Out of a couple glamorous things to do on Oscar night in Greensboro, I have found that there is no where I’d rather be than my couch. Last year I started a tradition with my movie-buff friends of enjoying a casual meal in our laps while packed into my tiny tv room. With the causal atmosphere on my side, I [...]

Garlicy Shrimp with Garlic Chips
Since we are all friends now, I’ll make a confession. I played the trombone for about twelve years during my school years. I’ve stopped playing in my non-school years but I still own a trombone and will bring it out occasionally at dinner parties if there is enough wine around. The trombone, while embarrassing, brought a [...]

On this episode of Cheaters: Pasta Puttanesca
I’m not sure if the show Cheaters is still on but it used to be a late night favorite of my roommate, Morgan, and I in college. Back in the day when we could stay up late watching tv, eating cheese popcorn and drinking beers. Everything has its time.
Like I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’ve [...]

Herb Marinated Pork Tenderloin & Casualties of Food Blogging
Recently I’ve run into two casualties of having a food blog (actually there are more than two but I’m not willing to go into those publically).
1. I run into people I know in the grocery store all the time. Friday, I saw three people while shopping who all stopped, asked what I was cooking this weekend [...]

My Quest for Homemade Spicy Ramen
If you have been wondering why I havent posted much this week it is because I’ve been eating the same thing every night – Spicy Ramen. I probably should have taken the same amount of time to monitor my sodium intake but life is too short to not invest a too much time into something silly. I [...]

Mardi Gras on Mendenhall
I keep asking myself and others what the difference between spring fever and seasonal depression is. I’m concerned that I may have one – or both. I found myself hopelessly reaching out for some sort of occasion to celebrate this weekend. Valentine’s Day was not a contender this year so I had to choose between [...]

The Easiest Homemade BBQ Pulled Pork
Pulled pork is probably the easiest thing to make for a crowd (well, at least my crowd since I don’t know too many vegetarians). Depending on what you want to serve, you can doctor a pork shoulder or Boston butt to your liking from pulled pork tacos, BBQ pulled pork or anything else you can imagine. This [...]

Webcam Cooking Class: Fajitas in the Windy City
Some of my best friends live all around the country. I miss my friends Michael and Tommy in Chicago dearly – they can make any moment fun and carefree. Thanks to the smart people at Google, I get to see their cute faces more often using Gmail Video Chat. While catching up one day, we thought it would be great [...]

Thai Ground Chicken with Fresh Herbs
I’m the type of person tries to only order out food I know I can’t make at home. That is why you typically can’t find me at a steakhouse, ordering a hamburger or a bowl of spaghetti (although I am lazy from time to time). Before I started this blog, I don’t think I would have had an [...]

Heather’s Everything-In Risotto
My friend Heather made this risotto for me many moons ago when she and her partner Becci lived in Greensboro. They now live in Madison (which I’m sure you know if you are a MMoM regular like Heather) but were gracious enough to share the recipe. I made this Sunday night and enjoyed it all week for lunches [...]
