This one goes out to my friends at the magical, mystical CF Ranch for letting me take over the kitchen in their private residence and cook up some Javelina. That is love.
These are the back straps from the Javelina, silver skin removed (as we talked about yesterday). They marinated for quite some time. Since Javelina…
Raise your hand if you have rabbit or chicken in your freezer.
Great! Let's talk.
I am about to embark on a hunting spree. Elk in Wyoming, Javelina in El Paso, Pheasant in South Dakota, Partridge in England, Snowshoe Rabbit in Alaska, Squirrel in… where should I hunt squirrel? I hear they really know how to do…
If I was sent to that proverbial island and there was one food I could take, it would be liver mousse. I can hear your collective gasp. Most people are reviled by the stuff, but I call it God’s pudding. It’s slightly sweet and very rich and I could eat it endlessly.
It serves as the…
Let's face it, you're all winners in my heart.
BUT two of you are big winners today. I loved reading your recipes, they were awefully delicious looking. It took me longer than expected to decide. If I weren't roaming L.A. right now I'd be in the kitchen making all of them.
They looked so good I could…

I'm not a man.
I just play one on the Internets.
That being said, I am mildly obsessed with good whiskey. And now good cigars. But maybe just cigars because you don't have to inhale. And I have no idea how to inhale. I have no future as a chain smoker. I've tried and failed a time…
I just returned from a beautiful place. It was a deer hunting lodge along the Mississippi river near Lake Village, Arkansas. The weekend was filled with a remarkable set of characters from the surrounding south, a whole roasted pig dripping with molasses and bacon, good scotch and cigars, and good guitar playing. And it was…
Today, we make this:
One fruit, so many possibilities. Quince granita, quince pâté de fruits, quince soup, poached quince, quince jelly, quince sauce, quince fritters...oh wait...
They are one of my favorite fruits. Look how nice and pink they become when you cook them, a soothing glamorous pink.
But they start off this color. Green with a hint of yellow.…
