I Celebrate Mardi Gras, Just not in New Orleans

I Celebrate Mardi Gras, Just not in New Orleans

Ah, Mardi Gras!  Fat Tuesday!  The culmination of all the revelry, debauchery, wild and crazy times, filled with lots of drink (too much for too many) and lots of good, I mean really good, food.  Believe it or not, I’ve never attended a Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans, and that’s weird for someone from […]

Tex-Mex Pot Luck

Tex-Mex Pot Luck

A friend from California called me recently asking for help. He was invited to an international pot luck and wanted something Tex-Mex to bring. So I threw out a couple ideas and came up with a show. I found a fantastic recipe for Taco Soup at the hunting camp last fall… you won’t believe how […]
