I grew up eating rice dishes and I could probably eat rice every day. I think that the combination of being asian and being raised by a mother serving Puerto Rican dishes combined into some sort of ultra-love for rice. Still, the only way I could ever get my own rice to come out perfectly [...]

Alton Brown Pan Fried Chicken
April 23rd, 2010
4 Comments
After some incredibly mediocre food from Wildside BBQ & Grill, I found myself still craving some bbq. I grabbed a chicken at the grocery the next day with intentions of throwing it on the grill this week. After a couple days of discussion about the new KFC Double Down, I found myself now craving fried [...]
Alton Brown Cracker Noodle Do
April 21st, 2010

I didn’t have much time for dinner tonight, and I was already planning on making a bowl of pasta. Coincidentally, the next set of recipes (I’m skipping the Salt Dome Bass for now until I can find some.. well… bass) is pasta. The main recipe is “Plain old pasta” which is for the most part [...]
Alton Brown Fish Meuniere
April 20th, 2010
No Comments
Since Emily is a pescetarian, we’re always happy to try out new seafood recipes. Fish Meuniere or (pan fried fish) is about as simple as they come. The only complication here is fish availability. Having grown up on Long Island, I’ve always been confused at the lack of butchers, fish mongers and diners down here. [...]
Alton Brown French Onion Soup

This was a recipe I was really looking forward to. From the very first time I had french onion soup at the Olympic Diner in Deer Park, NY it’s easily been my favorite soup. It’s funny, I hate raw onions, but I’m ok with cooked onions, and damn do I love french onion soup. Emily [...]
Alton Brown Southern Biscuits & Sawmill Gravy
April 9th, 2010
No Comments
This is one of those recipes I probably never would have made if not for it being an assigment. Why? Because I generally don’t like southern style biscuits. I prefer the flaky buttery style. Despite all the preservatives and endless ingredients, I’ll take Pillsbury biscuits before southern style. This is not to say that I’ll [...]
Playfire – Initial Impressions
April 8th, 2010
No Comments
A reader recently suggested that I do a review of Playfire, social community for gamers. Like Raptr (which I’ve already reviewed), they’re still in Beta (*edit, see note at the end*) – which, to me, just means they’re just asking for leeway while they polish up the site. While there is a lot of overlap [...]
Broiled Lobster Tails

For Easter, we drove out to my mother’s condo on the beach. We no longer really cook traditional meals on any of the holidays, and last night was no different. After our appetizer of peel & eat shrimp and tomato, basil and mozzarella, we had an entree of prime rib and lobster tails. We actually [...]
