I am starting a new weekly feature called “Tasty Tuesdays”!

Every Tuesday on “Tasty Tuesdays”, I will showcase a triumph (or miserable failure) of a culinary undertaking.

Rus and I have always been into cooking and love all types of food from Japanese to Italian.  We love shows like “No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain” (we miss it!), “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern”, “Iron Chef” and others on the Food TV channel here.  We even took an Indian food cooking class this time last year.

Our style tends to be simple using lots of fresh ingredients - organic meats, vegetables (especially from our gardens!), olive oils, ginger, garlic, and herbs - and can be prepared in reasonable amounts of time.

Use it as a guide to plan your weekly meals, spice up (pun intended) your current menu, learn a new trick or two, or just laugh when I screw up (just wait until we get to breads!).  It’s up to you!  Please be sure to leave comments, especially of your results if you try something I post!
