Orecchiette Pasta

I've been craving some orecchiette pasta like my class made at the school restaurant. The spicy sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, broccoli, white wine and stock sauce, all of it blended to make it one of my favorite pasta dishes. I would prepare it by browning the sausage first. Then, once I had a good color, I would remove the sausage from the pan and add some shallots and garlic. Once the shallots and garlic smell good I add white wine to deglaze the pan and finish deglazing with stock. once the sauce is seasoned and tastes good add the almost cooked pasta and broccoli, then the sausage and sun-dried tomatoes. Tossing all together while still over the flame. Once complete, Throw in a little whole butter and add as much parmesan cheese as you like and toss just till it melts then enjoy.

Fruit

Which fruit is your favorite to eat by itself and raw? My personal favorite is pineapple. I think I could eat as many as were put in front of me to be honest. What makes the pineapple my favorite is the tingle from the enzymes in the pineapple and the perfect balance of sweet with just enough sour. I wonder what makes your favorite fruit, your favorite.

Caramel Apple Ice Cream

I saw a really good idea for a dessert on twitter the other day. what you did was core out an apple so that the apple turns into a bowl. Leave enough apple to still be able to bite into apple. Fill the middle with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle caramel sauce over the top of it. It looked absolutely delicious. Something I definitely want to try.

Sodas

I try to stay away from soda as much as possible but there is always one soda I will give in to. Mountain Dew. It is, by far, the best soda out there. No matter how long I've managed to stay away from soda and not tempt myself, if a Mountain Dew is presented to me I will drink it. I am like this with no other soda. Mountain Dew just has a magical spell over me that I simply cannot break.

March Madness is a great time of year for me. Basketball, which is my second favorite sport to watch on tv, is at its pinnacle of competition. Working at a bar I get to enjoy a lot of these games while working at the same time, and when I get off most of my friends and I hang out at this bar. those best days are when we are all up there watching the slew of games on, throwing darts during the slow times and eating deep fried tacos. Deep fired tacos are so simple, yet there is something addictive about them. Not to mention they are only 3 dollars for four of them. Deep fry the taco shell with meet in it, throw in some of your favorite taco sauce,a slice of American cheese, and lettuce and enjoy. Friends, drinks, basketball, darts, and tacos are the recipe for a good day.

Gone From Our Lives but Not From Our Hearts.

Dunkaroos were my favorite childhood snack at school. When I was in elementary school dunkaroos were the best snack a kid could have. Now, dunkaroos are a thing of the past. kids today,at least around my area, don't get to enjoy the delicious icing and Grahm cracker cookie. Kids would always try to trade for them but if fate had smiled upon you that day and blessed you with dunkaroos chances are you weren't going to turn your back on that and trade them away. So, this post is for all the great snacks out there that are gone but never forgotten.

Fish Fry Friday

Every Friday at work during lent time is full of fish platters and fish sandwiches. It is almost hard to keep up with defrosting the fish as the orders come in because of the space issues. It gets to the point where you just want people to order something else so you can get away from the fish for a couple minutes. The absolute worst part about it is that you make so many that you can't eat fish for lunch that day because you are sick of them.
