One of my all time favorite pastimes is cooking with my brother.  We share a love of all things food.  We spend our time talking about food and all the new recipes we’ve tried recently.  Sadly due to the distance, we spend a lot of time talking about food.  So when we do get together, [...]

Another day, another meal in the wood fired oven.  It’s a tough life.  Tonight, my mom roasted a couple of chooks (chickens) and some veggies.

After a string of restaurant meals, we thought it was time for some home cooking.  Of course, with a wood fired oven in the back yard, home cooking takes on a whole new dimension. The Aussie said he felt like a steak.  There are some great steak restaurants in town, but we do a pretty [...]

We have been on a tour of Baton Rouge restaurants lately, and Day 10 is no exception.  This morning, we went to brunch at Beausoleil with my sister and her boyfriend. Beausoleil is not the same old boring brunch, and I realized I was in for something different when the waitress presented us with a [...]
