Gotta Feed The Kid™ - You Keep Seeing This - I know!

Gotta Feed The Kid™ 

is a little project I am working on - and I admit I am moving pretty slow. I did secure the URL and I have bounced the idea around with a few "people" to enthusiastic responses but like I said I am moving pretty slow. 

You might have noticed me mentioning it a lot on my FaceBook Page - that is about as far as I have come with this and I am hoping to kick start it a little more.

Today was a simple lunch of pulled pork I made in my Char-Broil Big Easy . Trouble free cooking. 

I made a simple yellow mustard with agave, lemon juice and white vinegar "bbq sauce" to go with these sandwiches. Delicious.

One of the most popular and frequent dishes is what we call "Food Truck Chicken" and this is based off this little to go platter that my son likes to get just outside his school from a Halal Food Truck. There is a Mosque just up the block so this food truck is strategically placed.

My son is also my food tester so he gets to eat a lot of pretty food too.

I am hoping to find the time to commit to this project with all the attention it deserves and I hope that by posting this publicly I will - wish me luck.

Not For Everyone

Gorgonzola dolce is a cheese you have to love. Gorgonzola Naturale, well it loves you. It really isnt someting that you can learn to love you either do or you dont. It has a strong, pungent sweetness that is sometimes so seductive it leaves you feeling unfaithful after eating it. Many years ago one of my friends was trying to like it when he said "how will I explain this smell to my wife" and we laugh about that even now. I like it in pasta, dolloped over a steak, lamb or pork chop, spread on a cracker and even scooped up with a spoon, but my all time favorite is in a crepe drizzled with honey.

I eat like six of these and get such a euphoric feeling that makes me want to...well you know what.

I made a bread pudding out of this giant scone from Trader Joes. I had my little guy tear it into pieces and then I soaked it with egg custard liquid, you know eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar and a dash of salt, I even scattered a few extra raisins on top. Then it was popped in the oven until set. It is so good, like a dense french toast and we eat it with whipped cream.

And on an even lighter note here is the guy having soy milk and waffles all grumpy before school the other day.
