On The Road With Kitchen Warfare (Day 5)
La Segunda Central Bakery
There’s nothing quite like visiting your home town after being away for awhile. In my case I hadn’t been back to Tampa in 12 years. Its always amazing how many things have changed yet how so many others remain the same. We visited the old neighborhood and knocked on the door […]

The Best Day Ever!
Well at least one of them. This morning we got up and drove the 150 miles or so from Old Town to Kissimmee, FL which is just south of Orlando and no this isn’t going to be about a day at Disney. As far as that goes I spent most of […]

On The Road With Kitchen Warfare (Day 3)
Today we wanted to take advantage of our location and head over to Cedar Key, FL for lunch. Located on the West coast Cedar Key is a small island town of about 800 residents. Due to its geography (no interstates or big cities for miles and miles) it remains largely untouched by corporate commercialism. […]

Sad Food Fact
U.S food producers currently dedicate about 4 million acres of land to organic production, which is only 4% of al U.S. farmland.

OXO Comes Through
Just to follow up and give OXO their props I just got a brand new replacement for the broken garlic press. To be fair to OXO it arrived in our area a few days ago but because we’re on a private road in rural Can-Tuc-Kee any time we don’t get our regular UPS/FedEx/DHL driver […]

Crack Goes The Garlic (Press) - What Will OXO Do?
For years whenever I needed minced garlic I’d do one of two things. If it was a small amount I’d mince by hand and if were a large bit I’d toss the cloves into the food processor.

‘Will It Blend?’ and more Blendtec Blender Blather
When I first saw Tom Dickson turn a rake handle into sawdust with a blender I thought he might be a candidate for our dubious prestigious Honorary Kitchen Warrior award. But as it turns out he’s just a guy trying to sell blenders.

Breakfast - It’s What’s For Dinner
There just doesn’t seem to be a lot of room for breakfast any more. I don’t mean your daily high fiber whole wheat muffin and slice of mango. I mean a good down home traditional American breakfast. The breakfast meals of our my youth were high calorie high fat affairs that would drown a […]
