Terrible. I know its just terrible to make something so good and fattening and deep fry it for even more flavor. But what was also terrible is the recipes that I found when I googled deep fried macaroni and cheese. Some wrote about frying it in a skillet and adding ingredients and some wrote recipes that I believe they never tried like; use (a national known brand of) frozen macaroni and cheese (lets shorten it to mac & chz) and scoop it out of the foil package and bread it with white bread crumbs? How do you ‘scoop’ frozen mac… READ MORE!

I was asked by Mercy Ships (who I still presently work for) to fly to England in order to cook for the sail from Blyth, England ( a stop or two inbetween and then) to West Africa eventually meeting up with the Anastasis already on outreach in Monrovia Liberia.

A lot of times people make things out to be harder than what they are…like guacamole. I personally only need 2 ingredients (and maybe a third) to get down and dirty with a bag of tortilla chips. And yes, this will be American style fast food.

[I must admit that I fell for this April Fools joke. The article in Food Art was a joke, and I should be chuckled at just for not really paying attention to the names used in the article which clearly have food connotation/reference in them...but I must still add, that my attitude about it is the same, and I believe that these kind of people are still out there. So I would almost label this a 'prophetic' telling of whats to come next in this industry]In the March 2007 Food Art issue titled, Idol Hour was enough information, assumptions… READ MORE!

A Hunger Artist: Simple Tomato Sauce (Salsa di pomodoro)I added this link, it is a noteworthy simple recipe from canned tomatoes.The suggested canned tomato of choice is San Marzano and I believe its available from Krogers (for all my southern livin’ people out there, and maybe Publix) leave me a comment if you know which stores they are at for sure.Also suggested tomato brands: Cento, Muir Glen
