Chop's Chops: May 2008
http://chopschops.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
A real-life account of cooking and eating. Friday, May 30, 2008. Top Chef Generation X. We are now into the final challenges, which have whisked the cheftestants away to Puerto Rico for the finale. Last year, there were 3 people in the finale. There were 2 the year before. Perhaps this year there will be 4? Or maybe there is another elimination challenge yet to come. In any event, not the point. You’re the one person who didn’t like him? My biggest issue is that not only does the overall talent level see...

Chop's Chops: Thanksgiving in July-ish
http://chopschops.blogspot.com/2008/12/thanksgiving-in-july-ish.html
A real-life account of cooking and eating. Monday, December 1, 2008. How odd do you think that it must have been to be preparing a Thanksgiving meal for a Thanksgiving episode in what…July? Anyway, I know I’m late getting something posted about the show, but with the aforementioned holiday, my mind was elsewhere. Richard made a mistake mentally that cost him his station in the kitchen. When reading what the band really liked, he got stuck on bananas. For some reason, he thought it best to pair th...

Chop's Chops: Bucket List Caramel Apple Dip
http://chopschops.blogspot.com/2008/10/bucket-list-caramel-apple-dip.html
A real-life account of cooking and eating. Friday, October 31, 2008. Bucket List Caramel Apple Dip. Ordinarily, I would avoid posting a recipe that I hadn’t at least tried to make myself. But this one was just so good I just couldn’t help it. This comes courtesy of a co-worker of mine, Diane. She brought this plate of sin into our office today with a bag of apples, and now we all want to lie of the floor and take a nap. Diane’s Bucket List Caramel Dip:. 2 Bricks of softened cream cheese. Hi all. I'm ...

Chop's Chops: Gimme an H... Gimme an O
http://chopschops.blogspot.com/2009/02/gimme-h-gimme-o.html
A real-life account of cooking and eating. Thursday, February 26, 2009. Gimme an H. Gimme an O. Yeah, I know. I haven’t posted anything in a really long time on this blog. That’s my disclaimer to my wife who is always encouraging me to post stuff. But having found inspiration in last night’s Top Chef Finale, I had to put something up. And what a Finale it was…. 8221; In that case, I’m buying two. But I also picked Hosea to win it all, and he delivered. Until next time…. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Chop's Chops: Season 5 Elimination 2
http://chopschops.blogspot.com/2008/11/season-5-elimination-2.html
A real-life account of cooking and eating. Thursday, November 20, 2008. Season 5 Elimination 2. The producers of the show wasted no time at all thrusting the contestants into hostile territory and a professional kitchen. I can appreciate Tom’s charitable nature to allow them to use the kitchen of his flagship restaurant to serve a meal to pissed of runners-up. But at some point he had to be gritting his teeth thinking “I can’t believe I let this go out of my kitchen! And no, that’s not a real link. Every...

http://chopschops.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
A real-life account of cooking and eating. Thursday, August 14, 2008. 3 large potatoes, peeled. 1 pound of ground beef. 1 medium white or yellow onion. 2 stalks of celery. 1 can of beef stock. 2/3 cup of frozen peas. 2 cloves of garlic. Spread the meat and veggies in the bottom of a baking dish. Cover the top with the mashed potatoes, and a few small, intermittent dollops of butter. Then bake it all together at 400 until the peaks of the potatoes start to brown. Pull it out and serve hot. This week, I fi...
