Popeye would be all over this dish... Creamed Spinach!


I've always loved spinach... Maybe it was that early impression of Popeye the sailor or maybe it was just the fact that it was something of a staple at home while I was growing up but I can't think of a time that spinach was not a favorite...

Smitten Kitchen does the Creamed Spinach thing and she does it just right...

Soup and wonderfullness...


Most Americans don't have much of an interest in seafood soups with the exception of your basic clam chowder (and the ongoing argument of red or white...). Which is a pity really as seafood in general becomes some serious kind of wonderful when done up in a soup!

I've always felt that the best seafood soup comes from the Med...

Lobstersquad has just such a soup... Ugly, thrifty, wonderful fish soup!

All sorts of buttermilk goodness...


Like Smitten Kitchen I have  a real interest in Southern food and deserts...

I can't wait to try the current SK recipe "Sweet Potato Buttermilk PIE"!

Yowza... Pomegranate Pulled Pork!



Coconut & Lime is downright scary as I have yet to find a recipe that did not make all kinds of sense in the "food you can fall in love" with vein... The current Pomegranate Pulled Pork recipe raises what is already a very high bar even higher!
