Ghirardelli Dipped Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

As the cold air of Winter ends, you know it’s that time of the year for Girl Scout Cookies! Every year I tell myself…No, no, no! I know you do that same thing but you know what? I help a great organization and to see the smiles on the little girls is priceless. For $20…

Salmon Pizza. Yes you heard right.

INSANE! It goes without saying … I LOVE PIZZA! My best pizza yet. So simple to prepare this pizza. I have yet to try making my own pizza dough and it’s time that I do it. This time around I used an Artisan pizza crest already made. First, I seasoned two medium sized salmon filets…

Valentine's Day 2013 with Friends

Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays you either look forward too with your significant other or you dread it because you’re single. Well I’m one of those single men who try to overlook the day and wait impatiently for the 15th. This year sitting around with friends and asking them what they had planned…

Celebration of Rejuvenation!

Sunday Lunch – Seafood Fair at Home

I enjoy having my sons cook along side me in the kitchen, especially when they are contributing to the meal with one of their own creations! Today my son, Austin and I headed to the grocery store to pick up a few things for a late lunch. We arrived back at the house to get…

Restaraunt Review: Pizzitola's – Houston's Home of the Spareribs

Yes we all know that Texas is synonymous with good ol’ bar-b-que. I know what you may say, Memphis and St. Louis has their own versions. Even California and New York have created their own spin on BBQ. I’m here to tell you about one place here in Houston that I enjoy. I will always…

Wine Review: Marques de Caceres Rioja Crianza Red 2008

I have really enjoyed seeking out Rioja wines. I think when a person gets into drinking wines they first reds they will go to is a Merlot. It’s a safe bet. Then graduate to a Cabernet and stay there. As I’ve always said before, there are too many wines not to try them all! I…

RC's Pizza: Texas Hometown New York City Pie

When it comes to pizza I am particular. I no longer order pizza from a national chain, nor will I walk into one and eat it there. A few years ago, when Domino’s changed their pizza recipe around two weeks before Christmas, I happened to order one from them the day after Christmas for my…

Wine Review: Vintage Ink Chardonnay 2009

Having been an artist for the last two decades, my taste of the arts is ever-changing. I like bold loud flaunting designs these days. Why be subtle? When you view a Picasso painting and thinking to yourself, Wow that guy was pretty far out-there and head of his time. Really? Or was it his vision…

Review: Barons de Rothschild-Lafite Reserve Speciale Bordeaux 2010

Friday evening I decided to stop by and pick up a chilled bottle of white wine on my way home. I had a very successful day at the office and figured I might as well treat myself with nice glass of wine and kick back for the evening. I wanted a white wine, something already…
