Writer, Foodie, Thinker: July 2010
http://gregwalker-writer.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Writer, Foodie, Thinker. Wednesday, July 14, 2010. The Whispering Pines was far from my parents' home, and it was a fairly rare treat when we went. It is long gone now, but we drive by its old location on a fairly regular basis. It is an empty office building now. It is easy to spot, as it is right next to the Whispering Pines trailer park, and, sadly, whenever we drive by my mouth starts watering. Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Or, better yet, a Gov'nor Plus Four. Friday, July 9, 2010. 1 cup sugar or honey.

Writer, Foodie, Thinker. Saturday, February 27, 2010. So, here it is. My good friend, Dennis, is going to loan me some equipment, and soon I will be getting my voice out there. I am looking forward to this eagerly. I plan to put up another weblog of a somewhat more professional nature to use as a reference, and I will post some readings there. Wish me luck! Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Corn oil, for frying, or another oil with high smoke point, such as safflower or peanut. 1 teaspoon baking powder. Lightl...

Writer, Foodie, Thinker. Monday, June 28, 2010. Independence Day, ranks as one of my very favorite holidays. It is a time when family and loved ones gather for food and for ignoring all the fire-safety rules that we have spent our lives learning. We set barbecues ablaze, we crimp the Piccolo Petes until they explode like little sticks of whistling dynamite and, in short, we have fun. We sometimes get up the gumption to hit the Carmichael 4. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Though it seems like Twilight. Came out ...

Writer, Foodie, Thinker. Monday, January 4, 2010. Wal*Mart and the Evil Empire of the East. Wal-Mart, that icon of Midwestern thrift, is taking the first steps that any major American chain has taken in saving the environment by no longer providing disposable bags to its customers. Customers may buy reusable bags at check stands, and they are encouraged to bring them back to the store to re-use them over and over. Isn't this swell? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Writer, Foodie, Thinker. Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Angels. With Wine. Las Vegas. It is glitzy, cheesy, and 100% ugly American. So why do I find my self drawn to this place? Part of it, I suspect, is here at Aureole, Las Vegas. Next time I am in town, I am definitely going to swing by to get myself a nice Margeaux. Extreme Vegas - Aureole Wine Angels.

Writer, Foodie, Thinker. Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Irish Steamed Chocolate Pudding. I did not do the chocolate mint pudding for Christmas, as I intended, but I did to my old reliable steamed chocolate pudding. This requires semi-sweet chocolate, but do not skimp on it and go with the Nestlés – this is a great place to use the good stuff. The end product is really dependent on the quality of the chocolate used. Warm from the kettle this is deeply decadent. Irish Steamed Chocolate Pudding. The French, co...

Writer, Foodie, Thinker: The Volcano Combo
http://gregwalker-writer.blogspot.com/2011/06/volcano-combo.html
Writer, Foodie, Thinker. Friday, June 17, 2011. When I was a wee lad, as the temperatures headed for the triple digits, my sainted mother would break out the backyard barbecue grill, a decidedly pre-Weber Kettle affair, and she would often serve dinner at a picnic table in our gargantuan back yard. To ease the dense Northern California heat, she would break out a variety of cool beverages, and one of the adult favorites was the Volcano Combo. 1 quart, good vanilla ice cream. 1 pint, Cognac. Mennonite gir...

Writer, Foodie, Thinker. Saturday, January 8, 2011. Grandma had elixirs that were surefire recipes to get you back on your feet in no time flat. These mysterious remedies included chicken soup and hot compresses and, of course, the hot toddy. Personally, I do not know if the hot toddy is a cure for anything, but it sure makes living with a cold a lot easier! This is my grandmama’s recipe and it works every time. Brew a pot of black tea adding a cinnamon stick, some cloves and a few whole cardamom seeds.
