I volunteered to make the turkeys this year, one bird was 16 pounds, one 19 pounds. I hoped to smoke them, but I was not able to procure a smoker in time (or learn how to use one). Instead, we roasted them in our brand new oven (literally the second thing we made in it). …

I do not write about food enough, but I love Asian food. Here is a mix of various items I’ve tried recently with one South of the Border option nearby that is super tasty. I finally discover the best instant udon noodle, and learn that I’ve transcended the “neat and simple” rule I follow when …

I visited Party Source in Newport KY recently. We were in the area and I’ve not been inside the store in quite a while. I don’t think I’ve been in there since they’ve remodeled it. I did find that they had the same great selection of items, but it seemed to me at least the …

The Columbia restaurant, located in Ybor City Heights in Tampa Florida, is one of those “foodie list” type destinations having been featured on multiple Food Channel shows. It’s a beautiful restaurant, with history dating back to the neighborhood’s Cuban origins. Many believe it serves up the quintessential Spanish dining experience, so we happily gave it …

I don’t say this lightly, but Ole Times is the best buffet I’ve ever been to in my life. Everything they had was delicious and the variety was tremendous. This is a real southern buffet, and those who really know southern food know what should be on it. Of course you have your barbecue, your …
