The Primeburger: A Throwback from 1965 Lives On
We left IAH in Houston on an early morning to LaGuardia Airport. A private car was waiting to pick us up and chauffeur us to the Waldorf-Astoria where we were staying for the next five days. Yeah, I was already in Heaven at that point. Certainly goes without saying. We checked in and waited on…
Wine Review: Campo Viejo Rioja Tempranillo Reserva 2007
I’ve never been one for Spanish wines and really wasn’t paying attention to the origin when I slid this Campo Viejo Tempranillo Rioja Reserva 2007 into my basket one evening. I’m always looking for something to try and why not? There are so many wines, good and bad to try. No reason to keep buying…
It's Time to Graduate to Intense Flavors
For those who know me, if it isn’t hot & spicy enough…it’s got to be hotter and spicier. I love bold flavors when it comes to my meal. I treat red crushed pepper flakes like kids want more Lucky Charms marshmallows. Today I bring you four products from Intensity Academy. My friends, it’s time to…

How does one break from the traditional way of buying wine? Well have someone give you a bottle of wine you would not normally look for … because you wouldn’t know where to look for it!A friend of mine knows I enjoy myself in the kitchen and always looking for a nice wine to compliment…
Salsa Review: New Arriba Fire-Roasted Mexican Morita Salsa
When it comes to salsa I love it hot and spicy! It is an extreme rarity that I even entertain the idea of buying ‘Medium’ heat in a salsa. Saturday afternoon I had gone to my local Kroger’s store to get a few things for a dinner I was preparing. While walking the aisle, the…
Wine Review: Llano Estacado Vintner's Selection Riesling
I am a big fan of white wines but not one for the ‘sweet’ variants on the market. I finally tried a Riesling and found one that I really enjoy for those hot summers. To me, a Riesling should be refreshing first and sweet second. As I was preparing dinner on a Saturday night, a…
