Durian – Hail to the King, baby.

When most people are told to think of a tropical fruit they think of bananas or mango or even guava… most don’t think of the durian.

To tell the truth, many people in this part of the world have never heard of this fruit, but once you see one (or smell one), they’re pretty hard to forget.

Remembering Omaha

Originally this was supposed to be my last post before leaving Omaha. Unfortunately due to many different things, this didn’t get finished.

Luckily the dust is settling and what was once my last post from Omaha will be my first post from Panama City. Today I fondly look back at my favorite Omaha places…

Let’s get moving!...
Let’s get moving!

In just a few weeks this blogger will be posting live from sunny Florida, rather than snowy Nebraska. What a change in scenery, no?

This move will be a challenge for me, though, as Northwestern Florida isn’t known for its food scene. In fact, I don’t think it has one.

Vosges Bacon Caramel Toffee

While doing my shopping for Thanksgiving this week, I didn’t actually think I’d find one of the best taste combinations I’d ever eaten.

Vegan/Gluten-Free Chocolate-Chip Cookies

I always feel bad for people with gluten allergies. They miss out on some of the best food, one of them being cookies. The “cookies” they get usually are like stones.

This is a first for me on this site so far… a bad review. Not just a normal bad review, but a really horrible one.

This one actually has me preparing to go back there and speak to their management and could perhaps involve law enforcement. We’ll just say I won’t be back.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Ghost Cookies

Last weekend I was going through all the things I had leftover from the Farmer’s Market and I found a Ghost Chile (Naga Jolokia) pepper in my fridge.

At the same time I had been craving some sort of cookie and thought I’d give a pumpkin cookie a try. C’mon in and let me know what you think!!

From Corn to Hominy

This past week I had an idea. I ended up with a ton of Indian corn from the Farmer’s Market and I thought I’d make hominy out of it. Nice, right?

Let’s just say I have a whole new respect for this stuff and will walk you through all of what it takes to make it, no matter how long it takes!
