Jackie Garvin — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 23:16:16 +0000

Goulash was a popular school lunchroom meal and home kitchen meal back in my day. Ground beef was cheap, very cheap. So we ate a lot of it. One day in 5th grade, a classmate innocently mentioned something about eating goulash and how much he liked it. Unknowingly, he struck a nerve with the substitute...

Extra Meaty Spaghetti Sauce

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 02:08:22 +0000

My husband, Sam, has never seemed especially interested in cooking. Oh, he likes cooking and the eating that follows. He’s just never seemed particularly interested in being the one who produces the cooking that subsequently gets eaten. He’s just fine with the role of being the subsequent eater. Until one day, he was visiting his friend, Bob,...

To suffocate, to deprive of oxygen or to suppress are meanings of smothered. If you relate more closely to food terms than to oxygen deprivation or constraints, smothered means covered with gravy or a thick sauce. If the latter grabs your attention more so than the former, welcome to my world. Let’s get going with some...

Lime and Thyme Rhyme(Recipe: Lime and Thyme Marinated Flank Steak)

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:40:07 +0000

As I juiced the lime and washed the thyme for this recipe, a thought rattled around in my gray matter, “Do all foods that rhyme go together?”.
