Miso-Glazed Salmon with Bok Choy January 10, 2012 at 11:04 pm

My wonderful husband surprised me with this dish tonight for dinner. Fan-freaking-tastic. Serves 4, you can do this with a broiler or on the grill. If sodium is a concern, I’d probably not try this one.

Okay, not food related. But fun.

1. Thou shalt not ride the Metro reeking of body odor and death breath.

Cacique Restaurant November 27, 2011 at 9:56 pm

One of the things I love about living in Frederick, MD is the adorable downtown with the fabulous eateries. One of my favorite places is Cacique Restaurant. Their Web site boasts “A celebration of Mexican and Spanish cuisine is what you will find at Cacique. We offer a fine dining experience in a comfortable, cozy atmosphere with great food, reasonable cost and exceptional service.” And it is mostly true. Having been to Mexico, I can tell you that the Mexican dishes totally take me back to Cancun. I have not tried the Spanish menu, but it does look incredible.

Thank You, Chef Voltaggio November 5, 2011 at 4:41 pm

If you have a bucket list, you need to add eating at Volt Restaurant in downtown Frederick, MD to the top of it. If you don’t have a bucket list, start one. Now. And add eating at Volt to the top of it. I’ll give you a couple of minutes to finish that up.

Date Night: Famous Dave’s Barbecue August 25, 2011 at 10:29 pm

Won’t be going back there for a while. Started feeling nauseated not even halfway through the meal. Oh, but do try the mac and cheese. That was tasty. They use four types of cheese and add a little bit of corn and jalapeno. Very creamy and the corn adds a little bit of sweetness and the jalapeno gave it a nice kick. Avoid the green beans. They were gross. The Saint Louis ribs were a tad dry and it was difficult to get the meat off the bone (that’s what she said). The sauce was good, though. The brisket was, as always, beautiful.

Date Night: Coal Fire Pizza August 18, 2011 at 11:22 pm

In my house, Thursday night is date night. A night where my husband and I leave the animals at home and spend time together. This, of course, generally involves food. Thought I’d start writing about the third love of my life – food.
