Who knew this year would fly by so fast? Most people are still trying to grasp the fact that Thanksgiving is now 2 days away while frantically searching for family recipes. This year I have decided to take a "modern" approach to cooking the turkey.

Then you must find common ground with your culinary likes and dislikes. Often times most caterers have a menu to choose from. This menu has been calculated for cost and expense, has a fixed price per item and is easily quoted. They do not bend the

There is a great dinner party coming up that you should all know something about! If you are not familiar with "slow food", please do me a favor and google the term. You will find a wealth of information that could change the way you eat! Briefly, slow food is just the opposite of fast food. It is all about the appreciation and understanding of our food and where it comes from. It is the

Today is Friday. That means that the Foothill Farmers Market takes place at the corner of McBean Park and "A" street from 8am - 12pm. Being that I am now right down the street I take advantage of the "cooler" morning market. I had not been in a few weeks but today I felt encouraged to check it out. I also wanted to get a feel for what was in season for next weeks class and dinner.I was very

(Old Picture)I wanted to write a bit about Sierra Express. It is new to Lincoln and is housed on the corner of HWY 65 & HWY 193 or McBean Park Drive. It is located in the old golf cart building. Anyhow, this is my Family's business and we sell and repair kitchen supplies, equipment, smallwares - all things related to food. We can get you cooking gadgets, utensils, rare and hard to find things.

I consider myself to be a "local" of Lincoln being that I have resided here for some 18 years now. At the time I moved to Lincoln I remember being anything but a local. The people that were here for years before I moved here are even more local, if that is possible. It may be hard to envision that feeling of neighborhood and closeness that we shared. Today I would say that there is only 10-20%

All of us have fears. Myself, I fear heights. The fear is very real for myself and sometimes debilitating. Someone like an avid climber or a base jumper would ridicule me for my fear and claim it could easily be conquered.I also fear snakes. A person who works with snakes and has a passion for them could not understand my fear I am sure. They too would presume that with a little effort my fear of

MARCH 24, 2007 Much time has passed and many meals eaten since my visit to "Culinary Paradise"... the #1 restaurant in all the United States, the mecca of culinary goodness, The French laundry. I have been meaning to write about it, blog, review, call it what you want; I finally have found the motivation and platform to do so.Our visit began January 24th, at 9:50 am to be exact. That was the time

In my ongoing quest for the perfect burger I always revisit the homemade burger. Usually this is done a bit differently than last time, or the time before that. However it is important to mention that the seach will probably be ongoing forever!Most recently I had been craving a really good burger. This brings up the things that I look for in a burger to make it worthy of "really good" .... they

Since the class is coming up, I decided I better brush up on my skills and get a recipe written, as I did not have one actually "written". Mole is so tempermental and something you must adapt to, it is very hard to follow a recipe tooth and nail to get the Mole desired. So I spent the better part of the day, about 4-5 hours to be exact working the Mole and making my best attempt to actually put
