Food Pornography: Wet and Wild


This is something I made a while back but I was struck by the picture today while going through some old photos of things we've eaten. I call this Blackened Wild Sockeye Salmon over Spanish Rice Salad. I can't really describe how good this was. Blackened fish is probably our favorite but Salmon in general is hard to screw up. I'm preparing an experimental dish as I write this, a Salmon dish with tomatillas and chipotle butter. I'll be working on getting a post up with the recipe and details in the coming week or so. I'd also like to touch on the controversy over genetically modified Salmon, so-called Frankenfish. So stay tuned, and eat right. Always eat Wild fish!

Food Pornography Series: Morning Wood


Welcome to a new series I'm putting together called Food Pornography. I take a lot of pictures of the food my wife and I eat at home (and sometimes at restaurants too) and would like to begin sharing those photos with you. This is just a taste of how we eat and how, with a little effort, you can eat too. For my first offering we have this mornings breakfast, coconut and chocolate chip pancakes with agave syrup, bacon, berries and fried plantans. The plantans were fried in regular veggie oil and then drizzled with honey and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. For a Saturday this is pretty typical. Breakfast is around 9:30, then maybe a little nap or an outting. Today we're going to Oktoberfest in Deming.
