I lead teams at the intersection of strategy and design. Autodidact. Polymath. Barbecue acolyte. I start fires (the good kind).
Tonight I’m makin’ a simple, but damn tasty Southern supper. High on cholesterol and starch – which translates to good eatin’! Fried chicken strips with garlic cheese grits. Mmmm mmm mmm mm mm.
If it turns out as well as I ‘spect, I’ll post some recipes. Actually I’ll send ’em to Leesa and link to them on her site – assuming she will post them. I’m bettin’ she will.
I recently had a hankerin’ for some Jalepeño Ranch and as it doesn’t exist in copious quantities here in Arkansas, I decided to try out Jenny’s Texas Ranch Dip which I found on Leesa’s great recipe site Red Velvet Cafe.
It is a close match to Chuy’s “Creamy Jalepe˜0 Ranch” which made me an extremely happy boy. I eased up a bit on the cilantro compared to the recipe, but that’s just my personal taste.
One note, this stuff gets hotter the longer it sits in the fridge, so the second day it is much better than the first.
Leesa has been kind enough to post a couple of my recipes, one of which I am quite proud of. So I am posting a link to my whole smoked turkey recipe.
If you haven’t checked out Leesa’s Red Velvet Cafe, now is the time.
Just a quick post. Here’s a link to my Garlic Bread recipe on Leesa’s Red Velvet Cafe. I don’t tend to follow my recipes all too often, but I tend to repeat these steps when I make my garlic bread.
I was recently reminded of Cafe Press and decided to tinker around with it. I became quite wrapped up in it and created the first of what is likely to be many Web shops for me: Food Chain: a store for carnivores.
The offering is simple, and I’m not expecting to make any money off of it; but I’m excited about the idea of bringing to life some of the ideas floating around in my head. And it’s possible someone else may find them enjoyable as well.
I’ll mention new stores as I create them.
