Today is a day of recovery, whether its from the nonsense of family gatherings, overwhelming amounts of gifts, stuffing your face with rich over indulgent food, or even an eggnog hangover, you should all be inside watching that glorious snow fall. I know Frankie and I are in fat pants at our respective homes, most likely watching Food Network...atleast I definitely am. I think Ive seen one episode of Iron Chef 8 times in one week...you know the one where Morimoto make a smoker out of ICE! Lets not forget the one where Robert Irvine and Butter Queen Paula Dean join the fun in a holiday sugar battle. Currently airing from 2008, Jamie Oliver (a fellow Brit) is battling Iron Chef Mario Batali. In Olivers into, his accomplishments were mentioned many of which revolving around organic foods, from the farm to the table, or rather from your backyard to your table, he also, apparently, has started movements both home and abroad to limit "junk food" in schools and promote more healthy eating. Whats wrong with good, clean, FRESH food?! Not a damn thing. I am personally in favor of "clean" eating. More people should cook at home, thats really what this Blog promotes ADVENTURES IN COOKING! Don't you want to know what you and your family is consuming? Control your own portions? Your budget?! For the New Year 2011, Frankie, our friends, and myself invite you to join us and cook what ever your little hearts desire, try new foods, wander through your supermarkets! Stop and smell the aromas of garlic, onions and steak emanating from your kitchens... Make it feel like home. Be well, stay warm.
P.s dont get me wrong, going out is wicked fun too...Especially really nice food.

Happy Holidays!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Sorry for our very long absence, we apologize for leaving you without a word. However the season of over indulging, over spending, and of course over eating is upon us. I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving, we most certainly did! Frankie and I created a meal to be envied by those of you who had to pre order from Boston Market and listen to your moms and aunts bicker over whos pie came out the best. Though we had the small usual group, we only had to make a turkey breast basted and seasoned to perfection with sides including mashed potatos from Giada comprised of mozzarella and parmasean cheese and pancetta, green beans with almonds. For starters we had to go back to the seasonal favorite curried sweet potato soup, and a homemade spinach and artichoke dip also including bacon. Sorry Robin, we will always need to add bacon. P.s look forward to a Bacon only post.
This was the one time we did not make dessert, but it was provided by Frankies mom and Robins homemade pumpkin pie.
Coming up, yet another evening of free food for our friends and family. A "CHARLES" DICKENS CHRISTMAS. This will hopefully be complete with cornish hens. and sticky toffee pudding.
To everyone, we hope you realize the importance of family and friends. Take the opportunity to spend time with your families and Try to enjoy their company. Eat Drink and Merry.
