Twice Baked Potatoes
It’s weird having to add a whole stick of butter to my potatoes, but knowing what I was making, I knew it was worth it. This recipe was from the Angus Barn and it is delicious.
First you take 6 potatoes and bake them thoroughly. I just use a microwave. Then you cut them in half [...]
Can You Eat A Chain Letter?
Everyone probably has been sent an e-mail where you are told to pass it on or else! I always delete those, but when my colleague Donald Jones brought me a bag of batter and told me to spend ten days squeezing the bag then to use it to make a bread, I was intrigued.
It’s called [...]
Pizza, Pizza
It’s not polite to talk with food in your mouth, but what about talking for food? Yesterday, I got to speak to students at the School Of Communication Arts about my journey through broadcasting.
I was joined by our traffic reporter, Tica Lema. I heard that the students were having a pizza lunch after the presentation, and somehow [...]
Home Grown Tomatoes
“Homegrown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can’t buy
That’s true love and home grown tomatoes.”
I really like those lyrics to the song called, you guessed it, Homegrown Tomatoes. There is nothing like pulling a ripened tomato right off the vine and eating it. I have never found [...]
It’s Greek To Me and Delicious
Went to the Greek festival in Chapel Hill yesterday for a feast. St. Barbara’s Greek Orthodox Church of Durham and Chapel Hill put on the event. No plates were broken but the food put on the plates was wonderful.
My only problem with Greek food is I can’t pronounce most of the names. I can surely [...]
Salt salt salt everywhere
After visiting the doctor, and thinking about better nutrition; I decided to see if I could watch my sodium intake and still enjoy eating.
They say the average American consumes up to two times the amount of sodium recommended by the USDA.
Even though I don’t salt my food at the table, I am amazed at the amount of [...]
Cooking with the Barn at home.
When my family wants to eat somewhere special the first place that comes to mind is the Angus Barn.
The Angus Barn is a wonderful restaurant where they know how to make you feel special. Owner Van Eure will see to that.
Well, when deciding what to cook for dinner yesterday, the thought of baby back ribs came [...]
Day Old Bread?
How come some food tastes better a day later? The lasagna that I was inspired to cook because of our chilly weekend turned out fine for our Monday dinner. However, I had more lasagna on Tuesday and it seemed richer and more flavorful. I know bread tastes best when fresh out the oven, but I [...]
Basketball Beats Lasagna
Over the weekend we planned to have lasagna, but there were some good basketball games yesterday, and as I posted a week ago…during games you have got to have “game watching” food. So during the Davidson, Kansas game, homemade nachos became our Sunday night dinner.
We bought some white corn chips and a pound of lean ground beef. I [...]
Smack Down Weekend
Friday we had a high of 81, today we stay in the 50s and tomorrow we stay in the 40s. Now that is a smack down on spring. I am going to get to wear my sweaters and sweatshirts again. Maybe the Tarheel sweatshirt will be a nice fit for tonight. While I enjoyed the warmth [...]
