yowza, the jambalaya turned out a bit too spicy for my liking. i must've added too much pepper sauce or something.

nixed the stir fry and made a bastardized version of goulash..this is a dish that needs to be on more menus in restaurants..

Corn and Butternut Squash Chowder

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 5 cups)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 box (10 ounces) frozen corn, thawed
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream

In a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high; add squash and onion. Cook until onion is soft, about 6 minutes. Add corn and curry powder; cook about 2 minutes, until curry is fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Add broth and simmer until squash is tender, about 25 minutes. In a blender, blend half the soup until smooth. Return to pot and stir in cream; heat through over medium-low (do not boil).

Best soup I've ever made.

no idea where to put this, but i've only recently discovered the brilliance and versatility that is this little delight

i'm not sure what took me so long to hop aboard the chipotle tabasco train, but boy am i glad i did

a few drops of tabasco can really take a slice of pizza to the next level.

man, the chipotle variety of tabasco sauce is just incredible...can't wait to baste it on some grilled chicken or take a meatloaf glaze to that proverbial next level

for the first time tonight, i made fish tacos using the oven instead of the grill and they turned out great. brushed the fillets with a bit of olive oil, seasoned them with cumin, cayenne, and salt, then tossed them in a bit of lime juice after they were done. served them on corn tortillas with a smear of guacamole.

I don't even like fish and those tacos sound fantastic
