Contrary to popular belief, Mexican hooch isn’t all about fruity beer, worms, and margaritas. Not that there’d be anything wrong if it were. I’ve spent whole weekends living off of nothing but those three things, and aside from a recurring facial tic and a few flashbacks, I’m fine.
Holy Jalapeño! A Poppers Cookbook

St Patrick’s Day Pizza and Leprechaun Pie
Over the last year or so, I’ve delved deeply into the world of pizza. It’s culminating with the Pizza Trivia book I’m writing with Dave and Lois. Maybe that’s why I got the notion in my head yesterday to put together a Saint Patrick’s Day pizza of my own. As much beer as people put away for the holiday, a theme pizza seemed a natural.

So long, bland, heavy, and salty. As demonstrated by these delicious and tongue-tingling Shabbat recipes, Natalie Portman isn’t the only hot Jewish dish!

Meet Morfia’s Ribs and Pies
Morfia’s Ribs and Pies is a little hole-in-the-wall in Marina del Rey, two doors down from Bartels Harley-Davidson. The place has a very modest, warm feel but that’s not too surprising. Irine and her mom, Morfia, have extensive restaurant experience. Friendly service and good food are practically second nature to them.

Building on my happiness with the smoked pumpkin experiment, I got a little more ambitious: smoked pumpkin pie. Trot this one out for Thanksgiving and see what happens.
