Yesterday I was seriously involved with drudge work homemaking. At about 3pm I was in the kitchen and wondered what we were having for supper so I looked at the menu. OOPS! It’s Marica Cooks Monday! I had planned a cold salad supper so no big deal. Mr. Big Food made the dressing when he
Our Independence Day Celebrations concluded with these magnificent burgers on the flat top. The rarity? This is the second time this year Mr. Big Food has made these! With 39,000+ recipes in The Big Food Manual and Survivalist Flourishing Guide, it doesn’t happen often. Here’s the recipe, though he did make a couple of substitutions.
What an interesting day it’s been. It took me literally nine hours to post that photograph. I will not bore you on Independence Day with the details but I am out of space. You’re seeing the pancakes only because I deleted some videos of the sky and gave myself some wiggle room. 20gigs isn’t what

These were remarkably good! I have fresh dill out in the garden and it makes a difference. This is, of course, the appetizer version. “Cook’s Notes: “Ingredient Substitution: One-half teaspoon of dried dill weed can be used in place of the fresh dill. “Recipe Variation: These open-face sandwiches make great appetizers.

As I said, it was wonderful! Served with homemade tartar sauce and Baked Southern Grits. Pompano fresh from The Gulf via The Asian Market in Starkvegas.
We made our routine every-other-week run to Starkvegas today. Phoned in two Blue Plate Special orders to The Veranda, picked ’em up and drove to campus where we had lunch on the porch of Mr. Big Food’s building. First time he’d been in his office since… well, you know. Campuses are lovely places when there
This is sort of a re-post from a few years ago. Here’s what I said at the time: It was delicious. It’s from Healthy Home Cooking: Fresh Ways with Poultry, The Editors of Time-Life Books (1986). Look how involved the instructions are. If I’m remembering correctly, in 1986 we women were wearing suit jackets with
It’s quote-unquote kabobs because clearly, it is not kabobs. And Mr. Big Food modified the recipe to include some sort of marinade that the ingredients marinated in all afternoon. Then as he was tossing the stuff around, the marinade substituted for butter. The reasoning was that the temperature on the surface of the flat-top– I
A Big Food Favorite! Mr. Big Food has done these burgers on the charcoal grill, but their texture is a bit crumbly. They turn out better on the Flat-Top, or inside in a skillet. This recipe came originally from a Saveur magazine issue. As is his habit, Mr. Big Food often includes commentary from the

Mr. Big Food grilled two filets this evening. They were perfect. The steak knives self-identified as butter knives. We had real onion rings and Spicy Frozen Cucumbers as sides. And then we fed Jack & The Dummies, came inside, and finished watching The Odd Couple. A disturbing movie when watched with some years under your
