Here is another canned delight from Sweden that brought I back from our trip this past December. Given, this one came straight from the grocery store’s prepared foods aisle and not from a gourmet food boutique. The first picture is slightly misleading, since I mixed a bowl of rice into the can o’ stuff. That [...]
Back in the late 90′s, I was fortunate enough to visit New Orleans a couple of times (I don’t really count the times my family visited back when we lived in Houston because I was far too young to have a vote in what we did there) for lavish masquerade balls. If there are two [...]

I picked up a packet of lemon pepper pappardelle pasta a couple weeks ago at Trader Joe’s, and have been looking for something to make with it. Lemon and pepper automatically suggest seafood or chicken, but I didn’t strike upon the exact one until I ended up with a bag of langostino tails this past [...]
