Pigs in Blankets
Posted in Sides (For the High Cal Right Brain, tagged Hot dogs on June 9, 2010 | 3 Comments »
These are not any ordinary Pigs in Blankets–they are the whole hog (or should I say steer, because they are beef?) in a comforter! That’s because they are made with Hebrew National All Beef Quarter Pound Franks instead of cocktail franks or normal-sized hot dogs. My Mom’s friend, Dava, always makes these for my Dad’s Super Bowl parties and everyone devours [...]

First, let me preface this post with something very important. Today, my father turns the ripe old age of 50. On this special day, I hope he realizes how great it is to make it to half a decade and how lucky he is to have me. Anyways, one of the most important parts of planning [...]

I love Christmas with Rico’s family. They are warm, loving and so is food. Hands down the food is the best Christmas food I have ever had. His Mom, Aunt and Uncle make everything from scratch and my tummy thanks them–my scale does not. This dip is a recipe given to me by Rico’s Aunt–she [...]

Like most young women, I seem to follow some “unconventional” patterns in my dating. I would like to say that I’m an equal opportunity dater. I see no color, religion, heart, brain… However, I have never really seriously dated a Jewish man. Growing up in more of a traditional than religious, Jewish household, we have always [...]

In accordance with my post on drop biscuits for nights of misery, everyone has a certain dish they make when they want to impress a proposed man. And ladies, these will impress a man. I am convinced that a man’s brain consists of the pie chart below: This fits many men’s brains; however, has nothing [...]

“The cheesecake is enough calories for a family dinner of 4!” “No, soup’s in the thousands?” “Oh good, at least the French fries are under 600 calories!” The above statements were the results of the shock and awe spurred from this link: http://calorielab.com/news/2007/07/28/calorie-pusher-comes-to-town-the-cheesecake-factory-hits-rochester/ Yes, this link contains the calorie counts for the Cheesecake Factory menu. Yes, it [...]
Rico’s Suavemole
Posted in Sides (For the High Cal Right Brain, tagged Mexican on July 11, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The girlfriend came to visit for July 4th weekend and Rico, obviously feeling threatened by Jess and my secret love, pulled out the stops and made us some fancy guacamole. This stuff was incredible. The three of us sat on the roof and ripped straight through the whole bowl, feeling wonderfully satisfied and ill at the [...]
