Betsy and I have a few other couples that we like to hang with on occasion. Usually we just get together, make some dinner, and drink copious amounts of beer and wine. Apparently though this was not ideal for the ladies in the group because a few weekends ago they scheduled a “Lady’s Night” and [...]

I was a bit worried when the eggplant Parmesan rolls won last week’s poll. Not because they didn’t look delicious. Oh no. They looked very delicious. But they also looked kind of difficult.

The Italians are geniuses. They found a way to stuff all of my favorite things into a single dessert: alcohol, coffee, chocolate, and even cheese. That dessert is tiramisu.
My only issue with tiramisu is it generally uses Brandy which isn’t something I have laying around. Bourbon, however, I do normally have and tend to like [...]

I was actually kind of shocked that “something spicy” won last week’s poll. I figured that something fried would win for sure given that it’s for the Super Bowl. Shows you what I know!
My requirements for this dish were pretty simple. I wanted something that I could eat with my hands, that was super-spicy, and [...]
