You’re at the tail end of a night shift, the body is drained. Every movement has to be calculated. Colours have become saturated and a unique vibrancy is shimmering above ...

B-Movie Buffet: Southern Comfort
Prologue: Spawned from an earlier outing to see “Hobo With a Shotgun” and enlivened by an intense bowl of noodles, I thought it was time to create my own dishes to go with a few hit flicks that stoked the bubbling cauldron of movies condemned to the mainstream masses shit-list. Dishes paired with the [...]
Black Pudding Intermission
Consider this a culinary interlude. I will save the next edition of B Movie Buffet for the coming week. A short, tasty fried dough snack is the perfect break food, and here we have a black pudding empanada, sitting next to the gorgeous green glow of freshly mashed guacamole. The sliced radishes radiating red rings [...]
B-movie Buffet: Shogun Assassin
“A noodle drops out of your disbelieving mouth as another soldier of the evil deranged shogun drops dead in an ever more fantastical manner. This is B-movie Buffet” Spawned from an earlier outing to see “Hobo With a Shotgun” and enlivened by an intense bowl of noodles, I thought it was time to create my [...]
Pork Belly Meat Treat
You know when the smell of roasting meat fills the house that you’re home. What whim or sentiment is it connected to? Well, I don’t have time to sit on the psych’s couch and figure it out because I have guests coming over. This leads me to another simple pleasure; that of good company. Cooking [...]
Tuesday is Taco Night
Make your Tuesday night a taco night! Hell make any night a taco night. To be honest I made these on Sunday, after having some fish tacos a few days earlier. They sure hit the spot, but everybody is doing fish tacos at the moment with the same old fish, be it red snapper or [...]
-Bite My Biscuit-
The inevitable happened. After 10 years of marriage……my blender broke. I blame the Mexican sauces; guajillos, anchos, pasillas, all tough as old boots– wrapping their resilient sun-dried flesh around my blitzing blade till the strain became too much and he threw in the towel(yep my blender is a dude). For 50 bones, I picked up [...]
Some Mothers Do Have ‘Em
Mothering Sunday has past, and before the remnants of this day pass over into Easter fever, I just wanted to drop a little respect to the Mums and Moms out there. In our household, at the top of the tasty treats list, is a dish that we always looked forward to mum cooking- Pizza Swirls. [...]
-Mexico meet Spain-
This is the most right a picture can be. Number 1, you will see in the background my beer of choice now stocked in my local supermarket – this siptastic tasting beer is called Punk IPA by Brewdog(as previously seen here and can be drunk in mass quantities here). In the foreground is a colourful [...]
Chopped Mountains
Your on holiday, your stuck for a place to eat, your winging it and praying that you don’t end up with some tourist trap crap. Even worse your in a shopping mall, so your odds are greatly reduced on finding anything decent to eat. Then again what’s not to love about fascinating menu translations? Could [...]
Space Marine Pasilla Tacos
Who knew that beech mushrooms could have provided outstanding scenery for my teenage games of Warhammer 40,000 – Space Marines vs. Orks fought out on edible backgrounds! If you don’t happen to know what the high hell I’m talking about, check out the link:http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/home.jsp. Nature knows no limits when it comes to weird and beautiful [...]
