Another day without a lunch from home calls for another food truck find. This time it was the Tamale Spaceship. What are they all about? Here is what they say… We are TAMALLI SPACE CHARROS, a mobile tamaleria, a tamale food truck inspired by Mexico’s “stridentist movement”, and mexican wrestling sci-fi films. They certainly played…

March Race Report
You know when you see someone running down the street, seemingly effortlessly? Well that is not me. I don’t have a runner’s body or a natural stride that looks so effortless. In fact, to onlookers I probably look more pained then I actually am when I running. But I do have desire and determination to…
Spicy Garlic Oil
I love garlic, especially roasted garlic on fresh warm bread. This recipe creates a garlic with a similar sweetness to that of roasted garlic, but in less time and with the bonus of the flavored oil. Spreading the garlic on bread is delicious though my favorite use for this oil it on blanched broccoli. Pour…
{Check it Out} Movie Snacks, Beer Map, Japan
A few things that caught my eye this week… Let me start with this mashup of LL Cool J and Dexy’s Midnight Runners. I have watched probably no fewer than 50 times. Seriously awesome! Buying snacks at the movie is such a money suck. As kids we brought out own popcorn. I try to bring…
Paparazzi
Last summer I spotted Scottie Pippen eating lunch. I had assumed he’d out grown his reputation of No Tippen Pippen. But this recent story suggest he hasn’t. Check out the photo they used! What I really love about the story is the link to the story about Charles Barkley being an excellent tipper, even paying…
Green Theme
We’ve had a green theme going on this week, not so much on purpose but it works given St. Patrick’s Day. The week started nicely with the long anticipated Shamrock Shake. Colcannon was a perfect side with lamb sausage and brown bread. It is essentially mashed potatoes with lightly sauteed cabbage and green onions mixed…
Irish Brown Bread
I abandon all plans for Irish soda bread this year. I always end up eating it with too much butter anyway. Kept it simple with this brown bread recipe to accompany our lamb sausage and colcannon. Very easy bread to throw together. It turns out as a dense chewy bread that…
Chicken Pot Pi(e)
Happy Pi Day, 3.14, aka my Mom’s Birthday (Happy Birthday Mom)! I made a chicken pot pie to celebrate. Mind you explaining pi to a four year-old is a lot easier then explaining it to a 5th grade, they want more details. I pulled out my old copy of Fannie Farmer for a recipe, figured…
{Check it Out} Peppered Bacon, Slow Cooker Falafel, Your Nose Knows
Bacon needs no help in my opinion, but this peppered bacon recipe looks outstanding. Falafels in the crock-pot? Who knew! I am really excited about this one. Speaking of falafel, I tried the falafel sandwich at Subway. It was tasty. Had a bit of a kick and dare I say it was too filling. The…
Lazy Maizy
Something tells me Maizy is feeling completely at home. It only took a few days for her nervousness to wear down and she was slowing testing her limits. At various points this past week she was walking around with a Beatles coffee table book, TV remote, a boot, a slipper, pillows, blankets. You name it…
