Filet Mignon with Whiskey Peppercorn Sauce and other bullshit I feel like talking about.

-

  I haven't written on this blog in quite a while. I used to try do it regularly...back when I cooked regularly.  As I've said before, ever since John went vegan, I just didn't cook as much as I used to. I barely eat and the kids are mostly gone, so what's the point?  

When I was cooking for the entire family, I really enjoyed it.....even though everyone had a different allergy.  Well, almost everyone.  My oldest didn't have any food allergies, he was just picky as shit.  Jimmy was (is) allergic to eggs and most seafood and Sara is also allergic to most seafood.  So for the most part, it was pretty easy to cook a good meal that EVERYONE could enjoy.  But then John became vegan 🤮 and I had to start cooking completely separate meals for him.  Then, one by one the kids started moving on and moving out and pretty soon it was just John, myself and Jimmy. 

When the kids were younger, we couldn't really afford going out to eat all that often.  We sacrificed a second income so I could stay home and raise the kids and we had to really budget things on one salary.  It could be super hard at times.  When we DID go out to eat, if I happened to have a meal I really enjoyed, I would try to recreate it at home.  I became pretty damn good at recreating fancy dinner meals.  I even had several recipes published. One of my favorites is below:

Anyhow, my point is I just don't really cook that much anymore.  At least not for me.  I will say, I'm getting pretty good at making vegan dishes for my husband, but I'm not vegan and I mostly hate vegan things, so I usually have toast for dinner.  And wine. 

Good news (I think), I've decided I'd like to start writing again and since I'm not cooking as often, I'm just going to write about whatever the hell I feel like writing about.  If I come across a good recipe, I'll post it.  So, hopefully I can improve this blog, add interesting content and entertain some of you with my stories and foul mouth. 


Cheers. 🍷

THE best ever salmon glaze/sauce

So, when we were in Alaska, we went to the Liarsville Salmon Bake in Ketchikan. I have to say that it was probably one of the best meals I have had anywhere, anytime. The salmon, was heaven, since obviously it was local, but the sauce was soooo good. The cook told me the recipe, but by the time I got home I had forgotten it. I searched the web and finally found it.  I'm soooo happy I found it. I will find somewhere on here to post it..... It has come to my attention that I NEVER posted the recipe!   OMG.  DUH.  So here it is:  In a double boiler melt:  1/2 LB of butter 2-3 Cups of brown sugar 1/4 cup of lemon juice 1/4 cup of pineapple juice Add the juices after the butter and brown sugar has combined.   Simmer on low heat, stirring frequently.   I like to marinate the salmon with some of the sauce and then when I'm cooking the salmon, baste with the sauce and you should still have enough to serve on the s...

Chicken Alfredo that would send Paula Deen into a diabetic coma. (Can I airmail chicken alfredo?)

-
So, tonight my son came up to me and asked me if I'd make some Chicken Alfredo. I almost told him to go fuck himself because I'm a bit on the pissy side today, but I thought, "What the hell."  Since my husband has been on this new "I can't eat anything but Alpo and Oranges diet", my kitchen has been boring as fuck. Seriously. My butter hasn't seen the light of day. I haven't bought heavy cream in 3 months. My parmesan cheese has been frozen in the freezer and my olive oil asked me for a divorce. Bit of a funk, eh? So, I ran to the store, fast. The way a pedophile runs to the nearest playground and I went NUTS buying GOOD shit! $7 parmesan! Heavy Cream! Cream cheese! 7 cheese shredded blend mix! WINE! Chicken bouillion and EGG freaking noodles. I had a culinary orgasm. Right in aisle 7. The biggest thing I had to debate was how many bottles of wine I needed to buy. I mean, I knew afterall, that I needed some wine in the sauce, I just couldn...
