and metaphorically) […]
How about a big platter of Creole Jambalaya courtesy of Garden and Gun for this weekend’s Friday Feast? This particular recipe was provided G and G by NOLA restaurant genius Ralph Brennan and made their best 20 recipes of 2019 list; he serves this family recipe during Marde Gras… Back to regular programming next week. […]
Given a bizarrely crazy week around our camp of late, our Friday Feast today offers up a nifty Cheesy Grits Casserole via Garden and Gun to round out your holiday dining next week. We’re going full-on Southern with a bourbon and honey fire-roasted ham with all the fixin’s for Christmas dinner, and I was digging […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted a damned useful steak recipe – Reverse Seared Cowboy Ribeye Steaks. Like many of you, we enjoyed well prepared proteins around our camp, and lean to enjoying beef in particular cooked to a perfect medium-rare (OK, medium for my lovely wife). Grilling thick-cut steaks to a […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted a nifty Miso Curry Chicken and Snap Pea Stir Fry, a tasty dish that comes together pretty damned quickly and offers a not of bang for the buck in terms of flavor, texture, spice, and stick to your ribs goodness. Adding a little miso to the […]
Chatting up a new friend at work this past week the subject of how to creatively incorporate leftover turkey into the weekend’s menu beyond the inevitable sandwich came up, sparking what seemed to be at the time a much more spirited debate than expected. Around our camp it simply wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a pot […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this recipe for The Hot Damn Ultimate Adobo Turkey to help those who are still pondering putting something a bit more interesting on the table for next week’s Thanksgiving feast. Inspired by our love for a lost recado turkey recipe (dammit) from the now defunct Chile […]
In part inspired by new Texas friend Lucia, who has regaled me with tales of incredibly tasty Korean-TexMex fusion foods from Houston lately, and in part inspired by our admiration for the taste and versatility of skirt steak, today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this recipe for a Texican Fusion Skirt Steak […]
We’ve been playing around with curries and curry powder of late around our camp now that fall weather has finally arrived in our neck of the woods. Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this recipe for a nifty Spicy Coconut Yogurt Chicken Stew, a spicier riff on a Somali-inspired chicken stew in […]
It’s been a crazy, somewhat disruptive week around our camp lately, leading to another Friday Feast post linked to some great food from an “outside” kitchen. I’ve been helping open a new Cajun restaurant in our little burg north of the metro here, making a damn good gumbo recipe (in amazingly large batches) nearly every […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this recipe for a Creamy Mixed Mushroom Sauté after a new friend chatted me up about sautéed mushrooms one busy Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago. My lovely wife and I last enjoyed this over a damned tasty Ginger Pecan Cauliflower Rice Pilaf, though it’d be […]
I’ve been slogging though a hefty new project for over a month now, and gotten off routine a bit where writing is concerned. For today’s Friday Feast, here’s a nifty piece from Garden and Gun that just posted yesterday reminding all we home cooks about the wonders of the fish collar. Back to regular programming […]
