I don’t eat at the Olive Garden anymore. I worked for another chain owned by the same parent company and I am boycotting them, so I won’t eat at the Olive Garden for the same reason. However, I was looking for a good short rib recipe tonight and found this one interesting.

It sure looks like a lot of work to me, for a good short rib recipe.

A while back, Chef John showed us how to make sushi rice using, of all things, sushi rice. Last week he posted the video for making California rolls (for those of us who cannot stand raw fish). He said it was for the people with raw fish phobia. I am not afraid of raw fish, I just cannot stand it so I prefer California rolls.

Oh yeah, it doesn’t hurt that California rolls contain crab and avocado. Hehe. Imagine that, a recipe that includes two of my four favorite foods. (The others being steak and artichokes).

I really want to make these, so I will be buying the crab on payday. I will post pics when I make them.

Make sure you visit Chef John at Food Wishes and tell him how great he is. He singlehandedly makes losing weight impossible in this house.

I’ve been in a bit of a food funk lately. The kids have all taken turns being sick, and I haven’t had the time (or energy) to play in the kitchen, so it’s time for another recipe video from Chef John. He’s been real busy doing his about.com videos, but here’s an older one that I still plan on making soon.

Maybe I will make a video when I make this, just to show you how unprofessional I can be in the kitchen. ha!

As you probably already know, you can see more of his videos at Food Wishes.

Here’s a delicious recipe for garlic mashed potatoes.

Oh yeah, you’ve got to have garlic. I’m not so sure you need to potato ricer though.

Tonight, I was in the mood for Mexican food. I have been craving homemade flour tortillas, refried beans, and guacamole. So what did we do? We ordered pizza. It sucks to be outvoted 4 to 1.

Tomorrow I am definitely having Mexican food. I’m even going to make my own homemade flour tortillas.

I was craving shrimp tonight.

Of all the things in the world to copy, why the Big Mac? I guess everyone has there thing huh?
