Cajun Seasoning
I like Cajun food, especially red beans and rice, but it is a challenge to make it here in the Midwest because most all of the commercially available Cajun seasonings are little more than a celebration of salt. Hence, the following recipe. This recipe doesn’t contain as much cayenne pepper as you might think, and …read more…
Bean Dip á la Frito Lay
I think anything sounds fancy if you add “á la” to the name. Don’t you agree? Anyway, when I was younger, I could eat good old Frito Lay bean dip by the gallon. It’s pricy (around three dollars a can in these parts), and it’s high in sodium, so these days it’s not something I …read more…

Most people are aware of Whitney Houston’s version, which is one of the first times I’ve ever preferred a cover to the original, but what I did not know is …read more…
Notes for Young Pioneers
Because of $reasons, I have a lot of young people in my life right now who are taking their first steps into the bigger, adult world. A handful of them have asked me for various bits of advice, and because I like to write and also because I hate repeating myself (there are more efficient …read more…
Silent Noise Project #007 — the everybody lies episode
OMGWTFBBQ!!! It’s another episode of the Silent Noise Project! — Actually, it’s episode number seven, after a four year hiatus!
Mushrooms Provençale
Mushrooms are one of my favorite foods. You can slice them into a salad, chop them finely and add them to a meatloaf (try it!), roast them, bake them in a bit of beef broth, or simply sauté them in a bit of oil and butter, which is probably the easiest way to turn three …read more…
