I am a huge fan of potatoes. Maybe that is the Midwesterner in me. Maybe it because I love starch. I really don’t have an answer for it, but I do know that I love potatoes. So whenever I am looking for a side, I always look to potatoes first. Searching through the internet I found a great recipe for Parmesan Potato Wedges.
Topped with parmesan and parsley these potatoes are awesome!!

Last week Tucker and I drove to Michigan to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. It was a great time. Tucker loved the road trip. When we arrived I learned that we were going to deep-fry a Turkey. I have done this a couple of time before, so I helped prepare a marinade and we were off to deep-fry. Deep Frying is quick, easy and delicious.
Deep Fried Thanksgiving
Deep-frying gives you crispy skin and some of the juiciest turkey around.
Every Friday I usually list the things to do in DC. However, today is special. It is Black Friday. Only the greatest day to pick up kitchen gadgets. So I have compiled a list of the best deals today for Kitchen appliances and gadgets.
More Deals After the Break
Well it appears that I have swine flu. Since I am over 25 the ER told me to go home and take some tylenol. It was like a scene out of Seinfeld, “No tamiflu for you!!” After waiting 3 hours to get denied tamiflu they were nice and only charged me $18 for the two tylenol that they gave me. Hopefully I will be back blogging tomorrow. My fever is almost under control. On the bright side, the swine flu is the greatest diet plan ever. I have lost almost 8 pounds in 4 days. Take that biggest loser. Well I will be back tomorrow.
Rex
I can’t believe it is Wednesday already. The hangover from the weekend just past and now it is cocktail Wednesday. This week I am featuring my favorite drink. Rex’s Lemonade. It is a take on Lynchburg Lemonade but it uses the most regal brand of whiskey, Crown. The name itself exudes royal acclaim. So lets get to drinking.

Topped with not one but two cherries emphasizes the royal nature of this drink.

A couple of months back I did a post on how to spice up boxed mac n cheese. It was a popular post so I decided to do another round. I know that homemade mac n cheese is the best, but we all have a box of mac in the cupboard. I am not too ashamed to admit it. Ok, maybe just a little bit. But, the blue box is cheap and tasty. Especially when you get home late from the bar. So here is my take on how to spice up boxed mac n cheese.
Pesto mac
Fresh pesto tossed in with the mac n cheese adds an amazing flavor. You can barely tell that the cheese was once in powder form. Really.
I want to let everyone know that I do read all of the emails that I get. There was a common theme in my emails this last month. Lets set this up. About a month ago I was extremely busy and didn’t have enough time to thoroughly read and review a cookbook. So I wrote a post about the Green Monster Cocktail. Since that day I have been getting a ton of emails from loyal readers saying that they would prefer a cocktail over a book review. I say if you want a cocktail, I will deliver. Plus it allows me to drink on the job. Hooray!!! I know that some people like the book reviews so I am going to throw a link to one every so often. A full review won’t be featured on the main page, but a link to the full review will be provided. So here we go. Time for a cocktail.
The Old Fashioned
This week I decided to go old school and make a drink reminiscent of the 50’s as I have been watching a lot of Mad Men (a great TV show, check it out).
