CILANTRO CRACK SAUCE

Once upon a Christmas Eve a few years back I experienced the spirit of Colombian Christmas like never before. There was chorizo and empanadas and aguardiente and arepas, but the one item that caused me to fall to my knees in gratitude was the cilantro crack sauce. We put it on everything that night. There wasn't a piece of chorizo, empanada, arepa or piece of cardboard that didn't get smothered in this sauce. Now don't be thinking that there was actually crack in that sauce because I am Colombian. Remember, we don't do the drugs, we just sell them to [...]

THE YUCKY AND YUMMY OF EATING OUT

Anytime I eat out, I either experience something that I really love or don't love so much and often wonder if anyone else agrees with my observations.

Two T’s in Japanese! Tamagoyaki & Tonkatsu – Video!

Tamagoyaki & Tonkatsu I must have been Japanese in another life, but you wouldn't know it by the first time I ate sushi when I turned green and promptly spit into my napkin. Luckily, I overcame my silliness and became a HUGE fan of Japanese food and not just sushi. Many folks don't know that the Japanese are masters at the grill and the fryer, but that is another post altogether! Psyche. This post is about Tamago or as Yuko corrected me, Tamagoyaki and Tonkatsu. Nope these aren't the names of my favorite Animé characters, but two of [...]

STICK IT IN YOUR EAR – the video

Not too long ago, my fellow and I hosted a party where we wanted to serve corn on a skewer so people could roll their corn in whatever topping they desired. I had a few hours before our "event", so I called all over the place and could not find candied apple skewers. I chose this route because that is what they use in Colombia to skewer grilled corn and it is much sturdier than a skinny shish kebab skewer. In warm parts of Colombia, you can pretty much find a grilled corn vendor on every block. You can probably [...]
