A Kitchen Clean Up, One More Trip to Goodwill and Another Epic (read long) Post

Time to Clear Out

We’ve established, not long ago, in fact, that I have an issue with letting go of the past. You can read about it here, but beware, it’s a little personal. I mean, I did kind of bare my soul, leave it all out there for the world, or the ≤100 [...]

When Dreams are a Hard Pill to Swallow and a Departure from Food Blogging Tonight

And Time Doesn’t Heal All Wounds
It’s been two years since I left AOL after an amazing 12 years and at times, it’s still the star of my dreams. Today was one of those days. I woke up with the memory of a dream that was so clear, so vivid and succinct but more. [...]

Lobster Ravioli

Sublime
I’m going to keep it short tonight. I had a craving for lobster when I woke up today. Please, don’t ask me why. I haven’t had lobster in … gee, I have no idea how long it’s been. I wanted a whole boiled lobster, but as I was looking around I [...]

A Few Good Meals

Stacks

I didn’t have a plan for dinner other than knowing I wanted to use the steak that was left over from dinner the night before and corn tortillas. I was in the mood for something from South of the Border and knew my fridge and pantry had enough goodies to put together a respectable [...]

Look What You Missed Last Night!

Tasty Treats
-

I headed into the kitchen after work last night with shrimp on my mind. I purchase shrimp by the scoop-full at the international market in town. It runs between $4.99 – $5.99/lb. and last week was my lucky week — $4.99/lb. I scooped up a bag full and when I got [...]

Winner and Another CNN Video to Share

Announcement

Yesterday we held a contest for a fabulous All Clad stainless steel asparagus pot. All Clad makes a fabulous product and the asparagus pot can be used for things other than asparagus.
I asked people to post comments telling me what they would use this pot for if they had one and while most of [...]

Thanks for the Lead-in President Obama! and an All Clad Cookware Contest

What a Set-up

In my wildest dreams I could not have imagined President Obama setting up my appearance on CNN, but it happened yesterday morning.
After the relative success of the iReport I submitted in January I decided to take the challenge and submit a report for yesterday’s “Thrifty and Thriving” challenge. I received mail on [...]

A New Pan!

Borrowing

I took home a brand-spanking-new pan from the store today. We were encouraged to try one of a selection of new Calphalon pans, a challenge I eagerly accepted. Well, maybe it wasn’t exactly a challenge, but I took it that way. I mean I am a food bloger/broadcaster/photographer/reporter, aren’t I, so I [...]

Cooking for 3D Friends

Company for Dinner

Since launching Justopia Cooks, I haven’t had many people for dinner. It’s been 18 months. Anyway, I invited a former coworker from Williams-Sonoma to dinner at the last minute. We decided to go to dinner last night, but culinary options are slim around here and rather than shelling out our [...]
