Does this rock or what?

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!

Meat Loaf well suited for the day...

I've always loved meat loaf... Even that highly suspect meatloaf that they served at my high school cafeteria with the equally suspicious brown gravy!

Over the years, most of the people I've come across who  make meat loaf take a lot of care and it is more a work of art rather than just baked ground beef. Getting it just right is no easy trick and when it all comes together it is some kind of wonderful! Sadly, with the cost of ground beef getting silly (or if not expensive, then some kind of scary take your chances sort of thing) meat loaf is now more a special occasion sort of meal than a means of cutting costs... How things change!

For a neat take on a special occasion meat loaf check, out Not Martha for some Halloween perfection!

The big question...

Why can't anyone in the Caribbean make a decent burger? You won't find anything that looks like this down here...

Dream Burger is a blog that does some awesome reviews of burgers and burger eateries and they have an awesome rating system... Sadly I doubt that there is a burger in the Caribbean that would surpass a "3"!

Why?
